Access to starting point:
We drive to Poljane nad Škofjo Loko, and there from a traffic light crossroad, we continue in the direction of the settlement Javorje. When Poljane ends, the road leads us through Volča, and after the mentioned settlement, the road starts ascending steeper. Higher, we go also through Dolenčice, and then we already get to Javorje, where we park on a parking lot near the succursal primary school Javorje.
Path description:
From the parking lot, in front of which we find some basic information about the meteorite Javorč (meteorite Javorč is the 3rd found meteorit on the territory of Slovenia), we continue past the primary school, and behind the school signs point us to the left. Next follows an ascent on asphalt footpath, and a little higher we return on an asphalt road which we follow to the left. On the road, from which beautiful views opening up, we quickly get to a marked crossroad from which we continue right in the direction of Škofja Loka, Stari vrh and Sveti Brikcij (left Blegoš, Žetina and church of the Assumption of Mary).
Few 10 meters further, the road once again splits, and we continue straight or slightly right (sharply left Mladi vrh and Stari vrh over Podvrh), where a little further we also leave settlement Murave. Next follows a diagonal ascent on a panoramic asphalt road, from which higher the road towards Podvrh branches off to the left. We continue straight and we continue walking on the road all the way to the settlement Četena Ravan, where signs for the church Sveti Brikcij point us to the left on a footpath. Next a short steep ascent follows and we already get to the church of St. Brikcij.
At the church, we reach an asphalt road, on which we descend back to the road which leads towards Stari vrh and Škofja Loka, and then we quickly get to a marked crossroad on Preval, from where we continue left in the direction of family park Stari vrh and inn Stari vrh. We continue on an ascending asphalt road which leads us by the edge of the ski track, and higher also past family park Stari vrh. We continue on the asphalt road, from which soon slightly to the left circular path "Med gorami, the path Valentinova pot and the hunting path" branch off. Next follows few minutes of a diagonal ascent and we get to the mountain hut on Stari vrh.
From the mountain hut, we continue forward, so that upper station of six-seater chairlift Stari vrh we bypass on the left side, where we continue on a cart track which crosses a ski track and passes into the forest. Through the forest, we are ascending on a cart track which makes few hairpin turns, and at the crossings we follow the blazes. Higher, we once again cross the ski track, and then by the edge of the forest we ascend to a log cabin, where the path past the playground returns into the forest. Next follows few more 10 strides of walking and we get to Stari vrh, for a nice view it is worthed to continue for approximately 10 minutes to the vantage point, where there are bench, table and inscription box.
