Medvodje - Planina Spodnja Dolga njiva (via planina Brsnina)

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 left cart track (slightly right - mountain pasture Brsnina 3 minutes) to which only few steps further, the blazes join. Next follows crossing of a torrent, and a little ahead blazes from the cart track point us to the left, so that we then cross the slopes towards the left. Next follows traversing with some shorter ascents and descents, and the path leads us below the towers Turen, where there is some danger of falling stones. Further, the footpath starts vanishing and we follow the blazes, which a little further bring us on a cart track which we follow right upwards. Already quickly, still before an interesting cliff we go left, where we continue on a worse footpath which at first crosses slopes, and then it ascends diagonally on a steep slope. Slope, from which for some time a view opens up a little in the direction towards Storžič, gradually flattens, and the path brings us on a macadam road which is lightly descending. Few minutes we are descending, we then go at a crossroad right in the direction of Dolga njiva (on the road left we would descend into the valley) and we still continue an easy descent. A little further blazes point us to the right on an older cart track, on which we diagonally descend to a torrent, we cross it, and then through the pasture we walk to a marked crossing, where we go right and then in a minute of additional walking, we get to mountain dairy on the mountain pasture Spodnja Dolga njiva.
