Planina Vetrh - Planina Javornik

Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Tržič, and then we continue driving towards Dovžanova soteska gorge. Towards the end of Tržič we leave the road towards Dovžanova soteska gorge and we continue driving right in the direction of Lom pod Storžičem. Above Lom pod Storžičem, at the right hairpin turn we leave the main road which leads higher towards Grahovše and Dom pod Storžičem and we continue driving left in the direction of the settlement Potarje. On the asphalt road, we drive to a crossroad below the tourist farm pr Tič, where we continue left towards the mountain pasture Konjščica. Next follows driving on a macadam road, from which soon a road towards the farm Pinč branches off to the left. Here we go right on the upper road which becomes considerably worse, and we drive for quite some time to the next crossroad. From the crossroad, we continue straight on the lower road (right upward mountain pasture Konjščica), which a little ahead crosses the stream Vetrnik. At the next crossroad, we go left, and after 50 meters we park on a marked parking lot by the edge of the mountain pasture Planina Vetrh. From the crossroad at factory Lepenka in Tržič to the starting point, there is approximately 11 km, of this 6 km macadam.
B) First, we drive to Tržič, and then we continue driving towards Dovžanova soteska gorge. Further, we drive through Dovžanova soteska gorge, Dolina, to Jelendol, where at the triangular crossroad we continue on the right road towards Medvodje. A few kilometers ahead a road towards the mountain pasture Zali potok branches off to the left, and along Tržiška Bistrica we drive for some time, more precisely to the first road to the right, which over a bridge crosses Tržiška Bistrica. After the bridge, we start ascending on a worse macadam road which is on some parts often in quite bad condition. At the crossroads, we continue straight, and when the road flattens we quickly arrive at a marked parking lot on the periphery of the mountain pasture Planina Vetrh, where we park. From the crossroad at factory Lepenka in Tržič to the starting point, there is approximately 12.5 km, of this 3.7 km very bad macadam road, and some more macadam.

Route description:
On the eastern side of the parking lot, we notice a cart track that ascends through the forest to the nearby forest road, which we follow to the left. On the road, we quickly arrive at the right hairpin turn, from which a nice view opens up towards Košuta, Plešivec and surrounding mountains. Further on, first between trees we still get some views, then the path enters a quite dense forest, through which it ascends on the western slopes of Pečica (1421 m) and later Maljevec (1502 m). On the slopes of Maljevec we do not walk long, because the road brings us into the small valley of the stream Vetrnik. Over a bridge the road quickly passes to the left bank of the stream, and then for a few minutes we ascend directly beside the stream. When higher the road once again crosses the stream (this time without a bridge), we leave it and before crossing the stream we continue right on a wider cart track, which begins to ascend through the forest. At the fork of cart tracks we continue slightly left, then a few minutes higher we return to the macadam road, which we follow to the right.
While walking on the road, we quickly arrive at a marked junction, from which we continue straight in the direction of the mountain pasture Planina Javornik (right Bela peč, mountain pasture Konjščica and cottage pr Zdravc). From the junction, we continue on a cart track, then through a strip of forest we ascend to the mountain pasture Javornik, which we reach after a few minutes of further walking.

The trip can be extended to the following destinations: Cottage Pr Zdravc, Bela peč, Stegovnik, Veliki Javornik (Ženiklovec) ( 30 min), Storžič (2 h 20 min)
