Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Kranj - west and follow the road ahead in the direction of Golnik. Only a little after the village Golnik (more precisely after the village Senično) steep road branches off to the right upwards, which leads towards Zgornje Veterno and Gozd. Soon after the village Zgornje Veterno, we come to a marked parking lot, which is situated on the left side of the road (starting point for steep path), and we continue driving on an ascending road which soon brings us to the cottage Zavetišče v Gozdu. We can park on one of the two large parking lots by the mentioned cottage, or we drive good 100 meters ahead to the parking lot at the church.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we at first walk to the nearby church, and then we come at the marked crossing, where from the right side joins the path from Golnik. We continue slightly left and we continue the ascent on the road which past two successive NOB monuments brings us above the village, where the road changes into wide but steep cart track. After a short ascent, the cart track splits into two parts, and we continue on the right in the direction of Storžič, Tolsti vrh and Mala and Velika Poljana (left mountain hut Koča na Kriški gori). Cart track, which is diagonally ascending towards the east has in the lower part some crossings, but those are well marked, so that at orientation there aren't any bigger problems. Higher, the cart track changes into gradually increasingly steep footpath, and out of the forest it brings us on panoramic grassy slopes. Eventually, the path flattens and it brings us to a pleasant viewpoint with a bench, by which we notice a memorial plaque.
Further, the path crosses a steep grassy slope (dangerous for slipping and in the winter time also exposed to avalanches) and then passes into a dense forest, where we come to a marked crossing. We continue left (straight Velika and Mala Poljana over Štajnarica) in the direction of Tolsti vrh and we continue steeply upwards. Steep and mainly in wet for slipping dangerous path, which is diagonally ascending towards the right, higher brings us out of the forest on a panoramic grassy slope, where it turns a little towards the left. Next follows few minutes of a steep ascent, after that from the right joins the path from the mountain hut Dom pod Storžičem and Mala Poljana.
We go in the direction of Tolsti vrh and we continue the ascent on still quite steep path, which through a thin lane of a forest brings us on the upper slope of the mountain. Here the path slightly flattens and in few minutes of additional walking brings us to the top.
