Na kopiš - Bela peč (via Spodnja and Zgornja Konjščica)

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana-Jesenice highway, take the Ljubelj (Tržič) exit, then continue driving towards Ljubelj. Just before the gas station in Bistrica pri Tržiču, leave the main road and continue driving right towards Tržič. Then drive through Tržič towards Dolžanova soteska, and in the settlement Slap continue right towards Lom pod Storžičem and Grahovše. On the section between Lom pod Storžičem and Grahovše, a road branches off to the left towards the hamlet Potarje and farms Tič, Hariž, Špan, which all belong to the hamlet Potarje. Continue past the turn-off for farm Hariž (panoramic bend with a bench) towards Tič, on a somewhat narrower asphalt road all the way to the junction below farm Tič, where the asphalt ends. This is our starting point, named "Na kopiš" (Na kopišču), where there is also a signpost and an ecological waste collection point for mountain farms. Park in a suitable place by the junction (to the right a road branches off for farms Tič and Strmc, to the left for farms Pinč and Urh). On the signpost we also notice markings for mountain pasture Konjščica (left for the variant along the macadam road all the way to mountain pasture Sp. Konjščica—see the third variant of access and path description for mountain pasture Spodnja Konjščica: "Na kopiš - Spodnja Konjščica (by road)", which is more suitable for cycling, right for the variant past farm Tič, which follows the road only at the beginning (shorter section), then transitions into a pleasant mountain path through the forest all the way to the viewpoint "Na Boštu", which is just below mountain pasture Konjščica.

Route description:
From the starting point "Na kopiš" to farm Tič the path is not marked, further to mountain pasture Spodnja Konjščica it is, so from the parking lot "Na kopiš" head right onto the road (direction Tič, Strmc) and in 5 minutes of walking along the macadam road arrive just before farm Tič (right, below the access road to farm Tič is farm Strmc, we see both houses).
Here we have two options: continue on the left road (short bypass road for timber removal), which just above the buildings of farm Tič joins the road leading through the farmyard. If continuing on the right road (second option), arrive at the yard of farm Tič, where join the marked path to mountain pasture Konjščica from direction Grahovše (past Uskovec), notice the blazes. Continue through the yard uphill (left vegetable garden, right farm building) to the junction with the bypass macadam road (first option). Continue briefly on the road, then blazes direct slightly left onto the marked footpath. If there is a lot of snow and the trail is not trodden, continue on the road, as the trail above the pasture also returns to the road. Continue along the road through the forest to the next pasture, where a path from farm Pavšel joins from the right. With fine views of the Kriška gora ridge, just a little higher than the mentioned junction arrive at a wooden cabin, where our path along the road ends (area called Na Vršeh).
Here continue slightly left on an initially somewhat more overgrown path, quickly reaching wooden cottage Potarje 44. Continue uphill through the forest, cross the forest road, then first right, then left, where the trail moderately ascends briefly. Due to numerous minor junctions, carefully follow the blazes. Cross a stream, then the trail joins a cart track, above a small clearing the path leads to a forest road. Follow the road left for just a few meters, then blazes and signpost direct right onto an ascending footpath. Ahead the path first ascends the slope somewhat right, then straight up, on the rocky scree turns left and higher returns to the road near viewpoint "Na Boštu" (viewpoint is less than 5 minutes from the marked path). Just below the road, where part of the forest was recently cut, a view opens towards Tržič, Dobrča, Begunjščica and Košuta. Step onto the road and continue right, after about 10 minutes further walking step out of the forest onto mountain pasture Spodnja Konjščica.
The shepherd hut on the mentioned pasture bypass on the left side and continue on the marked path, which gently ascends to the upper edge of the pasture. Here the path enters the forest and ascends more steeply briefly, then turns slightly left and gradually levels out. A little further, exit the forest onto the pastures of expansive mountain pasture Zgornja Konjščica.
In a few short ascents and descents walk to the other part of the pasture, then the path enters the forest, quickly leading to a marked junction. Here continue right (left Koča na Javorniku) towards vantage point Bela peč. The path shortly crosses a wire fence then quickly ascends to the panoramic and sheer summit.
