Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice take the exit Kranj West and follow the road towards Golnik. Shortly after the village Tenetiše, you will see signs for the village of Goriče, which will direct you to the right on the local road. Just a little further on, you will come to the next crossroads, where you will continue to the right in the direction of the village Trstenik and Preddvor. We do not follow this road for long either, because after a few metres we will notice a sign with the inscription Zalog, which directs us to the left on the ascending road, which we then follow to the mentioned village. In the middle of the village, a little before the church, you will notice a road that turns right from the main road. Follow this road and you will soon see signs along it. Follow this road for about 1km and then park in one of the parking places along the road.
Path description:
From the starting point we continue along the road along which we parked, but it is getting worse and it leads us higher to the NOB monument, where we leave it and continue the climb right along the climbing cart track. At the point where the cart track, which we continue to climb, turns left, we will see a path on the right which starts to climb steeply through the forest (the start is not marked).
The path, along which you will notice rare markings, then leads past a small chapel to a less well-marked crossroads, at which you will notice a pleasant bench on a lookout.
From the lookout point, continue along the path, which ascends slightly to the right (left Mala Poljana) and after a few steps into the forest, where it begins to climb steeply. The path soon turns into a wide, vegetated ridge, where it continues for some time.
After a while, the relatively steep path, which turns slightly to the right higher up, leads to the wide cart track, where the path from Povelj joins.
Continue straight ahead on the ascending cart track, which leads past the "refreshment rom" to where a marked footpath branches off to the left from cart track. The ascent can be continued along the above-mentioned footpath, which climbs over grassy slopes, or along the cart track, which climbs along the edge of the forest. The two paths merge higher up and lead easily to the hut on Velika Poljana.
From the hut, continue on the gently sloping path, which climbs up the mountain pasture and leads us in 5 minutes to the saddle between Grebenc and Psico, where there is also a marked crossroads. Continue right into the forest along the path in the direction of Storžič over Psico (Mala Poljana on the left). The path starts to climb quite steeply and then turns slightly to the right and the steepness eases slightly. This path soon leads us out of the forest and to a fork in the trail. Turn left on the path over the Psico, and right on the easier path to Storžič.
From the crossroads, the path initially follows grassy terrain with dwarf pines and sparse trees, then re-enters the forest and starts to climb steeply. In a few places the path is also somewhat exposed. It then climbs up a grassy slope along a rare dwarf pines to a view ridge. Climb along the increasingly exposed ridge for some time, then reach the undistinguished summit of Psica. Descend gently from the summit and then continue along the exposed ridge. The path continues along the ridge and ascends and descends quite a few more times, and it helps to have some fixed safety gear. Later, the path through the gully joins us from the left, and we continue along the path along the ridge. In the last part of the path we climb steeply a few more times, with some fixed safety gear to help us. Just below the summit, the easiest route to Storžič joins us from the right, leading via mountain pasture Maple Tree. There is only a short climb up the top slope of Storžič, the summit of which is reached in a few minutes. Velika Poljana - Velika Poljana 2:00, Velika Poljana - Storžič 2:30.

Discussion about the trail Zalog - Storžič (via Psica)

Štart poti je lahko tudi iz Gozda pof kriško goro in greš najprej proti Tolstemu vrhu in naprej do Male polane. Potem pa slediš oznakam. na poti cveti veliko planik. Lepo ampak kar naporno zaradi stalnega vzpenjanja in spučanja. Nazaj dol pa do planine Javornik kot piše pa potem prečiš nazaj do Velike polane in naprej do Male polane.

Verjetno ga je na severni strani še kje kaj ostalo. V začetku aprila sem šla po tej poti in je bilo v glavnem kopno, le malo pod vrhom je bilo eno večje snežišče, ki pa se ga ja dalo po skalah izogniti.

Prvega maja je z vrha zgledalo takole, na južnem delu grebena pa ni bilo videti snega. (šel sem od planine Javornik direkt na vrh)

Prvega maja je bilo z vrha opaziti še nekaj strmih snežišč in odebeljen rob grebena, na južnem delu grebena pa ni bilo videti snega, pa tudi planincev nisem opazil. (šel sem od planine Javornik direktno na vrh)

Čez Psico na Storžič sem šel konec aprila,
pot je bila kopna,razen kot je zapisala že Nata24,pod vrhom je bilo snežišče, ki se mu je dalo izogniti po skalah.

