Access to the starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice motorway, take the Ljubelj exit (Tržič) and then continue towards Ljubelj. Just before the petrol station in Bistrica pri Tržiču, leave the main road and turn right towards Tržiča. Continue through Tržič in the direction of Dolžanove gorge, then turn right at the end of the town in the direction of Lom pod Storžičem and Grahovš. At the end of the village Grahovše the asphalt ends and we continue on the dirt road in the direction of Doma pod Storžičem. Follow the steeper dirt road in the upper part of the road to the parking lot near the Doma pod Storžičem.
Path description:
From the parking lot near Dom pod Storžičem continue on the road to the left in the direction of Javorniško sedlo, mountain pasture Javornik, Jezersko, Pavšlo, Tič, Tržič and the NOB monument. After a few metres of walking, the road splits into two parts, and we choose the lower left road, which leads towards the nearby NOB monument and Tržič (slightly to the right Javorniško sedlo). From the road on which we continue our journey, a short path soon branches off to the left, leading to the nearby monument, and we continue on the road that crosses the slopes to the left. After a few minutes we arrive at the next crossroads, where we again take the lower left road (slightly to the right is another path leading to Javorniško sedlo). Just a little further on, more precisely at the old hayloft, the road changes to cart track, and only this one starts to climb moderately. After a short climb, we reach another hayfield with a hayloft, the path from which we get a nice view of Storžič, and after a few metres of further walking, it turns to the right and leads us to a marked crossroads. At the crossroads we continue straight on in the direction of Bela peč (to the left Tič and Lom pod Storžič), and we continue to climb up to a small pass, where cart track is laid and leads us only a few 10 metres further to an overgrown clearing. At the clearing, the marked path leaves the cart track and continues right over a short overgrown slope (the branch is not marked, but there are clearly visible markings on the trees). After a few steps, you rejoin the well-traced path, which begins to climb crossways over steep slopes. Cross a short avalanche slope, where a little more caution is needed, especially in wet conditions, and then cross a gully and climb up the other side to the nearby cart track. There is a relatively steep climb up cart track, which gives a good view, and then join another cart track, which takes you down to a dirt road a few minutes away.
Once on the road, follow it to the right, and we follow it up to the nearby Gaberčev rovt (Gabrčov rot), which is only a short distance from the road. From here we walk along the road for a few minutes, then leave it at a left turn and continue straight into the forest to the marked cart track. Cart track, which initially continues along a small stream, soon turns into a footpath, which begins to climb steeply through the forest. Higher up, the path turns into a torrential ravine, and we climb up and along it to a dirt road.
When you reach the road, continue left (right mountain pasture Javornik), then walk past the memorial in a few 10 steps to the Pr Zdravc hut.
From the hut, continue along the road for a short distance, but at a small pass, where the road starts to descend, leave it and continue right in the direction of Bela Peća. The ascent follows along a wooded ridge, from which we occasionally open up some views to the left, where there are steep slopes below us, and to the right, where the view is blocked by dense forest, the slope is less steep. Higher up, the marked path turns left off the ridge, and we leave it at this point and continue straight ahead, reaching cart track just a minute higher up the ridge, after which we continue our ascent. A few minutes higher, cart track splits, and we continue slightly left on the noticeably worse cart track, which soon starts to disappear. After an easier pothole, continue to a small saddle, where you continue right towards the main summit. The ascent continues along an initially unmarked ridge, and we follow the ridge "path" all the way to the partly vegetated summit, where there is a registration box.
