Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Ljubelj (Tržič), and then we continue driving towards Ljubelj. Just before the gas station in Bistrica pri Tržiču we leave the main road and we continue driving right in the direction of Tržič. Further, we drive through Tržič in the direction of gorge Dolžanova soteska, and then at the end of the town we continue right in the direction of Lom pod Storžičem and Grahovše. At the end of the village Grahovše asphalt ends, and further we follow the macadam road in the direction of the mountain hut Dom pod Storžičem. This in the upper part steeper macadam road, we then follow to the parking lot near the mountain hut Dom pod Storžičem.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the road which continues by the right side of the nearby mountain pasture Jesenje. The road soon turns to the right and starts slightly ascending. A little higher we cross a landslide slope, and then we get to a crossroad, where we go on the left road in the direction of Poljana. The path ahead again starts gently ascending on a macadam road, and it brings us to the next crossroad, where we continue on the right road (direction Mala Poljana). Further, the road is getting worse and gradually it brings us to a smaller stream, which is situated in the middle of the forest. After the small stream we turn left on a cart track and there we start ascending steeper. After approximately 20 minutes of ascent on a cart track we come out of the forest and we step on Mala Poljana, from where a nice view opens up towards the south.
From here we continue left following the signs Velika Poljana. Ahead we walk on the wide path, at first through the forest, which a little before the mountain pasture narrows a little and passes on a steep clearing. Here is in the winter time danger of avalanches. After that, the path once again for few steps ascends and brings us on the mountain pasture. And to the cottage we have to descend few meters on the mountain pasture downwards.
