Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice take the exit Lipce (Jesenice East), where you turn right towards Jesenice. At the first semaphored intersection (Slovenski Javornik settlement) turn right (direction Lj. ) towards Koroška Bela, at the next semaphored intersection turn left, and soon turn left again towards Javorniški Rovt (right Koroška Bela). After a few kilometres of uphill driving, when you reach the village, at the second sharp left turn, you will come to the right fork of the macadam road towards the Trilobit house (signposted). Just before this place, there is a small parking lot on the right - our starting point.
Path description:
From the starting point, continue along the macadam for a few metres, then you will see two signposts with the inscriptions Valvazor and Gajškova pot. Here, turn right, but do not follow the signs (right over the bridge), but follow cart track straight uphill. Soon you reach the next bridge, where you cross a stream and the path (track) turns left uphill. Follow the main cart track for another 15 minutes, which means that you ignore all the branches. On the left side of the path you will see the sign "Dom Trilobit" twice.
Afterwards, as the path climbs a little steeper, you will come across the fork cart track, where you turn right (left path to mountain pasture Stamare). Cart track now turns increasingly to the right and climbs first steeply, then briefly, and climbs again slightly towards the flatter part (saddle) between the two Bonclams. Here we continue on cart track past the indistinct east ridge Mala Boncla , which is on our right. The path curves a little and then quickly climbs again, first gently and then steeper. Walk along, or right along, the steep logging trail. Higher up, the path leads to the fork logging trail, where you turn right towards the open part of the forest. When the path is almost level, we see a small passage with a house, but we do not continue to this point, but take a perpendicular right into the forest slope, where we see a path (some remnants of logging trail), which keeps slightly to the right or westwards. After a short, easy climb, you reach the top, or edge, of the southern, partly rocky slope of Velika Boncla, where you come across a worn-out bench. To get a view towards the valley, we have to cross a small valley and a small ridge on the right, and carefully descend to the edge of the heath, where beautiful and interesting views in different directions open up in several places.
