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 Slap in the direction of Lom pod Storžičem and Grahovš. At the part between Lom pod Storžič and Grahovše, the road turns left towards the hamlet Potarje and the farms Tič, Hariž, Špan, all of which belong to the hamlet Potarje. Continue past the turn-off for the Hariž farm (a viewpoint with a bench) in the direction of Tič, along a slightly narrower asphalt road until the crossroads below the Tič farm, where the asphalt ends. This is our starting point, called "Na kopiš" (On the kopišče), where there is also a signpost and an ecological island for waste from mountain farms. Park in a suitable place at the crossroads (to the right is the road for the farms Tič and Strmc, to the left the road for the farms Pinč and Urh). On the signpost there are also signs for mountain pasture Konjščica (on the left for a variant of the access along the macadam road up to mountain pasture Sp. Konjščica-see third access option and route description for mountain pasture Spodnja Konjščica: "Na kopiš - mountain pasture Lower Konjščica (by road), which is more suitable for cycling, and to the right for the variant past the Tič farm, which is by road only at the beginning, a small part, and then turns into a pleasant mountain path through the forest all the way to the "Na Bošt" lookout point, which is just below the mountain pasture Konjščica.
Path description:
From the starting point "Na kopiš" to the farm Tič the path is not marked, further to mountain pasture Spodnja Konjščica is, so from the parking lot "Na kopiš" turn to the right road (direction Tič, Strmc) and in 5 minutes walk on the macadam road you will arrive just in front of the farm pr Tič (on the right, under the access road for the farm Tič there is the farm Strmc, you can see both houses).
Here you have two options: you can continue along the road on the left (a short bypass road for the wood collection), which just above the Tič farm buildings merges with the road leading through the farm yard. If you continue on the right road (the second option), you will reach the yard of the Tič farm, where you will join the marked path to mountain pasture Konjščica from the route Grahovše (past Uskovec), notice the markings. Continue across the courtyard uphill (vegetable garden on the left, outbuildings on the right) to the junction with the bypass dirt road (first option). Continue along the road for a short distance and then the signs direct you slightly left onto a waymarked footpath. If there is a lot of snow and the track is not gravelled, you can continue on the road, as the track above the pasture also returns to the road. Continue along the road through the forest to the next pasture, where the path from Pavšel Farm joins from the right. With beautiful views of the ridge of the Kriška Gora mountains, just a little higher than the above-mentioned crossroads, we arrive at a wooden log cabin, where our route along the road ends (the area is called Vrše).
Here we continue slightly to the left along an initially slightly more overgrown path, which quickly leads us to a wooden hut, Potarje 44. Continue uphill, through the forest, cross a forest road, then continue first right and then left, where the track climbs moderately for a short distance. Due to the many small forks, follow the markings carefully. Cross a small stream, then the path joins a track, and above a small clearing the path leads to a forest road. Follow the road to the left and walk along it for only a few metres, as the markings and direction sign then direct you to the right onto the ascending footpath. The path first climbs up the slope slightly to the right, then straight up, turns left at a rocky avalanche and returns to the road higher up in the immediate vicinity of the "Na Boštu" lookout point (the lookout point is less than 5 minutes from the marked path). Just below the road, where part of the forest has recently been cut down, a view opens up towards Tržič, Dobrča, Begunjščica and Košuta. Once on the road, turn right and after about 10 minutes of further walking, you will emerge from the forest at mountain pasture Spodnja Konjščica.
Bypass the shepherd's hut on the mountain pasture on the left and continue along the marked path which climbs steeply to the upper edge of the mountain pasture. Here the path enters the woods and climbs steeply for a short distance before turning slightly to the left and gradually flattening out. Just a little further on, you come out of the forest, where you enter the pastures of the vast mountain pasture Zgornja Konjščica.
