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 Dovžanova soteska, and then at the end of the town, we continue right in the direction of Lom pod Storžičem and Grahovše. When we get to Grahovše we drive on the road to the nearby quarry, by which we park.
Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on the road ahead, and when the road branches off to the right towards the hamlet Slaparska vas, we continue slightly left and we quickly get to a crossroad in the middle of which there are several signposts.
We continue left in the direction of the mountain pasture Javornik, Stegovnik, mountain pasture Planina Konjščica, Bela peč and sledding ground Rot (slightly right - Dom pod Storžičem) and we quickly ascend to the sports field ŠD Lom, from where a nice view opens up towards Storžič. Only a little further, the road passes into the forest and past a religious symbol brings us to a smaller crossroad from which we continue right in the direction of the footpath and tourist farm Rekar. Next follows few minutes of a diagonal ascent through the forest and then we step out of the forest and with nice views on surroundings we reach tourist farm Rekar.
We continue through the yard, where we follow the blazes, and after the chicken coop, the path leads us on and by a smaller torrent ditch. A little further, the path turns left and becomes steeper, and we quickly join a grassy cart track which takes us back into the forest. When we in the forest reach another cart track, we follow it to the right, and from there already after few steps we go straight on a marked path, on which we ascend to the nearby macadam road, where from the left joins the path past the homestead Tič. We follow the road to the right, and at the smaller crossroad, we go straight.
At the part named Nad kotlom, the path towards Dom pod Storžičem branches off to the right, and we continue on the road which few minutes ahead brings us to the next marked crossing, where from the right joins another path from Dom pod Storžičem.
The road then on the left side bypasses Gaberčev rovt, and at the left turn we leave it and we continue straight on a marked path, which gradually starts ascending steeper. A quite steep path higher crosses a grazing fence, behind which it flattens and it brings us to a crossing, where sharply to the right continues the path towards the mountain pasture Javornik, and we continue few steps ahead to a macadam road which we follow to the left.
Follows only a good minute of walking and we get to the cottage Pr Zdravc, from which a beautiful view opens up towards the south.
From the cottage, we short time continue on the road, and on a smaller saddle where the road starts descending, we leave it and we continue right in the direction of Bela peč. Next follows an ascent on a forested ridge, from which occasionally a view opens up a little towards the left, where below us there are steep slopes, and on the right side, where a view is veiled by a dense forest, the slope is less steep. Higher a marked path from the ridge turns left, and at the mentioned part we leave it and we continue straight, where only about a minute higher we reach the cart track, on which we continue the ascent. The cart track few minutes higher splits, and we continue slightly left on a bit worse cart track which soon starts vanishing. On easier pathless terrain we continue to a small saddle, where we continue right towards the main summit. We continue the ascent on at first still indistinct ridge and we follow the ridge "path" all the way to a partly vegetated peak, where there is an inscription box.
