Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Ljubelj. From this road before the gas station, we turn right in Tržič. We follow the road ahead through Tržič and on the other side of Tržič we turn right towards Lom pod Storžičem. This road ahead we follow towards signs Dom pod Storžičem. We park on a parking lot few meters before the mountain hut.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on the path in the direction of Storžič through Žrelo and over Škarjev rob. The path at first leads us parallel with the road, and then at the end of the mountain pasture Jesenje (near the smaller cottage) turns left and after few minutes of additional walking, it splits into two parts. Right steep path leads on Storžič through Žrelo, and straight over Škarjev rob. We go right and relatively steep path, which runs through the forest we follow to the entrance into a more demanding part. To here we need approximately half an hour of walking.
Because of the danger of falling stones before the entrance into a gully, we put on a helmet. Very steep and in wet for slipping dangerous path at first leads us on the right side of the gully, which the path higher avoids and goes a little to the right. Further, there are some fixed safety gear with the help of which we get over some exposed passages. Higher, the path turns slightly towards the left and returns in the gully through which we are then ascending towards the end of it. Gully ends or begins with a wall, which we then climb with the help of numerous fixed safety gear. When we step to the top of this wall a nice view opens up on the south side. We continue left (right Psica) and we continue the ascent on in parts quite narrow and occasionally exposed ridge. Towards the summit, the ridge widens a little, and from the right the easiest path on Storžič joins, which leads over mountain pasture Javornik. Next, only a shorter ascent on the upper slope of Storžič follows, and we reach the peak in few minutes.
Recommended descent is over Škarjev rob.
