Lom pod Storžičem - Koča na Kriški gori

Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Ljubelj (Tržič), and then we continue driving towards Ljubelj. Just before the gas station in Bistrica pri Tržiču we leave the main road and we continue driving right in the direction of Tržič. Further, we drive through Tržič in the direction of Dolžanova soteska, and then at the end of the town we continue right in the direction of Lom pod Storžičem. When we get to Lom pod Storžičem, we park on a smaller parking lot at the church of St. Katarina Aleksandrijska.

Path description:
From the church, we continue on the road, and after few 10 meters right downwards, on the road on which we quickly descend to yard of the nearby residential house, where almost unnoticeably we cross the stream Lomščica. On the other side of the stream, we ascend on a macadam road which at the nearby football sports field changes into a cart track, and it ascends through a panoramic meadow. When we get by the edge of the forest, cart track turns to the left and only few meters ahead splits into two parts. We choose right, quite a steep cart track, on which we ascend to a mighty torrent ditch. At torrent ditch we continue on the right cart track which in few steps descends to other, less distinct torrent. At other torrent we continue straight in the forest, where we notice a poorly beaten footpath. The footpath, by which we notice some unofficial blazes (red lines, red dots...), at first ascends diagonally towards the right, and then passes on an indistinct ridge. For some time we are steeply ascending on a ridge, then follows a very short descent and a hard to follow path brings us on increasingly steep slopes. Poorly visible, but with some effort all the time relatively easy to follow footpath, continues on steep slopes, which are on many spots dangerous for slipping. With leaves covered and in some parts also wet path soon flattens a little and brings us by the edge of side ridge. Here, if we step on the edge, a nice view opens up towards the valley and surrounding mountains. We continue on the path which ascends a little towards the left and it brings us by the bottom part of the nearby small valley. Here, the footpath turns to the right and again starts ascending over steeper slopes. Higher, the path brings us on a smaller ridge, where gradually flattens. We soon leave mountain pasture Grebenc, because poorly visible footpath turns left on slopes, where crosses slopes towards the left. After a shorter traversing, we step out of the forest on the edge of a meadow, where we notice a hunting observatory and decaying wooden cottage.
Here, the footpath vanishes, and we continue right through the forest, through which we start ascending steeper. Next follows few minutes of ascent on some sort of pathless terrain and "path" brings us on the main ridge of Kriška gora. Here we continue left and with increasingly beautiful views we walk to the nearby mountain hut Koča na Kriški gori.
