Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Lipce and follow the road ahead in the direction of Jesenice. When we come to the traffic light crossroad, where we join an old road, we continue right in the direction of Žirovnica. And we follow this road only a short time because at the next little larger crossroad (traffic light) we continue left in the direction of Javorniški Rovt. The road then goes through the underpass (railway) and then turns left (right Koroška Bela). The road that higher starts ascending steeply we follow in the direction of Javorniški Rovt. The mentioned road, we then follow to the parking lot near the mountain hut.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we walk to the mountain hut, and then we continue the ascent on at first poorly visible path, which ascends on the left side of swampy lake. Ahead clearly visible and wide path, after 5 minutes of walking, it brings us to the road, where there is also a crossing.
We continue straight (right Golica, left Javorniški Rovt) on the road in the direction of Črni vrh and Jelenkamen, which is moderately ascending past holiday cottages. From the mentioned road soon marked path on Jelenkamen branches off to the left, and we continue on the road for few more minutes.
When the road turns sharply to the left, we will notice blazes, which point us straight on at first a wide footpath which starts ascending by the stream. The path soon passes into a dense forest, where it then continues on and by a cart track. The marked path higher crosses a forest road and then flattens a little.
Even a little further, the path reaches a smaller indistinct saddle, after which it starts gradually descending. Next follows few minutes walk through a dense forest, where we cross a little bigger torrent stream. After the mentioned stream, the path ascends a little and brings us out of the forest on grassy slopes, from which a beautiful view opens up. Ahead, the path goes into a thin forest, where it is for some time gently ascending, and then starts descending past numerous holiday cottages. After few minutes of descent, the path brings us to a ski track, which we then follow to a midway station of one-seater chairlift Španov vrh. At the midway station, we notice signposts for ski lodge Črni vrh, which point us to the left downwards. After 2 minutes of walking from the spot where we left the ski track, the path brings us to the mentioned hut.
