Dom pod Storžičem - Veliki Javornik (Ženiklovec)

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana–Jesenice motorway take the Ljubelj exit. From this road turn right into Tržič just before the petrol station. Follow the road through Tržič and on the other side of Tržič turn right towards Lom pod Storžičem. Follow this road further towards the signs for Dom pod Storžičem. Park in the parking area a few metres before the mountain hut.

Route description:
From the parking lot near Dom pod Storžičem continue on the left road towards Javorniško sedlo, Planina Javornik, Jezersko, Pavšel, Tič, Tržič and NOB monument. Already after a few metres of walking the road splits into two parts, we choose the upper right road (left Tič and NOB monument). Continue along the mentioned road, which after approximately 20 minutes of walking turns into a cart track. At the place where the road turns into a cart track we have two options for continuing. The ascent can be continued along the steep and quite overgrown footpath, or along the somewhat less steep cart track, which is not marked but is even somewhat easier orientation-wise than the marked footpath. The cart track and footpath merge higher up and lead us to Javorniški preval, where there is a signposted junction.
Here continue left (right Kanonir, sharp right Storžič), where after some 10 steps we arrive at the next junction. The right path leads towards Močnikovo sedlo, we continue along the left path towards Planina Javornik. The path continues along a wide and gentle cart track, which for a while crosses the slopes towards the northwest. After a few minutes the forest thins and the increasingly scenic path leads us to Planina Javornik, from which a fine view opens up.
From the planina continue right (left downhill Koča pri Zdravc, straight Stegovnik) along a moderately steep grassy slope, where initially we can still follow the path, which however is no longer marked from the planina onwards, and higher up turns into easy pathless terrain. When the track ends, continue across the grassy slope, which quite resembles a ski slope. Follow this "path" from which the views become ever finer, all the way to the logbook box on Veliki Javornik or Ženiklovec, reaching it after less than 30 minutes ascent from Planina Javornik.
