Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Podnart (Ljubelj), and then we continue driving on the road towards Ljubelj and Tržič. When "fast road" ends (blue sign), we will on the right side notice gas station, in front of which we turn right downwards towards Tržič. Further, we drive through Tržič, and we follow the narrower road towards the gorge Dovžanova soteska and then through the village Dolina and Jelendol to Medvodje, where we park on a marked parking lot by the nearby crossroad.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the right road in the direction of Storžič, Stegovnik and waterfall Stegovniški slap (left - Košutnik, Košutnikov turn and mountain pasture Dolga njiva on a marked path), and after few 10 strides, we continue straight (right - waterfall Stegovniški slap). The path ahead leads us on a macadam road which continues along Tržiška Bistrica, and when we get to a crossroad at the confluence of the rivers Tržiška Bistrica and Fevča, we continue on the left road which continues by Tržiška Bistrica. Higher, the road turns sharply left and only few steps further it brings us to a crossroad, where we go right (the left road leads towards Medvodnica 1202 meters). Next follows an ascent in few hairpin turns, and then a beautiful view opens up towards the west, and the road still sticks direction of Tržiška Bistrica, even though we occasionally also go away from the riverbed. When higher we again pass on the right bank of Tržiška Bistrica, we then go at the first cart track right, and few minutes ahead, we join the cart track which continues from the end of the other forest road. Next follows few minutes of ascent on a rough cart track, and then we choose a slightly right, more grassy cart track (left - mountain pasture Spodnja Dolga njiva - further marked path), which only a minute further crosses a marked path Jezersko - Planina Spodnja Dolga njiva.
We continue on a cart track or we can follow a marked path to the right and in two minutes of additional walking, we get to an abandoned mountain pasture Brsnina.
