Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana–Jesenice highway, take the Ljubelj (Tržič) exit, then just before the gas station at Bistrica pri Tržiču, turn right towards Tržič. Continue driving through Tržič in the direction of Dolžanova soteska, then in the settlement Slap continue right upwards towards the village Lom pod Storžičem and Grahovše. On the ascending road at the crossroads follow the signs for Dom pod Storžičem, which we follow to the large marked parking lot by the quarry in Grahovše.
Path description:
At the beginning of the parking lot, signs for Konjščica direct us left onto a narrower ascending road. The road soon rises above the village, then partly through the forest, partly with views of the ridge of Kriška gora, brings us to the farms Frona and Uskovnik (Uskovc), where the road ends. Here we continue among the houses on the path that goes into the forest and then ascends diagonally above the stream. A little higher we cross the mentioned stream, then the marked path turns left and brings us out of the forest onto a panoramic hayfield called Kožuhovca. Here we ascend past a decaying wooden cottage, above which we step onto a steep forest road. We only cross the road and continue the ascent in the direction of the homestead Tič. Just a few 10 meters higher, a marked path from Tržič or Lom pod Storžičem to Konjščica (via Potarje) also joins from the left; we continue straight and in about 10 minutes of further walking arrive at the farms Strmc and Tič. Here we continue across the yard of the farm Tič, uphill, and continue on the road for a short time, then the blazes direct us slightly left onto a marked footpath. If there is a lot of snow and the path is not trodden, we can continue on the road, as the path above the pasture also returns to the road. We continue on the road through the forest to the next pasture, where a path from the farm Pavšel also joins from the right. With nice views of the ridge of Kriška gora, just a little higher from the mentioned junction we arrive at a wooden log cabin, where the path along the road ends (the area is called Na Vršeh).
Here we continue slightly left on an initially somewhat more overgrown path, along which we quickly reach a wooden cottage, Potarje 44. We continue uphill through the forest, cross the forest road, then continue first right, then left, where the path moderately ascends for a short time. Due to numerous smaller junctions, carefully follow the blazes. We cross a stream, then the path merges with a cart track, and above a smaller clearing the path brings us to a forest road. We follow the road left and walk only a few meters on it, as the blazes and signpost then direct us right onto an ascending footpath. The path ahead first ascends the slope somewhat to the right, then straight up, and on a rocky scree it turns left and higher returns to the road just next to the viewpoint "Na Boštu" (the viewpoint is less than 5 minutes from the marked path). Just below the road, where they recently cut part of the forest, a view opens towards Tržič, Dobrča, Begunjščica and Košuta. When we step onto the road we continue right and after approximately 10 minutes of further walking step out of the forest onto the pasture Spodnja Konjščica.
The shepherd hut on the mentioned pasture we bypass on the left side and continue on the marked path, which gently ascends to the upper edge of the pasture. Here the path goes into the forest and ascends more steeply for a short time, then turns somewhat to the left and gradually flattens. Just a little further we come out of the forest, where we step onto the pastures of the expansive Planina Zgornja Konjščica.
