Valvasorjev dom pod Stolom - Žirovniška planina

Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we take the exit Lesce and follow the road ahead in the direction of Žirovnica and Jesenice. After a few km of driving, we will get to a crossroads, where the road to Žirovnica and Moste branches off to the right (from the direction of Jesenice left). Only a few meters ahead at the next crossroads, we turn left to Moste (right Žirovnica). Further, we drive past a monument to fallen fighters, where the road starts ascending the hill below the railway track. At the top of the hill we turn right (at the sign Vila Karin), but we continue straight towards Završniško jezero and Valvasorjev dom. The road then flattens and brings us to a crossroads, where the road to Valvasorjev dom branches off to the left. We take the mentioned road (straight Koča pri izviru Završnice), which starts gently at first, then steeper and steeper ascending on an occasionally quite rough road (the steepest parts are asphalted). Higher, the road brings us to a somewhat larger crossroads, where we continue left in the direction of Potoška planina (right Doslovška planina). The road then flattens and a little further brings us to the next crossroads. This time we continue slightly right in the direction of Valvasorjev dom (slightly left Ajdna and Potoška planina) and drive on a steeper road all the way to the mentioned hut. We park on one of the parking lots by the road near the mountain hut, parking in front of the hut is permitted only to guests.
From Poljane (crossroads before Završniško jezero) to Valvasorjev dom is 5 km.

Route description:
From Valvasorjev dom we go right on the footpath in the direction of Stol. The path soon goes into the forest, where it slightly ascends and brings us to a smaller junction, where we continue right. The path then brings us out of the forest, where it crosses slopes below Monštranca. This gentle and partly panoramic path, which a little further crosses a short strip of forest, we follow all the way to Žirovniška planina.

The trip can be extended to the following destinations: Valvasorjev dom pod Stolom, Potoški Stol (2 h 45 min), Weinasch/Vajnež (3 h 10 min), Prešernova koča na Stolu, Hochstuhl/Stol
