Dom pod Storžičem - Tolsti vrh

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana-Jesenice motorway, take the Ljubelj (Tržič) exit, then continue driving towards Ljubelj. Just before the petrol station in Bistrica pri Tržiču, leave the main road and continue right towards Tržič. Continue through Tržič towards Dolžanova soteska, then at the end of the town continue right towards Lom pod Storžičem and Grahovše. At the end of Grahovše village, the asphalt ends, but we follow the gravel road towards Dom pod Storžičem. Follow this gravel road, which is steeper in the upper part, to the parking lot near Dom pod Storžičem.

Route description:
From the starting point near Dom pod Storžičem, continue briefly along the road (direction Storžič), then head onto the parallel mountain path that gently ascends along the edge of the meadow. At the upper part of the meadow, reach a small wooden hut where the path splits into two. Choose the slightly right path (left to Storžič through Žrelo and over Škarjev rob), which continues along and on a relatively steep cart track. Higher up, the path levels out a bit and turns right. Then we ascend transversely to the right for a while, then arrive at the edge of a steep gully, across which we ascend transversely to the nearby wide cart track, reaching it just at its end. Immediately leave the mentioned cart track and continue slightly left into the forest. Continue through the forest on a path that gently descends for a while, then reach a small junction, from where continue towards Mala Poljana.
From the junction onwards, the path starts ascending again, constantly crossing the slopes to the right. Higher up, reach a cart track, along which quickly walk to nearby Mala Poljana.
From Mala Poljana, where paths from Velika Poljana and Zalog join, continue right towards Tolsti vrh, on a path that ascends transversely to the western edge of the pasture. Higher up, the path enters the forest, continuing with the exception of a few small clearings until reaching the ridge, where the path from Gozd joins.
Continue right on the ascending path that leads through sparse, mostly spruce forest to the summit treeless slope of Tolsti vrh. Follow this increasingly panoramic path, which ascends relatively steeply along the southern ridge, all the way to the summit of this panoramic mountain.
