We drive to Tržič, where we park in one of the car parks in the city. The best place to park is at the cemetery next to the parish church.
Path description:
From Tržič you have to walk along the pavement along the main road to the village of Slap, where the road to Lom pod Storžičem (straight ahead Dolžanova s Gorge) turns right at the house "Pr Molinet". Turn towards Lom and just above the farm "Pr Travnarju", which you can see on the left, you will see a sign pointing to cart track, which leads "over the Globel" and leads to the new part of Lom under Storžič and then the part of Lom under Storžič, which the locals call "Kačja vas". Go past all the houses and descend to the bridge over the Lomščica stream, continue along the main road for a few tens of metres, and then the marked path at the bend below the Lom pod Storžičem Primary School branches off to the left, onto a narrow asphalt road for about 200 m, and then onto a macadam road which leads to the Potarje hamlet. Continue uphill, past the houses, cross the pasture, cross the road behind the Tič farm (there is a signpost for the marked path to the Tič farm) and by the buildings of the Odričar farm, Potarje 12, which can be seen on the left, continue slightly right and then follow cart track, cross the forest road, continue on the path uphill, across an overgrown forest clearing (the forest road can be seen on the right), but keep to the track, which climbs uphill again, cross the high fence of the pasture (there is a wooden crossing) and arrive at the meadow below the Strmec and Tič farms (you cannot see the buildings because you are below the slope, where the waymarked path joins the waymarked path "Grahovše - mountain pasture Spodnja Konjščica (past Uskovec)".
Continue left and climb across the meadow to the yard of the Tič farm, across the yard uphill (vegetable garden on the left, outbuildings on the right) to the junction with the macadam bypass road and continue along the road for a short distance, then the markings direct you slightly left on the marked footpath, which returns to the road just a little higher up. Continue along the road for a while, where a path from the farm Pavšel joins from the right. With beautiful views of the ridge of Kriška Gora, just a little higher from the crossroads, you reach a wooden log cabin where the road ends (the area is called Vrše).
Here, continue slightly left along the initially slightly more overgrown path, which quickly leads to the wooden hut Potarje 44. Continue through the forest and, due to the many small forks, follow the markings carefully. The moderately steep path climbs steeply for a short time higher up and leads to a forest road just a little higher up. Follow the road to the left, and we walk along it for only a few metres, as the markings and direction sign then direct us to the right onto the ascending footpath. The path continues, first climbing straight up the slope, then turning left and returning to the road higher up in the immediate vicinity of the "Na Bošt" lookout point (the lookout point is less than 5 minutes from the waymarked path). Once on the road, turn right and after about 10 minutes of further walking you will emerge from the forest at mountain pasture Lower Konjščica.
