Javorje - Koča na Starem vrhu

Access to starting point:
We drive to Poljane nad Škofjo Loko, and from the traffic-light crossroads there, we continue in the direction of the settlement Javorje. When Poljane ends, the road leads us through Volča, and after the mentioned settlement, the road starts to ascend more steeply. Higher up, we also go through Dolenčice, and then we already arrive in Javorje, where we park on the parking lot near the branch primary school Javorje.

Route description:
From the parking lot, in front of which we find some basic information about the Javorje meteorite (the Javorje meteorite is the 3rd found meteorite on the territory of Slovenia), we continue past the primary school, and behind the school signs point us to the left. Next follows an ascent on an asphalt footpath, and a little higher we return to the asphalt road, which we follow to the left. On the road, from which beautiful views open up, we quickly arrive at a marked crossroad from which we continue right in the direction of Škofja Loka, Stari vrh and sv. Brikcija (left Blegoš, Žetina and church of the Assumption of Mary).
A few tens of meters further, the road splits once again, and we continue straight or slightly right (sharply left Mladi vrh and Stari vrh over Podvrh), where a little further we also leave the settlement Murave. Next follows a diagonal ascent on a panoramic asphalt road, from which higher a road towards Podvrh branches off to the left. We continue straight and continue walking on the road all the way to the settlement Četena Ravan, where signs for the church sv. Brikcija point us to the left on a footpath. Next follows a short steep ascent and we already arrive at the church sv. Brikcija.
At the church, we reach an asphalt road, on which we descend back to the road which leads towards Stari vrh and Škofja Loka, on it we quickly arrive at a marked crossroad on Preval, from where we continue left in the direction of the family park Stari vrh and the inn Stari vrh. We continue on an ascending asphalt road which leads us along the edge of the ski slope, and higher also past the family park Stari vrh. We continue on the asphalt road, from which soon slightly to the left the circular paths "med gorami, Valentinova and hunting path" branch off. Next follows a few minutes of diagonal ascent and we arrive at the Koča na Starem vrhu.
