Dom Trilobit - Hrašenska planina (Za Kraševcem)

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice motorway, take the Lipce exit and follow the road ahead towards Jesenice. When we reach the traffic-light-controlled junction where we join the old road, continue right towards Žirovnica. Follow this road only briefly, as at the next somewhat larger junction (traffic lights) we continue left towards Javorniški Rovt. The road then goes through an underpass (railway) and then turns left (right Koroška Bela). Follow the road, which higher up starts to ascend steeply, towards Javorniški Rovt, but only to the junction where in a sharp left bend the road branches off to the right (straight ahead) towards the Dom Trilobit hut and the Javornik spring (prohibited for buses). A little further, the road brings us to the mentioned hut and the reservoir at HE Javornik. We park on the informal parking lot located behind the lake and Dom Trilobit hut (parking in front of the hut is not allowed).

Path description:
From the parking lot, head onto the cart track in the direction of the natural science and mining educational trail. The cart track immediately starts to ascend quite steeply along the left side of the stream that we hear nearby. Soon the path brings us to a wooden pole where the signpost for Planina Stamare directs us right (straight to Planina Seča). Continue right and the cart track path brings us in a few minutes to the interesting spring of the Javornik stream.
Continue the ascent along the cart track, which has a few minor junctions, but if we follow the markers of the mining educational trail we will have no major orientation problems. The cart track then turns into a less visible footpath, which a little higher joins a wide cart track that we follow left uphill.
Then follow the often quite muddy cart track past a larger rock (boulder), after which we become alert. Approximately 3 minutes of walking from the mentioned rock, the cart track turns right, but we leave it exactly in this bend and continue the ascent straight ahead along a barely visible path that initially ascends through quite sparse forest. The increasingly less visible path then brings us into dense forest, where it starts steeply ascending along smaller torrents uphill (orientation on this section is very demanding). Higher up, the path becomes easier to follow and after a few minutes of further walking brings us to the pasture fence. Ahead we "cross" the fence and in a few more steps step onto Planina Stamare (the shepherd's hut is located on the eastern part of the pasture).
Continue along the left side of the pasture and after a few steps of ascent the path brings us into the forest, where a somewhat poorer path joins us from the right, coming from the eastern part of the pasture. Continue straight along the relatively steep path, which higher up emerges from the forest onto slopes covered with brushwood and turns slightly to the left. A gentle traversing ascent follows and the path brings us to Hrašenska Planina, where we notice the shepherd's hut.
