Pod Krnico - Planina Zgornja Dolga njiva

Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Jesenice, we take the exit Ljubelj. From this road before the gas station, we turn right to Tržič. The road then quickly brings us to Tržič, and we follow it further in the direction of the villages Jelendol and Medvodje. In the village Medvodje, we turn left towards Košuta on the forest road which we follow to the crossroad at Košutnik (house) approximately at 1000 m. Here we go right and drive to the parking lot at a smaller quarry.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we head onto the cart track which branches off left from the road. The cart track goes into the forest and ascends moderately, first crossing a smaller and then a bigger stream. The cart track, which has some shortcuts, makes some turns and after a good 15 minutes brings us to the pastures of the mountain pasture Spodnja Dolga njiva.
After a short walk across the mountain pasture, the path brings us to a junction where there are signposts. We head right in the direction of the path Košutnikov turn eastern approach. The gently sloping path brings us after a few dozen steps to the shepherd hut on the mountain pasture Spodnja Dolga njiva.
Further on, we continue upwards across the mountain pasture, in the middle of which runs a wide cart track that after a good 15 minutes of walking brings us out of the forest onto the mountain pasture Zgornja Dolga njiva.
The steepness of the path, which has been moderate so far, eases and the path soon brings us through nice grassy terrain to the central part of the mountain pasture.
