Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on a footpath between the both roads. The path starts moderately to steeply ascending through the forest on southwestern slopes of Storžič. After 45 minutes of walking, the path brings us to a crossing at "snack bar". Here we go right (left Poljana) on the upper path which continues relatively steeply ascending. The path soon crosses a cart track and slowly starts turning a little to the right. After an hour and a half of walking, we step out of the forest and the path brings us into mighty southwest gully of Storžič. We follow the gully only few meters. At the small stream we turn left upwards and in few minutes we get to the cottage Krničarjeva koča.
At the cottage, we go left towards Poljana. The path which crosses slopes towards the west with gentle ascents and descents, we follow to Velika Poljana. This part of the path is on some parts slightly exposed and in wet dangerous for slipping.
