Access to the starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice motorway, take the Podnart (Ljubelj) exit, then continue on the expressway towards Ljubelj and Tržič. When the expressway ends, you will see a petrol station on the right hand side, before which turn right down towards Tržič. Continue through Tržič, and we follow the narrower road towards Dovžana Gorge and then through the villages of Dolina and Jelendol to Medvodje, where we park in the marked parking area at the nearby crossroads.
Path description:
From the parking lot continue along the road to the right in the direction of Storžič, Stegovik and Stegovnik waterfall (left Košutna, Koschutnikturm and mountain pasture Dolga njiva along the marked path), and after a few 10 steps continue straight on (right Stegovnik waterfall). The way ahead leads along a dirt road, which continues along the Tržiška Bistrica, and when you reach the crossroads at the confluence of the Tržiška Bistrica and Fevča, continue along the right-hand road, which continues along the Fevča stream.
Continue along the road for a short distance, but when the road crosses the stream and turns sharp right, leave the road and continue along cart track, which continues along the stream. Climb along the stream for a few minutes and then cart track turns left onto the slopes of Konjski Rob. Higher up, on a less steep slope, cart track gets lost, but with some effort it can be followed. Once back in the dense forest, join the slightly wider logging trail and follow it to the right, and in a few minutes you will reach a dirt road, which you can follow to the left (you can also follow the road to here).
A few steps further on, you reach a small crossroads, where you continue straight ahead on a wider road (Konjski rob on the left), which then crosses the slopes to the left. We cross the slopes of Veliki vrh, with occasional fine views from the road. When the road ends at the turning off Tržiška Bistrica, continue slightly to the right and follow cart track down to the river, cross it, and then continue ascending the steeper cart track. A little further on, go left at a fork, and slightly right at the next fork onto the more grassy cart track (left mountain pasture Spodnja Dolga njiva), which quickly leads to the marked Jezersko - mountain pasture Spodnja Dolga njiva trail. It is only a short walk to the abandoned mountain pasture, which can be reached either by the marked trail or by the cart track.
The description and figures refer to the situation in April 2020.
