Access to the starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice motorway, take the Ljubelj (Tržič) exit, and then turn right into Tržič just before the petrol station at Bistrica near Tržič. Continue through Tržič in the direction of Dolžanove gorge, then just before the end of the town turn right up towards the villages of Čadovlje, Lom and Grahovše. Follow the signs for Dom pod Storžičem up the ascending road at the junctions, and we follow it to a large marked parking lot by the quarry in Grahovše.
Path description:
At the beginning of the parking lot, signs for Konjščica direct you left onto a narrower ascending road. The road soon climbs above the village, and then, partly through the forest and partly with views of the ridge of the Kriška Gora mountains, it leads to the Uskovnik farm, where the road ends. Here we continue between the houses, along a path that goes into the forest and then climbs crosswise over a stream. A little higher up, we cross the stream, and then the marked path turns left and leads us out of the forest onto a hayfield. Here we climb past a dilapidated wooden hut, above which we enter a steep forest road. Cross the road and continue your ascent towards the Tič homestead. Just 10 m higher, the marked path from Lom pod Storžičem joins us from the left, and we continue straight ahead and reach the farm at Tič in just over 10 minutes of further walking.
Here we continue to the right and continue along the road for a short distance, then the signs direct us slightly to the left onto a marked footpath which returns to the road just a little higher up. Continue along the road for a while, where a path from the farm Pavšel joins us from the right. With beautiful views of the ridge of Kriška Gora, just a little higher from the crossroads, you reach a wooden log cabin where the road ends (the area is called Vrše).
Here, continue slightly to the left along an initially slightly more overgrown path, which quickly leads to a hunting lodge. Continue through the forest and, due to the many small crossroads, follow the signs carefully. The moderately steep path climbs steeply for a short time higher up and leads to a forest road just a little higher up. Follow the road to the left, and we walk along it for only a few metres, as the markings and direction sign then direct us to the right onto the ascending footpath. The path continues up the slope straight ahead, then turns left and returns to the road higher up, in the immediate vicinity of the "Na Bošt" lookout point (the lookout point is less than 5 minutes from the marked path). Once on the road, turn right and after about 10 minutes of further walking you will emerge from the forest at mountain pasture Lower Konjščica.
