Zalog - Mala Poljana

Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice take the exit Kranj West and follow the road towards Golnik. Shortly after the village Tenetiše, you will see signs for the village of Goriče, which will direct you to the right on the local road. Just a little further on, you will come to the next crossroads, where you will continue to the right in the direction of the village Trstenik and Preddvor. We do not follow this road for long either, because after a few metres we will notice a sign with the inscription Zalog, which directs us to the left on the ascending road, which we then follow to the mentioned village. In the middle of the village, a little before the church, you will notice a road that turns right from the main road. Follow this road and you will soon see signs along it. Follow this road for about 1km, then park in one of the roadside car parks.

Path description:
From the starting point we continue along the road along which we parked, but it is getting worse and it leads us higher to the NOB monument, where we leave it and continue the climb right along the climbing cart track. At the point where the cart track, which we continue to climb, turns left, we will see a path on the right which starts to climb steeply through the forest (the start is not marked).
The path, along which you will notice rare markings, then leads past a small chapel to a less well-marked crossroads, at which you will notice a pleasant bench on a lookout.
Continue slightly left in the route Mala Poljana (the direction sign is slightly further from the crossroads) along the path which, after a few further steps, leads us into a woded valley. The path, which is less and less visible, continues to climb up the valley, which becomes narrower and narrower and gradually turns into a ravine. The ascent continues along a barely visible path which climbs between two steep slopes. The path, which is mainly covered with foliage and is exposed to falling stones in some parts, leads us higher up to the initially quite rugged cart track, which leads out of the forest in a few minutes to the lower part of Mala Poljana. Cart track, after which we continue our climb, leads us after a few minutes of further walking to a hunting hut on Mala Poljana.

We can extend the trip to the following destinations: Velika Poljana ( 15 min), Dom na Kališču, Tolsti vrh (1 h), Storžič
