Povlje - Krničarjeva koča na planini Javornik

Access to the starting point:
a) From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice take the exit Brnik, and when you reach the road Mengeš - Kranj, turn left towards Kranj. Follow the main road towards Kranj to the first roundabout, from where you take the first exit to the right towards Šenčur. Continue on the main road through Šenčur, and when you reach the road Kranj - Zgornje Jezersko, turn right towards Jezersko. When you reach Preddvor, leave the main road and turn left towards the centre of the town, and from there follow the signs for Bašelj. A little beyond Bašelj, the road descends to the Milka stream and crosses it via a bridge. Here, the road first branches off to the right into the village of Babni, Vrt, and then, a good 100 m further on, into the village of Povlje. Continue on the ascending road towards Povlje, and park in a small parking lot above the village. At the starting point there is a small crossroads, several mountain direction signs and a larger information sign for the Trstenik walking and learning trail "the path under Storžič".
b) From the motorway Jesenice - Ljubljana take the exit Kranj West, then continue towards Golnik. When you arrive at Tenetiše, leave the main road towards Golnik and turn right towards Trstenika. Approximately 1km after Trstenik you will reach a small crossroads where you turn left towards Povlje. Continue on the ascending road towards Povlje, and park in a small parking lot above the village. At the starting point there is a small crossroads, several mountain direction signs and a larger information sign for the Trstenik walking and learning trail "the trail under Storžič".

Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the road on the left, and immediately turn slightly right onto the footpath in the direction of Storžič, Kališe, mountain pasture Javornik and Dolenčeva cesta to Velika Poljana. The way forward is first gentle, then climbs moderately through the forest, and soon leads to cart track. The ascent continues on the occasionally steeper cart track, where, due to the numerous forks, we follow the markings carefully, and we leave cart track a few times, as the markings occasionally lead us along the path. For some time we are still walking along the track and alternately cart track, on a slope that has been badly damaged by the weather storm, so there are several large clearings along the way.
Higher up, at a marked crossroads, continue in the direction of Storžič, Kališe and mountain pasture Javornik (after cart track the trail continues to Velika Poljano). From the crossroads onwards the path becomes quite steep, as the already steep old path has become impassable due to numerous fallen trees, then the path turns right and becomes passable. A few minutes' traverse to the right is followed, then out of the wods to reach the south-westerly gully Storžič, along which you climb to a nearby marked crossroads.
From the crossroads, continue left (straight ahead Storžič and Kališe) and cross the view slope to Krničar's hut at mountain pasture Javornik.
