Dom Trilobit - Planina Stamare (Za Kraševcem)

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice highway, take the Lipce exit and follow the road ahead in the direction of Jesenice. When we come to the traffic-light intersection where we join the old road, we continue right in the direction of Žirovnica. We follow this road only a short time, because at the next somewhat larger intersection (traffic light) we continue left in the direction of Javorniški Rovt. The road then goes through the underpass (railway) and then turns left (right Koroška Bela). We follow the road that higher up starts ascending steeply in the direction of Javorniški Rovt, but only to the intersection where, in a sharp left turn, the road branches off to the right (straight) towards the mountain hut Dom Trilobit and the Javornik source (prohibited for buses). A little further, the road brings us to the mentioned mountain hut and accumulation lake at hydropower plant Javornik. We park on the rough parking lot situated behind the lake and mountain hut Dom Trilobit (parking in front of the mountain hut isn't allowed).

Route description:
From the parking lot, we head onto the cart track in the direction of the natural and mining learning trail. The cart track immediately starts quite steeply ascending on the left side of the stream, which we hear nearby. Soon the path brings us to a wooden pole on which the signpost for mountain pasture Stamare directs us right (straight to mountain pasture Seča). We continue right and the cart track brings us in a few minutes to the interesting source of the Javornik stream.
We continue the ascent on the cart track, which has a few smaller forks, but if we follow the marks of the mining learning trail we won't have bigger problems with orientation. The cart track then turns into a poorly visible footpath, which joins a wide cart track a little higher, which we follow left uphill.
We then follow the often quite muddy cart track past a bigger rock (boulder), after which we pay attention. Approximately 3 minutes of walking from the mentioned rock, the cart track turns right, and we leave it right in that turn and continue the ascent straight on a barely visible path, which first ascends through quite sparse forest. The increasingly poorly visible path then brings us into dense forest, where it starts steeply ascending alongside smaller torrents uphill (orientation on this part is very demanding). Higher the path becomes easier to follow and after a few minutes of further walking brings us to the grazing fence. Further we "cross" the fence and in a few further steps step onto mountain pasture Stamare (shepherd's hut is located on the eastern part of the mountain pasture).
