Jezerski vrh - Kärntner Storschitz / Pristovški Storžič (Krainersteig)

Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice take the exit Kranj - East and follow the road towards Jezersko. From Zgornje Jezersko, continue towards Austria, and follow the road to the Jezerski vrh border crossing, where you can park in a marked parking lot on the Slovenian or Austrian side.

Path description:
On the Austrian side of the border crossing, you will see yellow mountain direction signs directing you to a path along the national border. The marked trail soon joins a mountain road which gradually curves to the right and leads up a slight incline to a small mountain pasture, on which stands a hunting lodge.
At the hunting lodge, leave the worse mountain road and turn left in the direction of the Kranjska cesta to Kärntner Storschitz (signposted "Storschitz Krainersteig"). The path that continues along the road leads along a less demanding and slightly longer path to Pristovški Storžič.
The path from mountain pasture onwards climbs over a meadow and soon leads us into the forest, where it crosses a mountain road at a higher level, and then, when you rejoin the road, follow it to the left. Leave the road and turn right onto an undistinguished ridge, climbing up a grassy slope at the edge of the forest. The increasingly steep path leads us along the fairly steep eastern slopes, where we are also helped by a few steel cables. A steep climb along a steel cable follows, which, with increasingly fine views, leads us to the western slopes of Kärntner Storschitz, which are covered with dwarf pines. The path then turns back towards the ridge and climbs up along the next cliff. Once you reach the ridge, it is only a short walk to the summit.