Danes bila gor, snega je le za tri stope. Drugače pa brez posebnosti.

V soboto nisem ubral te smeri, jo bom pa letos sigurno še opravil. To pot sem šel iz Bašlja na Kališče in nato po grebenski na vrh.

Včeraj sem bil na tej poti. Čudovita je, samo ne vem če bi šel, če bi vedel, da je zelo zahtevna... Tako namreč piše na razpotju, kjer lahko gremo po lažji ali pa po zelo zahtevni čez Psico. Ne bi rad razvnemal sporov: vem, da je pogledov na to, kaj je lahko, zahtevno in zelo zahtevno ravno toliko, kot je okusov in o njih se ne razpravlja. Tudi, če pustimo vnemar, da bi lahko naredili kriterije za težavnost, se vprašam, zakaj je razlika v opisu težavnosti tu, na netu in tam na tabli? No, še enkrat: lepota poti je odtehtala ves stres

Torej: zahtevna ali zelo zahtevna pot? Ta prva zajla, ki gre navzdol je kar strma in še krušljiva. Tu bi priporočil samovarovanje. Vse ostale je lahko poplezavanje. Po stiku s potjo iz Žrela postane pot še malenkost težja a vseeno je vse skupaj po moje nekje zahtevna+. Pot JE izpostavljena in NI za vrtoglave. Sicer pa zelo lep grebenček primeren za tiste ki imajo radi poplezavanje po grebenih pa nimajo tehničnega znanja ali poguma za kaj težjega.

Ne bom govorila o tej poti, ker je še nisem prehodila, bi pa spomnila, da so oznake "lahka, zahtevna, zelo zahtevna" uradna klasifikacija (lahko si jo preberete na PZS in v nekaterih planinskih vodnikih) in ne nekaj, kar bi si vsak tolmačil po izbiri. Res je, da je na mnogih poteh označevanje sila različno, kar me že ves čas moti - nekaj preberemo v planinskem vodniku, nekaj "na terenu samem", spet nekaj tretjega na forumih (kar se tiče zahtevnosti in kar se tiče predvidenega povprečnega časa hoje). Mogoče bi bilo bolje, ko bi klasifikacijo dopolnili (uradno, ali pa vsaj v opisih na teh straneh) tako, kot jo je mogoče prebrati za poti v kakšni drugi državi - namreč trojni opis: tehnična, časovna, kondicijska zahtevnost, pa še morebitne opombe o izpostavljenosti poti (marsikatera je lahka, vendar vsaj mestoma izpostavljena).
Pa še tole opažanje: V naključnih pogovorih s planinci/gorniki sem tekom let neštetokrat opazila, da ne poznajo uradne klasifikacije poti, mogoče bi jo bilo treba objaviti še kje na vidnem mestu. In še eno ... občasno srečam planince, ki gredo na pot (ali so z nje prispeli) z natiskanim opisom poti, ki so ga našli na hribi.net in pogosto padajo pripombe, kako so bili "zavedeni" z oznako npr. "lahka pot" in potem pripominjajo v smislu "ja, če opise pišejo izvežbani alpinisti, potem je zanje vse lahko ...".

Živjo,
zanima me, če je že kdo hodil po poti, ki je prikazana kot možen odcep pri sliki 28. Ali se pot priključi poti, ki pelje iz Krničarjeve koče in kakšen je čas hoje.
Hvala

Ta pot (na desno, lažja pot) se priključi markirani po jugozahodni grapi na Storžič (glej opis pod Laško - Storžič) malo nad Karničarjevo kočo , mislim, da je kakšne slabe pol urce rahlega spusta. Na zemlejvidu se sicer lepo vidi.

Danes opravila to pot iz Povelj, in nisem bila razočarana. Je res kar naporna, kar zahtevna, zahteva stalno koncentracijo, res ni za vsakogar, vsekakor ne za vrtoglave. A ko jo imaš za sabo, se počutiš zmagovalca. Je pa bolj samotna do priključka poti čez žrelo, potem ne več.
