Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on a footpath between the both roads. The path starts moderately ascending through the forest on southwestern slopes of Storžič. After 45 minutes of walking, the path brings us to a crossing at "snack bar". Here we go left on the lower path, which in few minutes brings us to a pleasant well. The path ahead ascends steeper and still through the forest brings us on a cart track. Here we go left and we follow a wide path ahead. We soon get to the sharp right turn, where the path from the village Zalog joins. Only few meters and then we get to the second "snack bar". We follow the cart track ahead all the way to the cottage on Velika Poljana, where we also step out of the forest.
