A little beyond Bašelj, the road descends to the Milka stream and crosses it via a bridge. Here, the road first branches off to the right into the village of Babni, Vrt, and then, a good 100 m further on, into the village of Povlje. Continue on the ascending road towards Povlje, and park in a small parking lot above the village.

Path description:
From the parking lot, follow the footpath between the two roads. The path begins to climb moderately through the forest on the south-western slopes of Storžič. After 45 minutes of walking, the path leads to a crossroads at the 'okrepčevalnica'. Here, turn left onto the lower path, which leads us to a pleasant little well within a few minutes. The path ahead climbs steeper and leads us further through the forest to cart track. Turn left here and follow the wide path ahead. Soon we come to a sharp right turn where we join the path from the village of Zalog. Just a few metres after this, you will reach another "refreshment rom". Follow Cart track all the way to the hut at Velika Poljana, where you also emerge from the forest.
At the hut, turn right and cross the grassy slopes horizontally mountain pasture. Soon the path leads us into the forest, where after 30 minutes, with a few descents and ascents, we reach mountain pasture Javornik. The path from Poljana to Javornik is a bit dangerous to slip on in places. Especially in the wet and snow.
