Jezerski vrh - Kärntner Storschitz / Pristovški Storžič (Krainersteig)

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana–Jesenice motorway, take the Kranj–east exit and follow the road ahead in the direction of Jezersko. From Zgornje Jezersko, we continue driving towards Austria along it to the Jezerski vrh border crossing, where we park on a marked parking lot on the Slovenian or Austrian side.

Path description:
On the Austrian side of the border crossing, we notice yellow hiking signposts, which direct us to a footpath that leads along the national border. The marked path soon joins a mountain road, which gradually turns to the right and brings us in a gentle ascent to a smaller mountain pasture, on which stands a hunting cottage.
At the hunting cottage, we leave the poorer mountain road and head left in the direction of Kranjska pot to Pristovški Storžič (on the sign »Storschitz Krainersteig«). The path that continues along the road leads via a less demanding and somewhat longer route to Pristovški Storžič.
The path from the mountain pasture ahead ascends through a meadow and soon brings us into the forest, where higher it crosses a mountain road, and when we then step on the road again, we follow it to the left. We then leave the road and head right onto an indistinct ridge, along which we ascend on a grassy slope at the edge of the forest. The increasingly steep path leads us along quite steep eastern slopes, where some steel cables also assist us. A steep ascent along the steel cable follows, which brings us with ever more beautiful views to the western slopes of Pristovški Storžič, which are overgrown with dwarf pines. The path then turns back towards the ridge and ascends along the next steel cable. When we reach the ridge, only a few steps of walking separate us from the panoramic summit.
