Access to the starting point:
Take the Tržič, then follow the signs for Dovžanovo gorge, and before the end of Tržič turn right in the direction of Lom pod Storžičem, Grahovše and Doma pod Storžičem. After the settlements the asphalt ends and we follow the dirt road towards Doma pod Storžičem. Higher up, the dirt road becomes unpaved in parts and we follow it to the parking area near the Mountain Home under Storžič.
Path description:
From the parking lot near Dom pod Storžičem, take the road to the left in the direction of Javorniško sedlo, Jezersko, Tič, Rekar and Grahovš. After a few steps, the road splits and we continue slightly right towards Javorniški preval and gradually begin a moderate climb.
Higher up, when the road turns into cart track, we leave it and continue to the right along the marked path, which starts to climb steeply, and by Javorniški preval it crosses cart track twice more, which is also a possible way to reach the Javorníšek Preval. After about 1 hour's walk, you will reach the above-mentioned pass, where there is a signpost and a registration box and where several paths cross.
Continue slightly right in the direction of Kališča and Jezersko (left mountain pasture Javornik, slightly left Močnikovo sedlo, right Storžič), initially crossing the slopes of Škarjeva peč, but quickly beginning to descend crosswise. After crossing the torrent, the path splits, and we take the right path (the left path descends towards Jezersko), which continues to cross the slopes. We gradually reach steeper slopes, which are dangerous for slipping, especially in wet conditions, due to the poorer trail. There are a few more passages over ravines, where extra caution is needed, and when you leave the forest the slope becomes less steep and turns into a gently sloping scree slope. After the scree, we gradually start to climb, and after crossing a short slightly exposed rocky part, the path becomes very steep for a short time and leads us between bushes and dwarf pines. When the steepness subsides, there is a few minutes of traverse to the left and we join the path from Jezersko.
Continue right and follow the torrential gully up the maintained path to Bašeljski preval, from where a fine view opens up to the south.
Continue left towards Kišče (Storžič on the right), leaving the path towards Kišče a few steps before the bench and continuing left on the path, which usually has a cairn sign next to it. Through a short lane of dwarf pines the path leads into a grassy sandy world where the path is temporarily lost, but at the upper part of the mentioned part the path reappears and leads through dwarf pines. A few minutes of steep climbing follow, and when you reach the ridge you join the trail from Kališča. Go right here and in a few 10 steps of scenic walking you will reach a bench and a registration box on Bašeljski vrh.
