Path description:
From Tržič we have to walk on a sidewalk by the main road to the settlement Slap, where at the house »Pr Molinet« a road towards Lom pod Storžičem branches off to the right (straight - Dolžanova soteska). We turn towards Lom and just above the farm »Pr Travnarju«, which we see on the left, we notice a blaze, which points us on a cart track which leads "via Globel" and brings us in new part of Lom pod Storžičem and then part of Lom pod Storžičem, which the locals calls Kačja vas. We go past all houses and we descend to the bridge over the stream Lomščica, we continue few ten meters by the main road, and then the marked path at the turn below primary school Lom pod Storžičem branches off left, on a narrow asphalt road for approx 200 meters and then on a macadam road on which we come to a hamlet Potarje. We continue uphill, past dense houses, we cross the pasture, we cross the road for farm Tič (there is a signpost for marked path to the farm Tič) and by the buildings of farm Odričar, Potarje 12, which we see on the left, we continue slightly right and then on a cart track, we cross the forest road, we continue on a footpath uphill, through an overgrown forest clearing (on the right we can see forest road), but we have to stick to the footpath which ascends uphill, we cross the fence of the pasture (there is a wooden passage) and we come on a meadow below farms Strmec and Tič (we can't see the buildings, because we are below the hill, where the path joins the marked path "Grahovše - Planina Spodnja Konjščica (via Uskovca)".
We continue left and through a meadow we ascend to the yard of farm Tič, we go through the yard uphill (left - vegetable garden, right - business building) to the junction with bypass macadam road and for a short time, we continue on the road, and then blazes point us slightly to the left on a marked footpath which only a little higher returns on the road. We continue for some time on the road, where from the right joins also the path from the farm Pavšel. With nice views on the ridge of Kriška gora, only a little higher from the mentioned crossing we get to wooden log cabin, where the road ends (area is called Na Vršeh).
Here we continue slightly left on at first a little more overgrown path, on which we quickly get to a wooden cottage Potarje 44. We continue through the forest and because of numerous smaller crossings we carefully follow the blazes. A moderately steep path higher ascends steeper for a short time and only a little higher brings us to a forest road. We follow the road to the left, and we walk there only few meters, because then blazes and signpost point us to the right on an ascending footpath. The path ahead at first ascends on a slope straight upwards and then turns to the left and higher returns on the road right next to a viewpoint "Na Boštu" (viewpoint is from the marked path distant less than 5 minutes). When we step on the road, we continue right and after approximately 10 minutes of additional walking, we step out of the forest on the mountain pasture Spodnja Konjščica.
