Dom pod Storžičem - Stegovnik (eastern way)

Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Ljubelj. From this road before the gas station, we turn right into Tržič. We follow the road ahead through Tržič and on the other side of Tržič we turn right towards Lom pod Storžičem. We follow this road ahead towards signs Dom pod Storžičem. We park on the parking lot a few meters before the mountain hut.

Path description:
From the parking lot in front of the mountain hut we go on the road which goes left in the direction of Javorniško sedlo and mountain pasture Javornik. The road after approximately 20 minutes of walking changes into a cart track. Here we can continue on a marked footpath which is quite abandoned or on a cart track. I recommend walking on a cart track because it is orientationally easier even though it isn't marked. We follow the cart track, which ascends quite steeply, through the forest to Javorniško sedlo, where there is a crossing.
We continue slightly left in the direction of Stegovnik and Močnikovo sedlo (sharply left mountain pasture Javornik, right Storžič) on a cart track which crosses eastern slopes of the secondary peak of Ženiklovec. After a few minutes of diagonal walking the cart track joins another slightly wider cart track, where we continue straight (slightly right) moderately downwards. The cart track quickly flattens and the path past a decaying trough with water brings us to a panoramic grassy slope, where we run into an orientational loop. At the signpost, which is often fallen down, we leave the cart track and continue left on a grassy slope upwards. After a short ascent, the path turns right and continues through the spruce forest. The mountain footpath already after a few minutes of additional walking widens into a cart track, which we then follow for quite some time (blazes on this part are rare and faded). After a while the cart track again turns into a footpath which through the forest brings us to the southern slopes of Mali Javornik. The occasionally quite panoramic path quickly returns into the forest, where from the southern slopes it passes to the eastern. The path, which further mostly slightly descends, eventually brings us to the saddle between Mali Javornik and Stegovnik, where there is also a crossing.
We continue left in the direction of Stegovnik (straight Mačensko sedlo) on the path which crosses a belt of high grass. The path ahead starts slightly descending and in a few minutes brings us to a parallel path, which runs along the western slopes of Ženiklovec and Mali Javornik. Here we continue right (left mountain pasture Javornik) and the path in a few steps brings us to the window in Stegovnik. With the help of a steel cable we ascend to the first window in the middle of which a passage opens up left over a ladder downwards. The window then narrows (watch your head) and the path brings us to the other side of the side ridge. On the other side of the window the path starts to ascend more steeply and in switchbacks brings us to the ridge of Stegovnik. There follows another 10 minutes of walking along the panoramic ridge. In the snow the ridge is dangerous for slipping.
We can descend on the western path.
