Koroška Bela - Dom Pristava v Javorniškem Rovtu (Gajškova pot)

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice highway, we take the Lipce exit and drive right towards Jesenice. At the first traffic-light intersection (Javornik), we drive right in the direction of Lj. Then comes the second intersection with traffic lights, where we turn left and drive under the railway underpass, and at the next smaller intersection we head right towards Koroška Bela. We drive past the last bus stop (store on the left) into the village. We find the intersection in the center of the village, where a church marker stands. From here, we follow the main road through the village, which goes barely noticeably uphill towards the northeast. After approx. 100 m, on the right we notice a bridge, but we drive straight for another 50 m, where we come to a left road branch. We take it, and in the uphill we cross another (Koroška) street and continue (church lower on the left) all the way to the spot outside the settlement, where we come to abandoned tennis courts (RC Kres).

Route description:
From the starting point, we head along the right path (cart track) uphill, where we come to the blazes. At the second right bend, we notice the barrier (quarry), but we continue along the hill, towards the forest, past the abandoned quarry on the left. The path soon takes us into the forest, where it runs almost level at first straight ahead, later starting to wind. When we reach a junction, we notice a direction sign on a tree that directs us left downhill towards the gully with a streamlet. Here we come to a large pile of landslide debris, before which we cross the mentioned streamlet and turn left uphill, where the path becomes somewhat narrower. For a while we walk through mixed, partly sparser forest, and we also cross another gully with a streamlet. When we find ourselves in a wider forest area (no longer on the slope), the blazes direct us right uphill, where the path seemingly disappears. Towards the "top" of this mentioned ascent, we spot the path, and the marks direct us left, where the path soon levels out and then also descends to the third streamlet, which we cross. Soon the forest area opens up somewhat, and from the left an ascending cart track joins us (on the right a smaller highly fenced hollow). We continue in the same direction, uphill along the cart track. When it starts turning right, we continue along another, somewhat narrower one, leading straight ahead. After a while, a path from Valvazorja joins from the right, and ours levels out or even descends slightly. When the level path starts turning right after some time, we branch off from it onto a trail on the left, which takes us to the bank of the Javornik stream, where after a short descent we cross the mentioned stream over a wooden bridge. We turn left and soon step onto a forest road that leads from Dom Trilobit towards the intersection with the asphalt road. Here we follow it right uphill to the right bend, after which on the left side of the road we notice a marked path leading into the forest. We take it and after a short time cross a forest road, from where we climb another few 10 m uphill towards the asphalt road. When we cross the latter, we ascend somewhat to the left across a meadow to Dom Pristava v Javorniškem Rovtu.
