Route description:
We start on the macadam road which at the beginning of the village ascends left above houses. Soon the marked path branches off steeply left into the forest. We follow this path to the mountain pasture Spodnji Jirn. Here we leave the marked path and head left across the mountain pasture towards the nicely visible cliffs. At the end of the meadow a visible path, by the riverbed of a torrent, brings us to the mountain pasture Zgornji Jirn.
