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 Dolžanova soteska, and then at the end of the town we continue right in the direction of Lom pod Storžičem and Grahovše. On the part between Lom pod Storžičem and Grahovše, a road branches off to the left towards the farm Tič and hamlet Potarje. We continue driving in the direction of Tič on a little narrower asphalt road all the way to a crossroad below the farm Tič, where the asphalt ends. This is our starting point, named "Na kopiš" (Na kopišču), where there is also a signpost and recycling spot from the mountain farms. We park on an appropriate place by the crossroad (to the right a road branches off for farm Tič and Strmec, to the left the road for farm Pinč and Urh). On the signpost we also notice signs for mountain pasture Konjščica (left - for a variant of access on the macadam road all the way to the mountain pasture Spodnja Konjščica, which is visible further and more appropriate for cycling, and to the right for a variant past the farm Tič - look the variant of access and description of the path "Na kopiš - Spodnja Konjščica (via Tič)".
Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on the macadam road in the direction of the mountain pasture Planina Konjščica (on the sign a caption mountain pasture Konjšca), which at first moderately ascends on a saddle east from Vratni vrh (1081 meters). After the saddle, the road flattens, and then it leads us without large changes in altitude on the western to northwestern slopes. We soon get to the next crossroad, where we continue slightly right (slightly left on the bottom road a homestead Urh-Pinč).
From the crossroad ahead, the road starts ascending steeper through the forest. Higher, the path leads also past few smaller streams, and then after a short panoramic part, from where a nice view opens up towards Košuta and other surrounding mountains, it entirely flattens. After the saddle south from Zadnji vrh (1218 meters) the road starts moderately descending, and after few minutes brings us to the next crossroad, where we continue in the direction of Konjščica (straight mountain pasture Vetrh). Next follows few minutes of a steep ascent, on the road which gradually turns to the right. Next follows traversing of slopes towards the right, where the path at first leads past a smaller wooden cottage, and a little higher also past the bench by the well Žegnani studenec. A little above the bench we get to a crossroad, where we continue left (straight Grahovše), and then we again start ascending steeper. Higher, the path leads us on a panoramic and steep slope, and at the end of the mentioned part from the right joins also the marked path from Lom pod Storžičem and Grahovše.
We continue on the road which leads us also past a grazing fence, and behind it we quickly get out of the forest and consequently to the shepherd hut on the mountain pasture Spodnja Konjščica.
