Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Lipce and we drive right towards Jesenice. At the first traffic light crossroad (Javornik) we drive right in the direction of Lj. Next follows the second crossroad with traffic lights, where we turn left and drive below the railway underpass, and in the next smaller crossroad we go right towards Koroška Bela. We drive past last bus stop (store on the left) in the village. We look for crossroad in the center of the village, where there stands a church memorial. From here we go on the main road through the village, which goes barely noticeably uphill towards the northeast. After approx 100 meters, on the right we notice bridge, but we drive straight for additional 50 meters, where we run into the left turn-off of the road. We go there, and in uphill we cross one more (Koroška ulica) street and we continue (church lower on the left) all the way to the spot outside of the settlement, where we run into abandoned tennis court (RC Kres).
Path description:
From the starting point, we go on the right path (cart track) uphill, where we run into blazes. At the second right turn we notice the gate (quarry), and we continue by the hill, towards the forest, past the abandoned quarry on the left. The path soon brings us into the forest, where it runs gently at first straight, and later it starts winding. When we come to a crossing, on a tree we notice a signpost, which points us left downwards towards the gully with a stream. Here we run into a large pile of remains of the landslide, in front of which we cross the mentioned stream and we turn left uphill, where the path becomes a little narrower. We for some time walk through mixed, partly thinner forest, and we cross one more gully with a stream. When we find ourselves in wider area of the forest (not on the slope), blazes point us to the right uphill, where the path almost vanishes. Towards the top of this ascent we notice the path, and the signs point us to the left, where the path soon flattens and then also descends towards the third small stream, which we cross. Soon forest space opens a little, and from the left joins an ascending cart track (on the right there is a fenced smaller meadow). We continue in the same direction, uphill on a cart track. When it starts turning right, we continue on another, a little narrower cart track which leads in the direction of straight. Eventually from the right side joins the path from the mountain hut Valvasorjev dom, and our flattens or even descends a little. When for some time a flat path starts turning to the right, we branch off on a footpath on the left, which brings us towards the bank of the stream Javornik, where after a short descent over a wooden bridge we cross the mentioned stream. We turn left and we soon step on the forest road which comes from the mountain hut Dom Trilobit towards the crossroad with an asphalt road. Here we go right uphill and we follow the road to the right turn, after which on the left side of the road, we notice a marked path, which goes into the forest. We go there and already after a short time we cross the forest road, from where we ascend few more 10 meters uphill towards the asphalt road. When we cross the latter, a little to the left, through a meadow we ascend to the mountain hut Dom Pristava v Javorniškem Rovtu.
