Pod Krnico - Planina Zgornja Dolga njiva

Access to the starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice motorway, take the Ljubelj exit. The road then quickly leads us to Tržič, and we continue to follow it in the direction of the villages Jelendol and Medvodje. In the village Medvodje turn left towards Kosuta on the forest road which we follow to the crossroads at Košutna (house) at about 1000m. Here go right and drive to the parking lot of a small quarry.

Path description:
From the parking lot, take the cart track road, which branches off to the left of the road. Cart track goes into the wods and climbs moderately, crossing first a small and then a larger stream. Cart track, which has some shortcuts, makes a few bends and after a good 15 minutes leads to the pastures mountain pasture Lower Long Meadow.
After a short walk along mountain pasture, the path leads us to a crossroads where there are signposts. Bear right in the direction of the Koschutnikturm eastern approach route. After a few dozen steps, the gently sloping path leads to the shepherd's hut at mountain pasture Lower Dolga njiva.
Continue on the mountain pasture up the middle of which is a wide dirt track which, after a good 15-minute walk, leads out of the forest to the mountain pasture Upper Long Meadow.
The steepness of the path, which has been moderate until now, eases and the path soon leads us through a beautiful grassy area to the central part of mountain pasture.
