Access to starting point:
We drive to Tržič, and then we follow the signs for gorge Dovžanova soteska and Lom pod Storžičem. Still before Tržič ends, we get to a crossroad, where near the factory Lepenka, ascending road branches off to the right towards the settlement Lom pod Storžičem. At the crossroad, there is the beginning of the described path, we park on an appropriate place nearby.
Path description:
At the crossroad, we notice signs for Dom pod Storžičem and Storžič, which point us to the right on the road in the direction of the settlement Lom pod Storžičem. We at first walk past few more houses, after that signposts for the footpath point us slightly right on a cart track which continues through the forest. At few smaller crossings we continue left, and from the path for some time a nice view opens up on hamlet Slap. A little further, at the chapel we step out of the forest and the path brings us in the settlement Lom pod Storžičem, where we also reach narrower asphalt road. On the mentioned road, we go past few houses, and then we descend to the main road which we follow right upwards.
Further, we walk on an asphalt road, from which at first the road branches off to the left towards apartments Štorman, and a little ahead also a marked path towards Tič and mountain pasture Konjščica. We still walk on the road, and it leads past succursal primary school Lom pod Storžičem, and then also past the parish church of St. Katarina Aleksandrijska. With nice views we continue through the village, after that at smaller NOB monument we continue right on a side road which leads us past few more houses, and then the asphalt ends. We short time continue on a macadam, and then we return on the main road, on which we quickly reach the settlement Grahovše. Next follows quite gentle walk, where we walk past individual houses, and at the crossroads, we follow the signs for mountain hut Dom pod Storžičem. At the hamlet Slaparska vas asphalt finally ends, and the road a little ahead splits. We continue slightly right (left mountain pasture Javornik, Stegovnik, mountain pasture Konjščica, Bela peč and tourist farm Rekar). The road towards Dom pod Storžičem is for some time still very gentle, and when it passes into the forest it gradually starts moderately ascending. While walking on the road, the path leads us past a trough with water, and a little further, after a smaller religious symbol signs for Dom pod Storžičem point us to the right. Next follows crossing of a stream and immediately after the stream we go left on a footpath which at first steeply ascends through a narrow lane of a forest, after that is further mostly moderately ascending over Senožeti (meadows). During the ascent over Senožeti a nice view opens up on Bela peč and Storžič, and higher also on Begunjščica and Stol. When we leave Senožeti, we at first cross a bad macadam road, and then we get very close to a macadam road which leads towards Dom pod Storžičem.
We continue on a marked path, which returns into the forest, and we continue there all the way to the mountain hut Dom pod Storžičem, which we reach after few minutes of additional walking.
