Planina Vetrh - Planina Javornik

Access to starting point:
a) First, we drive to Tržič, then continue driving towards Dovžanova soteska. Towards the end of Tržič, we leave the road to Dovžanova soteska and continue right towards Lom pod Storžičem. Above Lom pod Storžičem, at the right serpentine, we leave the main road leading higher towards Grahovšam and Dom pod Storžičem and continue left towards the settlement of Potarje. We drive along the asphalt road to the intersection below the tourist farm pri Tič, where we continue left towards planina Konjščica. Driving on the gravel road follows, from which a road soon branches left to the Pinč farm. Here we go right along the upper road, which becomes noticeably worse; we drive along it for quite some time to the next intersection. From the intersection, we continue straight along the lower road (right uphill to planina Konjščica), which shortly crosses the Vetrnik stream. At the next intersection, we go left, then after 50 metres park at the marked parking lot on the edge of planina Vetrh. From the intersection at the Lepenka factory in Tržič to the starting point is approximately 11 km, of which 6 km gravel.
b) First, we drive to Tržič, then continue driving towards Dovžanova soteska. We then drive through Dovžanova soteska, Dolina, to Jelendol, where at the triangular intersection we continue along the right road towards Medvodje. A few kilometres further, a road branches left towards planina Zali potok, while we continue along Tržiška Bistrica for some time, specifically to the first access road to the right, which crosses Tržiška Bistrica over a bridge. After the bridge, we begin ascending along a poorer gravel road, which is often in quite poor condition in places. At intersections we continue straight, then, when the road levels out, we quickly reach the marked parking lot on the edge of planina Vetrh, where we park. From the intersection at the Lepenka factory in Tržič to the starting point is approximately 12.5 km, of which 3.7 km very poor gravel road, and there is even more gravel.

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. Along the road we quickly reach the right serpentine, from which a nice view opens towards Košuta, Plešivec and the surrounding mountains. Continuing, we first get some more views between the trees, then the path enters a fairly dense forest, through which it ascends along the western slopes of Pečica (1421 m) and later Maljevec (1502 m). We do not walk along the slopes of Maljevec for long, as the road brings us to the valley of the Vetrnik stream. Over the bridge the road quickly passes to the left bank of the stream, then we ascend for a few minutes directly along the stream. When higher the road crosses the stream again (this time without a bridge), we leave it and before crossing the stream continue right onto a wider cart track that 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 gravel road, which we follow to the right.
While walking along the road we quickly reach a marked junction, from which we continue straight towards Planina Javornik (right Bela peč, Planina Konjščica and koča pri Zdravc).
From the junction we continue along the cart track, then ascend through a belt of forest to Planina Javornik, which we reach after a few minutes of further walking.
