Access to the starting point:
a) First drive to Tržič, then continue driving towards Dovžana Gorge. Towards the end of Tržič, leave the road towards Dovžana Gorge and continue right towards Loma pod Storžič. Above Lom pod Storžič, at the right-hand serpentine, leave the main road, which leads higher towards Grahovše and Dom pod Storžič, and continue left towards Potarje. Follow the asphalt road to the crossroads below the tourist farm pr Tič, where you turn left towards mountain pasture Konjščica. Follow the macadam road, from which the road to the Pinč farm soon branches off to the left. Here go right along the upper road, which becomes visibly worse, and follow it for some time to the next crossroads. From the crossroads continue straight on the lower road (right up mountain pasture Konjščica), which crosses the Vetrnik stream a little further on. At the next crossroads, go left, and after 50 metres park in the marked parking area at the edge of mountain pasture Vetrh. From the junction at the Lepenka factory in Tržič to the starting point is about 11 km, of which 6 km are macadam.
b) a) First drive to Tržič, then continue to Dovžana Gorge. Continue through Dovžanovo gorge, Dolina, to Jelendol, where at the triangular crossroads continue on the right road towards Medvodje. A few kilometres further on, the road to mountain pasture Zala potok branches off to the left, and we continue along Tržiška Bistrica for some time, more precisely to the first carriageway to the right, which crosses the Tržiška Bistrica River via a bridge. After the bridge, we start climbing on a worse macadam road, which is often in a rather bad condition in some parts. At the crossroads, continue straight ahead, and then, when the road is level, you will quickly reach a marked parking area on the outskirts of mountain pasture Vetrh, where you will park. From the junction at the Lepenka factory in Tržič to the starting point is about 12. 5 km, of which 3. 7 km is very bad macadam road, and there is some more macadam.
Path description:
On the east side of the parking lot, cart track is seen climbing through the forest to a nearby forest road, which is followed to the left. The road quickly leads to a serpentine on the right, which offers a beautiful view towards Košuta, Plešivec and the surrounding mountains. The path then passes into a fairly dense forest, through which it climbs up the western slopes of Pečice (1421 m) and later Maljevec (1502 m). It does not take long to walk up the slopes of Maljevec, as the road leads into the valley of the Vetrnik stream. Crossing a bridge, the road quickly crosses over to the left bank of the stream and then climbs directly along the stream for a few minutes. Once higher up, the road crosses the stream again (this time without a bridge), but leave it and before crossing the stream continue right on the wider cart track, which begins to climb through the forest. At a fork in the track, bear slightly left and then, a few minutes higher up, return to the dirt road, which you follow to the right.
While walking along the road, you will quickly reach a marked crossroads from which you continue slightly right in the direction of Bela peč and mountain pasture Konjščica (straight ahead mountain pasture Javornik). From the crossroads, the road continues to climb gently for a short time, and then on the left we can see the Zdravc hut, which offers a beautiful view towards Storžič and Tolstemu vrh.
From the hut, continue along the road for a short distance, and then, at a small pass, turn right onto the marked footpath in the direction of Bela Peća. The way forward begins to climb moderately along the edge of the steep slopes, and then leads us to a cart track, which we follow to the left. Cart track ends quickly, and the path moves on to steeper slopes, which are crossed to the right. There is a short, slightly exposed passage, after which the slope flattens out. A grazing fence is crossed, and then a gently sloping path leads to the next marked crossroads.
At the crossroads, continue left (straight ahead mountain pasture Upper and Lower Konjščica) in the direction of lookout point Bela peč. Here, continue through a narrow passage between two trees, and then quickly climb to the viewpoint. Planina Vetrh - Zdravc hut 45 minutes, Zdravc hut - Bela peč 30 minutes.
