Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice take the exit Lipce, where you turn right towards Jesenice. In the Slovenski Javornik settlement, at the junction with the traffic light, turn left towards the town centre. At the second traffic lights (by the gymnasium) turn right, back towards Tomšičeva cesta, passing the primary school on the left. Drive for another 2. 5 km to the end of Tomšičeva Street, or to where the last bus stop is located at the bottom of the incline by the railway line. Here is a large parking lot, or our starting point.
Path description:
From the parking lot, follow the tarmac road uphill, where just below the summit you will see a track on your left, which you can take and turn left, passing the gardens on your left. Immediately you come into the vicinity of the residential buildings on your left, where you cross the short cart track (leading to the nearby water reservoir on your right). The track now climbs slightly towards the power line, which you quickly reach. Here turn right uphill to the east along a dirt track.
Son reach another power line, where the path turns left into a short copse (in the summer time you come across a wire fence), after which you enter an east-west (hunting) track. Turn left (west) across a pasture, at the end of which you see a small bench, and we continue right here, steeper uphill. Son the steepness eases, and the path turns left towards an exposed rocky "baba", where we can enjoy the view.
Continue into the deciduous forest (heading west), where the path crossing the slope first descends slightly and then leads to a forest levelling. Here, among the ferns, you come to the edge of the ferns, where there is a small crossroads. Continue right along the edge, and after about 40 m you will come to another crossroads (left fork), where you continue straight uphill. Initially a wider forest path, it soon turns right and narrows. It continues up the forest slope in switchbacks. After a while, at the top of the eastern ridge of Jelenkamn, the trail flattens out a bit and continues straight uphill to the north. Son (at a fallen tree) the path turns sharp left, where it first crosses a slightly steeper slope, and then leads to a partially open place, where we are offered a view of the Julian Mountains, and the main lookout point of Jelenkamn, which lies just 100 m below its summit. Here the path turns right, steeply uphill (take care when descending in the wet!), but it doesn't take long. As the path lays down and points slightly to the left, you will notice various markings on the trees. Son the path climbs up the eastern slope in a NW slope for the last time towards the top of Jelenkamn. After a few minutes, when we reach the top, we turn left (right Pristava), and along the forest ridge we soon arrive at our destination, where the view opens up towards the Ljubljana basin, Jesenice, Karawanks, Ratitovec and Mežakla.

Danes sem bil prvič na tej poti,pa še to čisto po naključju.. šel sem iz Trebeža,ampak na odcepu kjer se gre levo na "pot po pomolih" sem šel desno po neoznačem kolovozu. Pot gre rahlo strmo mimo ene planine in naprej po krajši dolinici,na koncu te pa opazim neko potko ki pride po grebenu,verjetno ta iz Straže. Nadaljujem naprej gor in opazim to opisano pot in sem šel povratek preko planine Dole,tam je pot dol proti Kalvariji malo pomrznjena
