Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice highway, we head to the Lipce exit, and then drive right towards Jesenice. In the settlement Javornik, at the first traffic-light intersection, we turn right (direction Lj.) towards Koroška Bela. At the next intersection with a traffic light, we turn left, and soon again left towards Javorniški Rovt. After a few kilometers of uphill driving (when we have already arrived in the mentioned village), in a sharp left bend, the macadam road branches off straight ahead towards Dom Trilobit (sign). After a few 100 m, we arrive at the lake, by which the road runs, and on the left we notice Dom Trilobit. When we drive past this structure, the road in the forest ends, and here is our starting point.
Path description:
On the left side from the starting point, uphill leads a somewhat damaged cart track, on which we head and at the same time encounter the first blaze. After a few minutes, we notice a branch-off of the cart track to the right towards the mountain pasture Stamare, but we continue straight to the spot where the path approaches the streambed of the stream. Here the cart track turns left and ends at the upper spring of the Javornik stream or transitions into a forest path. This one starts to ascend ever more steeply, first straight, then winding through the forest. On the left, we will be able to notice a monument with a fence, and after only 45 minutes of walking arrive at the second monument (to the hunter) by the path, where on the right there is a completely destroyed bench. The steepness eases somewhat, and the path directs left towards the north, where for some time it runs through a mixed woodland. Here, on the right, first we can observe the screes of Srednica, later a view gradually opens eastward towards the amphitheater Rida. We can observe it fully thereafter when the forest transitions into a belt of dwarf pines. A few more zigzags and we are already near the mountain pasture Seče, where on a tree we encounter direction signs.
We continue only slightly right along a less pronounced valley towards the border ridge to the north. When we reach it (border stone), we head right, where we continue uphill among dwarf pines along the border ridge, where the path occasionally runs along the right edge. When we arrive at a fairly narrow part of the ridge, the more demanding part of the path begins, followed first by a steep rocky descent along an aluminum wire rope unsecured below. Then we find ourselves on an even narrower part of the ridge, where the path (first right) runs between and alongside dwarf pines. Soon another short descent follows over very crumbly rocky terrain, and the path thereafter gradually turns to the left side of the ridge, where it soon steeply ascends back to its top along an aluminum rope. Exposure and difficulties do not ease, and we find ourselves before the third obstacle: an almost vertical chimney equipped with the same rope and steel pegs. When we reach its top, the path runs along the right side of the ridge, where it ascends slightly and then descends more steeply, and soon along a similar rope also very steeply ascends eastward (caution, wet terrain!). Towards the top of the ascent, the path turns right, where later we find ourselves among dwarf pines at the end of the Skalaška pot.
We continue along the top of the border ridge in the direction of Mali Vrh, where the path with beautiful views leads us to its summit. From here we continue in the same direction, where we still walk along the ridge path beside the northern precipices of Belščica, which after some time finally brings us near the saddle west of Vajnež, onto which we climb in a few steps of further walking.
