Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the left road, and from there we go immediately slightly right on a footpath in the direction of Storžič, Kališče, mountain pasture Javornik and the path Dolenčeva pot on Velika Poljana. The path ahead is at first gently, and then moderately ascending through the forest, and it soon brings us to a cart track. We continue the ascent on occasionally steeper cart track, where because of numerous crossings we carefully follow the blazes, and few times we also leave the cart track, because blazes occasionally lead also on a footpath. For some time still we walk on a footpath and the cart track alternately, on a slope which was heavily damaged by storm, that is why there are many larger clearings by the path.
Higher, at marked crossing we continue in the direction of Storžič, Kališče and mountain pasture Javornik (on a cart track continues the path on Velika Poljana). From the crossing ahead, the path becomes pretty steep, because old path became impassable due to numerous fallen trees, and then the path turns right and for some time flattens. Next follows few minutes of crossing towards the right, and then we step out of the forest and we get to southwestern groove of Storžič, by which we are ascending to the nearby marked crossing.
From the crossing, we continue left (straight Storžič and Kališče) and we diagonally ascend on a panoramic slope to the cottage Krničarjeva koča on the mountain pasture Planina Javornik.
