Access to the starting point:
Leave the Gorenjska motorway at the Podtabor exit and follow the road towards Ljubelj. Take the exit for Tržič, past a settlement of newer houses, and then shortly after a small underpass, take the first exit to the right, where you take a sharp right and drive to the nearby Mikro S company, where the route described above begins.
When turning back towards the motorway, the route along the main road is a mandatory right turn, so you have to go to Podljubelj, but a better option is to go over the overpass, turn right after the overpass, and then before the centre of Podljubelj, turn sharp right onto the main road towards the motorway. Alternatively, you can return via Tržič.
Path description:
From the parking lot next to Mikro S, descend slightly in the direction of Tržič, and at the nearby crossroads, take a sharp right and climb up to the overpass over which you cross over to the other side of the main road. On the other side of the overpass, go left onto the dirt road (right Podljubelj), where you pass Kramar's fold, and a little further on the road splits, and we choose the upper right road (the lower road leads to Kajžer's fold), which just a little further on passes into the forest and starts to climb crosswise. Higher up, we reach a crossroads where we continue sharp right (if we continue straight ahead, we join the marked path from Tržič a little further on).
From the crossroads onwards there is a cross-climb to the right, and we occasionally get a nice view in the direction of Košuta and towards Storžič, and higher up also the Kočna massif. After a while, the road leads us to a hunting observation post, where we continue sharp left from the crossroads (the road leads straight towards Peče). The way ahead leads us under a small scree slope, and we walk along it to a wooden cottage, where it turns into an initially wide cart track.
Here we go right, and from the left we join the marked path from Tržič, which soon leaves the cart track. Continue along cart track, where you go left at a small crossroads, and when the marked path rejoins, go right.
From here onwards we are accompanied by markings, we continue to climb moderately for a short time, and then gradually start to descend and quickly reach a forest road, which we follow to the right. There is a steady walk along the edge of Bistriška planina, and when you reach the Brezje pri Tržiču - Bistriška planina road, bear right. There is a slight climb and at an unmaintained parking lot continue right on mountain pasture, over which you climb to the pasture at Bistriška mountain pasture.
