Tržiški graben - Planina Javornik

Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice take the exit Kranj - East and follow the road towards Jezersko. Before you reach Zgornje Jezersko, or more precisely just after the Kanonir Inn, leave the main road and turn left onto the local road, which begins to climb moderately along the Reka stream. Soon we reach a small crossroads where the road to Kozji vrh turns sharply uphill to the left, and we continue on the wider road, which we follow to the next crossroads. Here we continue left towards Storžič (right Stegovnik) and continue climbing along the stream. Higher up, in the middle of a sharp right turn in a straight direction, a footpath branches off towards Storžič and Kišče, and we follow the road for a while, or more precisely to the place where we will see a mountain direction sign with the inscription Javorniški preval 2h 10 min. Here we park in a suitable place along the road.
The road is CLOSED from 20. 7. to 20. 10. When the road is closed we park lower down, but this prolongs the climb by less than an hour.

Path description:
From the starting point, follow the steep footpath towards Javorníšek Preval. After a few minutes of ascent, the path is laid and gradually leads to the tractor track logging trail, which crosses the slopes to the right. Just after logging trail crosses a wide torrential ravine, we leave it and continue our ascent slightly leftwards on an initially parallel mountain path. The path climbs steeply for some time, then turns to the right where it crosses a slightly steeper ravine. On the other side of the ravine, the path lies down and crosses the slopes to the right in a moderate ascent. During the crossing, the path from Bašeljski preval joins us from the left, and we follow the crossing path to the crossroads at Javorniški preval, where there is also a registration box of the Viharnik Mountain Society.
Here we continue to the right (sharp left Storžič, left Dom pod Storžičem) where after a few 10 steps we arrive at the next crossroads. The right path leads to Močnikovo sedlo, and we continue on the left path in the route mountain pasture Javornik. The trail continues along the wide and gently sloping cart track, which crosses the slopes to the north-west for a while. After a few minutes, the forest thins out and the increasingly scenic route leads us to mountain pasture Javornik, from which we have a fine view.
