Planina Vetrh - Veliki Javornik (Ženiklovec)

Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Tržič, and then we continue driving towards the gorge Dovžanova soteska. Towards the end of Tržič we leave the road towards the gorge Dovžanova soteska and we continue driving right in the direction of Lom pod Storžičem. Above Lom pod Storžičem, at right hairpin turn we leave the main road which leads higher towards Grahovše and Dom pod Storžičem and we continue driving left in the direction of the settlement Potarje. On the asphalt road, we drive to a crossroad below the tourist farm Pr Tič, where we continue left towards the mountain pasture Konjščica. Next follows driving on a macadam road, from which soon road towards the farm Pinč branches off to the left. Here we go right on the upper road which becomes considerably worse, and there we drive for quite some time to the next crossroad. From the crossroad, we continue straight on the bottom road (right upward mountain pasture Konjščica), which a little ahead crosses the stream Vetrnik. At the next crossroad, we go left, and after 50 meters we park on a marked parking lot by the edge of the mountain pasture Planina Vetrh. From the crossroad at factory Lepenka in Tržič to the starting point, there is approximately 11 km, of this 6 km macadam.
B) a) First, we drive to Tržič, and then we continue driving towards the gorge Dovžanova soteska. Further, we drive through gorge Dovžanova soteska, Dolina, to Jelendol, where in triangular crossroad we continue on the right road towards Medvodje. Few kilometers ahead road towards the mountain pasture Zali potok branches off to the left, and by Tržiški Bistrica we drive for some time, more precisely to first driving road to the right, which over a bridge crosses Tržiška Bistrica. After the bridge, we start ascending on a worse macadam road which is on some parts often in quite bad condition. At the crossroads, we continue straight, after the road flattens we quickly get to a marked parking lot on the periphery of the mountain pasture Planina Vetrh, where we park. From the crossroad at factory Lepenka in Tržič to the starting point, there is approximately 12.5 km, of this 3.7 km very bad macadam road, and some more better macadam.

Path description:
On the eastern side of the parking lot, we notice a cart track which through the forest ascends to the near forest road which we follow to the left. On the road, we quickly get to right hairpin turn, from which a nice view opens up towards Košuta, Plešivec and surrounding mountains. Further at first through trees still a view opens up a little and then the path passes into a quite dense forest, through which it is ascending on the western slopes of Pečica (1421 meters) and later Maljevec (1502 meters). On slopes of Maljevec we don't walk long, because road brings us into a small valley of the stream Vetrnik. Over a bridge road quickly passes on the left bank of the stream and then we are few minutes ascending next to a stream. When higher road once again crosses the stream (this time without bridge), we leave it and before crossing of the stream we continue right on a wider cart track which starts ascending through the forest. On a crossing of cart tracks we continue slightly left, after that few minutes higher we return on a macadam road which we follow to the right.
While walking on the road, we quickly get to a marked crossing, from which we continue straight in the direction of the mountain pasture Planina Javornik (right Bela peč, mountain pasture Konjščica and cottage Pr Zdravc). From the crossing, we continue on a cart track, and then through a lane of a forest we ascend to the mountain pasture Javornik, which we reach after few minutes of additional walking.
From the mountain pasture, we continue straight (left - Stegovnik, right - Storžič, Kanonir and Dom pod Storžičem) on a moderately steep grassy slope, where at first we can still follow the path which from the mountain pasture ahead isn't marked anymore, and higher it changes into easier pathless terrain. When the footpath ends, we continue on a grassy slope, which resembles some ski track. This "path" from which increasingly beautiful views opening up, we follow all the way to the inscription box on Veliki Javornik or Ženiklovec, and we come there after a little less than 30 minutes of ascent from the mountain pasture Javornik.
