Jekarica - Praprotnikova koča

Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Jesenice, take the exit Kranj - East and follow the road ahead in the direction of Jezersko, but only to the inn Kanonir, where we turn left and follow initially the still asphalted road. At all crossroads, follow the signs for Storžič. When the road makes a sharp right turn, we notice the signposts for Kališče and Storžič. We park on the parking lot near the signpost in a way that we do not hinder forestry work. The road is from 20.7. to 20.10. CLOSED. When the road is closed, we park lower, which extends the ascent by one hour.

Path description:
At the turn we head onto the cart track to the left of the signposts. Already after a few meters on the tree we notice a blaze which tells us that we are on the right path. After a good five minutes of walking, a signpost directs us left onto a footpath. The path, which starts moderately ascending, soon brings us to a cart track which we only cross. The path only about a minute ahead again crosses a cart track, then ascends steeper. The path slowly turns slightly towards the left and brings us to a smaller ridge, where we come very close to the cart track. For some time we ascend alongside the cart track, then the footpath brings us to the vantage point, where a bench stands. The path ahead again brings us to a cart track, but this time to the spot where it ends. It is also possible to access via the cart track (at all junctions stick to the left directions, the beginning is the same). The path ahead is somewhat harder to follow since large amounts of fallen trees prevent ascent on the marked path, therefore we have to find passages which are only partly beaten. When we overcome this part, the path is again easier to follow, but only for a short time. The path ahead approaches a clearing which is situated below Storžič and turns left among fallen trees. Again we look for passages among trees. A few meters before the Praprotnikova koča hut we again step onto a marked path along which in a few steps we reach the hut.
