Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Lipce (Jesenice east), where in the direction of right we drive towards Jesenice. At the first traffic light crossroad (settlement Slovenski Javornik) we turn right (direction Ljubljana) towards Koroška Bela, at the next crossroad from the traffic lights left, and soon once again left towards Javorniški Rovt (right Koroška Bela). When after few kilometers of driving uphill we get to the mentioned village, in second sharp left turn we get to the right turn-off of the macadam road towards the mountain hut Dom Trilobit (a sign). Right before that spot on the right there is a smaller parking lot - our starting point.
Path description:
From the starting point, we continue few meters on a macadam, whereupon we notice signposts with signs Valvazor and the path Gajškova pot. Here we go right, but we don't continue by following the blazes (right over the bridge), but on the cart track straight uphill. We soon get to the next bridge, where we cross the stream and the path (cart track) turns left uphill. Additional 15 min of walking, we follow the main cart track which means, that we ignore all turn-offs. On the left side of the path, we will twice notice the sign "Dom Trilobit".
After this, when the path ascends a little steeper, we run into a crossing of cart track, where we go right (left path "za Kraševcem" goes on the mountain pasture Stamare). Cart track is now turning more and more right and at first, it steeply ascends, then for a short time flattens, and once again ascends a little towards less steep part (saddle) between the both peaks of Boncla. We continue here on a cart track past indistinct eastern ridge of Mala Boncla, which is located on our right. The path winds a little and at the same time quite quickly again ascends, at first slightly and then also steeper. We walk on, or right by the steep cart track. Higher, the path brings us to a crossing of cart track, where we continue straight, or left (right Velika Boncla). When the path brings us through a small valley, steepness decreases. At the end of the less steep part we don't continue straight, as it is indicated, but we go left on a relatively steep forest slope, in the direction of north to north-east. On the slope, where the path is vanishing, we stick slightly to the right, and for orientation can serve a smaller with moss covered boulder (somewhere in the middle of the slope). Soon after this when the steepness decreases, we come over a less steep part of the forest to a small saddle, which is situated by partly rocky slope on our right. By the foot of this slope with some attention we notice the path, on which we go. The path which ascends, at first crosses to the left, and a little later it goes steep straight on a slope towards the summit. Here we might also have to help ourselves with hands. And then the path after the light and short crossing to the right again ascends straight on rocky terrain upwards. When the steepness decreases, we immediately go left on the edge of the slope, where on a smaller spruce we notice red sign, and we continue in indicated direction slightly left. Soon after this, we run into a cart track which runs through the forest, on which we go and we continue left. After this when it turns right, the cart track ascends on a slope, and further it makes also the left turn. Here nice views start opening up, and in few minutes of additional walking, we eventually step on the mountain pasture Stamare from its western side.
