Dom pod Storžičem - Velika Poljana (footpath)

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 driving right towards Tržič. Then drive through Tržič towards Dolžanove 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, and we follow the gravel road towards Dom pod Storžičem. We 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 the Hut below Storžič we 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 we arrive at a small wooden hut where the path forks into two parts. We take the slightly right path (left Storžič through Žrelo and over Škarjev rob), which continues along and beside a fairly steep cart track. Higher up the path flattens somewhat and turns right. We then ascend sideways to the right for a while, then reach the edge of a steep gully, across which we climb sideways to the nearby wide cart track, reaching it just at its end. We immediately leave the mentioned cart track and continue slightly left into the forest. We proceed through the forest for some time on a path that gently descends for a while, then reach a small junction from where we continue towards Mala Poljana.
From the junction the path begins to ascend again, constantly crossing the slopes to the right. Higher we reach a cart track along which we quickly walk to nearby Mala Poljana.
From Mala Poljana, where the path from Zalog joins, we continue left towards Velika Poljana. The path, which ahead runs along the cart track quickly enters the forest through which it then ascends transversely. After a few minutes of walking we reach a viewpoint slope from which a nice view opens to the surrounding mountains. Just a bit further the cart track turns right and after a short ascent brings us to the upper edge of Velika Poljana, from where we descend in a few minutes to Koča na Veliki Poljani.
