Dom pod Storžičem - Storžič (through Žrelo)

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice motorway, take the Ljubelj exit. From this road, turn right into Tržič just before the petrol station. Follow the road through Tržič and on the other side of Tržič turn right towards Lom pod Storžičem. Follow this road towards the signs for Dom pod Storžičem. Park in the parking lot a few metres before the mountain hut.

Path description:
From the parking lot near Dom pod Storžičem, head onto the path towards Storžič, specifically the path through Žrelo and Čez Škarjev rob. The path initially leads parallel to the nearby road and ascends along the eastern edge of Planina Jesenje, where a small hut is located on the upper part of the pasture.
Here, continue left into the forest (the right path leads towards Mali Poljani), a few minutes further the path forks again.
This time, take the right path, alongside which there are signs for the very difficult path through Žrelo (straight ahead for the demanding path through Škarjev rob), and immediately begin a fairly steep ascent through the forest; higher up, the path leads along torrential deposits and soon brings us to the technically more demanding section, which we reach after about half an hour of walking from the starting point.
Before the steep section, put on a helmet, as there is a high risk of falling rocks in the continuation, and the very steep path, which is particularly prone to slipping when wet, first leads along the right side of the mighty gully Žrelo. Slightly higher, we withdraw from the gully even further to the right onto the slopes, where some safety devices assist on the exposed passages.
Higher up, the path turns slightly to the left and gradually returns to Žrelo; in the continuation, we steeply ascend towards the upper part of the gully, i.e., towards its headwall, which ends with a wall.
This is followed by the ascent of the wall, where numerous safety devices assist us, and we reach the main western ridge of Storžič at the Žrelo saddle, where there is also a marked junction.
Here, the equally very difficult path along the Psice ridge joins from the right, and we continue left towards Storžič.
The path ahead leads along and beside the western ridge of Storžič, which is quite narrow and very exposed in places. Higher up, the ridge widens somewhat; just below the summit, the technically easiest path to Storžič joins from the right, which leads from Planina Javornik and then up the south-western gully of Storžič.
Here, go left and ascend the summit slope of Storžič to the top in a few minutes.
Descent is possible via the somewhat easier path over Škarjev rob, or via the even easier but somewhat longer path over Mala and Velika Poljana back to Dom pod Storžičem.
