Zalog - Storžič (via Psica)

Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Jesenice, we take the exit Kranj West and follow the road ahead in the direction of Golnik. Soon after the village Tenetiše, we will notice signs for the village Goriče, which direct us right onto a local road. A little further on, we come to the next crossroads, where we continue right in the direction of the villages Trstenik and Preddvor. We don't follow this road for long either, because after a few meters we will notice the sign with the inscription Zalog, which directs us left onto an ascending road, which we then follow to the mentioned village. In the middle of the village, a little before the church, we will notice a road which turns right from the main road. We turn onto this road, beside which we soon notice blazes. We follow this road for approximately another 1 km, then we park on one of the parking areas by the road.

Path description:
From the starting point we continue along the road beside which we parked, which becomes worse and brings us higher to the NOB monument, where we leave it and continue the ascent right along an ascending cart track. At the spot where the cart track, along which we continue the ascent, turns left, we will notice on the right side a footpath that starts to ascend more steeply through the forest (the beginning is not marked).
The path along which we notice rare blazes then takes us past a small chapel to a poorly marked junction, beside which on a panoramic rise we notice a pleasant bench.
From the viewpoint we continue along the path that ascends slightly right (left Mala Poljana) and goes into the forest after a few steps, where it starts to ascend steeply. The path soon transitions to a wide vegetated ridge, where it continues for quite some time.
A relatively steep path, which higher turns somewhat to the right, brings us after some time to a wide cart track, where we join the path from Povlje.
We continue straight along the ascending cart track, which past the "refreshment point" brings us to the spot where a marked footpath branches off to the left from the cart track. We can continue the ascent along the mentioned footpath, which ascends over grassy slopes, or along the cart track that ascends at the edge of the forest. Both paths join higher and bring us without difficulty to the hut on Velika Poljana.
From the hut we continue along a gentle path that ascends across the pasture and brings us in 5 minutes to the saddle between Grebenc and Psica, where there is also a marked junction. We continue right into the forest along the path towards Storžič via Psica (left Mala Poljana). The path starts to ascend quite steeply, then turns slightly right and the steepness eases somewhat. Such a path soon brings us out of the forest and to a path junction. We turn left onto the path via Psica, right leads an easier path to Storžič.
From the junction the path first runs across grassy terrain beside dwarf pines and sparse trees, then goes back into the forest and starts to ascend steeply. At some spots the path is also somewhat exposed. This is followed by an ascent across a grassy slope beside sparse dwarf pines to a panoramic ridge. We ascend for some time along the increasingly exposed ridge, then reach the indistinct summit of Psica. From the summit we descend slightly, then continue along the exposed ridge. Further on the path along the ridge rises and falls several more times, and some fixed safety gear assists us. Later the path through Žrelo joins from the left, but we continue along the path beside the ridge. In the last part of the path we ascend steeply several more times, with some fixed safety gear for assistance. A little below the summit the easiest path to Storžič joins from the right, which leads across the Javornik pasture. Only a short ascent along the summit slope of Storžič follows, reaching its summit in a few minutes.
Zalog - Velika Poljana 2:00, Velika Poljana - Storžič 2:30.
