Access to starting point:
We leave Gorenjska highway at exit Podtabor, and then we follow the road in the direction towards Ljubelj. We drive past the exit for Tržič, past the settlement of newer houses, and then soon after the smaller underpass at the first turn-off we turn right, where we continue sharply right and we drive to the nearby company Mikro S, where the described path begins.
When we are returning back in the direction of the highway, at the main road the mandatory direction is to the right, so we have to go in Podljubelj and turn there, a better option is, that we go over the overpass, after the overpass right, and then still before the center of Podljubelj we go sharply to the right on the main road in the direction of the highway. We can return also through Tržič.
Path description:
From the parking lot at the company Mikro S we descend a little in the direction of Tržič, and at the nearby crossroad, we go sharply right and we ascend to the overpass over which we pass on the other side of the main road. On the other side of the overpass we go left on a macadam road (right - Podljubelj), where we go past Kramarjeva guba, and a little further, the road splits, and we choose the upper right road (the bottom road leads to Kajžerjeva guba), which only a little further passes into the forest and it starts ascending diagonally. Higher, we get to a crossroad, where we continue left (right Bistriška planina - on the road). Next follows few minutes of a diagonal ascent, and when at the right turn we reach an indistinct side ridge, we continue right on a cart track which starts ascending steeply. Cart track a little higher splits, and we choose the right cart track, to which soon from the left joins a marked path from Tržič.
Further, we are ascending diagonally towards the right, and we walk on a worse cart track which leads us on a steeper slope. On the top of the steep part, from the memorial a nice view opens up in the direction of Storžič, and we continue on a gently sloping path, which only a little further joins the road which we lower at the crossroad left.
We reach the road at the part, where it changes into a cart track, and from the cart track we go quickly left on a marked path which continues through the forest. Through the forest at few smaller crossings we follow the blazes, and then we return on a cart track, on which we are for a short time moderately ascending, and then we gradually start descending and we quickly reach the forest road which we follow to the right. Next follows a gentle walk by the edge of the mountain pasture Bistriška planina, when we reach the road Brezje pri Tržiču - Bistriška planina we go right. Next follows some of a light ascent and on the unmarked parking lot we continue right to the mountain pasture, through which we ascend to mountain dairy on Bistriška planina.
