Access to the starting point:
Drive to Tržič, then follow the signs for Dovžanovo gorge and Lom pod Storžičem. Before Tržič ends, you reach a crossroads where, near the Lepenka factory, a road branches off to the right, ascending towards the settlement of Lom pod Storžičem. At the crossroads the route described above starts, park in a suitable place nearby.
Path description:
At the crossroads, there are signs for Dom pod Storžičem and Storžič, which direct you to the right on the road towards the settlement of Lom pod Storžič. At first, we walk past a few more houses, and then the mountain footpath signs direct us slightly to the right, to cart track, which continues through the forest. At a few small crossroads, continue left, and the path transitively opens up to a beautiful view of the hamlet of Slap. A little further on, at the chapel, we leave the forest and the path leads us to the village of Lom pod Storžič, where we also reach a narrow asphalt road. Follow the road past a few houses and then descend to the main road, which you follow upwards to the right.
Continue along the asphalt road, from which the road to the Štorman apartments branches off to the left, and a little further on there is a marked path towards Tič and mountain pasture Konjščica. Continue walking along the road, which leads you past the Lom pod Storžič branch primary school, and then past the parish church of St Catherine of Alexandria. With beautiful views, we continue through the village, then at the small NOB memorial we turn right onto a side road, which leads us past a few more houses, and then the asphalt ends. We continue on the macadam for a short distance and then return to the main road, which quickly leads to the village of Grahovše. It is a fairly gradual walk, passing individual houses and following the signs for Dom pod Storžičem at the junctions. At Slaparska vas the asphalt finally ends and the road splits a little further on. Continue slightly to the right (left mountain pasture Javornik, Stegovnik, mountain pasture Konjščica, Bela peč and the tourist farm Rekar). The road towards Dom pod Storžič is still quite sloping for a while, but when it turns into a forest it gradually starts to climb moderately. While walking along the road, the path leads us past a water trough, and a little further on, slightly behind a small sign, the markings for Dom pod Storžičem direct us to the right. Cross the stream, and immediately after the stream turn left onto the footpath, which first climbs steeply through a narrow lane of woodland, and then continues on a mostly moderate climb through Senožeti. During the ascent through Senožeti, we have a nice view of Bela peč and Storžič, and higher up also of Begunjščica and Stol. When leaving Senožeti, you first cross a worse macadam road, and then you get quite close to the macadam road leading to Dom pod Storžič. We continue along the marked trail, which returns to the forest, and we follow it all the way to the Mountain Home under Storžič, which we reach after a few minutes of further walking.
