Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Kranj - vzhod and follow the road ahead in the direction of Jezersko. Before we come on Zgornje Jezersko, or more precisely immediately after the inn Kanonir, we leave the main road and we continue driving left on a local road which starts moderately ascending by the stream Reka. We soon get to a smaller crossroad, where left steep upwards road towards Kozji vrh branches off, and we continue on a wider road which we follow to the next crossroad. Here we continue left in the direction of Storžič (right Stegovnik) and we are still ascending by the stream. Higher in the middle of sharp right turn in the direction of straight footpath towards Storžič and Kališče branches off, and we follow the road for some time, or more precisely to the spot, where we will notice a mountain signpost with the caption Javorniški preval 2h 10min. Here we park on an appropriate place by the road.
The road is from 20/7 to 20/10 CLOSED. When the road is closed we park lower, this extends ascent for a little less than an hour.
Path description:
From the starting point, we go on a steep footpath in the direction of saddle Javorniški preval. After few minutes of ascent, the path flattens and gradually brings us on a cart track, on which we cross the slopes towards the right. Only a little after cart track crosses wide torrent gully, we leave it and we continue the ascent slightly left on at first parallel mountain path. The path ahead is for some time steeply ascending, and then turns to the right, where it crosses a little steeper gully. On the other side of the gully, the path flattens and in a moderate ascent crosses slopes towards the right. During the crossing path from Bašeljski preval joins from the left, and we follow traverse path to a crossing on the saddle Javorniški preval, wherealso is situated an inscription box of mountaineering club Viharnik.
Here we continue right (sharply left Storžič, left Dom pod Storžičem) where after few 10 strides we get to the next crossing. The right path leads towards the saddle Močnikovo sedlo, and we continue on the left path in the direction of the mountain pasture Javornik. The path ahead continues on a wide and gentle cart track which for some time crosses slopes towards the northwest. After few minutes forest gets thinner and an increasingly panoramic path brings us to the mountain pasture Javornik, from which a beautiful view opens up.
