Tržiški graben - Planina Javornik

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana-Jesenice motorway, take the Kranj-east exit and follow the road towards Jezersko. Before reaching Zgornje Jezersko, or more precisely right after the Kanonir inn, leave the main road and continue left onto the local road, which begins to climb moderately along the Reka stream. Soon we reach a small intersection, where a road branches steeply uphill to the left towards Kozji vrh, but we continue along the wider road, following it to the next intersection. Here, continue left towards Storžič (right Stegovnik) and continue ascending along the stream. Higher up, in the middle of a sharp right bend, a footpath branches straight ahead towards Storžič and Kališče, but we follow the road for a little longer, or more precisely to the spot where we will notice the mountaineering direction sign reading Javorniški preval 2h 10 min. Park here at a suitable spot by the road.
The road is CLOSED from 20.7. to 20.10. When the road is closed, park lower down, which extends the ascent by almost an hour.

Route description:
From the starting point, head onto the steep hiking trail towards Javorniški preval. After a few minutes of ascent, the path levels out and gradually brings us to a tractor track, along which we cross the slopes to the right. Just after the track crosses a wide torrent gully, we leave it and continue the ascent slightly left onto an initially parallel mountaineering path. The path ahead ascends steeply for some time, then turns right, crossing a somewhat steeper gully. On the other side of the gully, the path levels out and crosses the slopes to the right in a moderate ascent. During the crossing, the path from Bašeljski preval joins us from the left, and we follow the traverse path to the junction at Javorniški preval, where there is also the logbook box of the Viharnik mountaineering society.
Here, continue right (sharply left Storžič, left Dom pod Storžičem) where after about 10 steps we reach the next junction. The right path leads towards Močnikovo sedlo, but we continue along the left path towards planina Javornik. The path continues along a wide and gentle cart track that crosses the slopes towards the northwest for a while. After a few minutes, the forest thins out and the increasingly panoramic path leads us to planina Javornik, from which a beautiful view opens up.
