Planina Jezerca - Kalška gora (via Dom na Krvavcu and Zvoh)

Access to starting point:
A) From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Vodice, and then we continue driving to a first traffic light crossroad in Vodice, where we continue left in the direction of Cerklje na Gorenjskem and Brnik. When we get to the main roundabout in Spodnji Brnik we continue driving in the direction of Cerklje and ski slope Krvavec. At the end of the settlement Cerklje na Gorenjskem we leave the main road which continues towards Velesovo and Visoko and we continue driving slightly right on a road in the direction of the ski slope Krvavec. Further, we get to the village Grad, where signs for settlement Ambrož pod Krvavcem point us to the right on a steep asphalt road (straight bottom station of the cable car on Krvavec and Štefanja Gora). When the steepness on a steep road decreases a little, we will get to a crossroad, where we continue left in the direction of the settlement Ambrož pod Krvavcem (straight settlement Ravne, Apno and Šenturška Gora). A little further, the road for some time descends a little and then it is ascending through occasionally quite panoramic slopes. Higher, we get to Ambrož pod Krvavcem, where on the left side we bypass church of St. Ambrož and tourist farm Pr Ambružarju. From the tourist farm ahead road passes into the forest and is ascending through it all the way to the mountain pasture Jezerca, where there is a large parking lot.
B) From highway Jesenice - Ljubljana we go to the exit Kranj - east, and then we continue driving towards Brnik, Komenda and Mengeš. When we get to the main roundabout in Spodnji Brnik we continue driving in the direction of Cerklje and ski slope Krvavec. At the end of the settlement Cerklje na Gorenjskem we leave the main road which continues towards Velesovo and Visoko and we continue driving slightly right on a road in the direction of the ski slope Krvavec. Further, we get to the village Grad, where signs for settlement Ambrož pod Krvavcem point us to the right on a steep asphalt road (straight bottom station of the cable car on Krvavec and Štefanja Gora). When the steepness on a steep road decreases a little, we will get to a crossroad, where we continue left in the direction of the settlement Ambrož pod Krvavcem (straight settlement Ravne, Apno and Šenturška Gora). A little further, the road for some time descends a little and then it is ascending through occasionally quite panoramic slopes. Higher, we get to Ambrož pod Krvavcem, where on the left side we bypass the church of St. Ambrož and tourist farm Pr Ambrožarju. From the tourist farm ahead road passes into the forest and is ascending through it all the way to the mountain pasture Jezerca, where there is a large parking lot.

Path description:
At the end of the parking lot, where the road turns to the left, and the road branches off to the right towards the nearby mountain pasture Jezerca, we will notice red hiking signposts, which point us straight on a marked footpath in the direction of Kriška planina, Vrh Korena, Košutna, Kompotela and Mokrica, which ascends through pastures of the already mentioned mountain pasture. After a short ascent, we reach the cart track, and we follow it to the left, where we cross slopes of Križišče (1658 meters). Cart track, on which we walk quickly splits into two parts, and we continue straight on the lower. For some time a nice view opens up towards Kranj, Škofjeloško hribovje and Storžič, and then the path starts lightly descending. Next follows few minutes of walking, and then we get to the parking lot by the lower part of the mountain pasture Kriška planina.
Here slightly to the right marked path continues towards Planina Koren, and we continue straight on the other side of the valley, where we start ascending on a grassy slope towards the nearby hamlet. After a short ascent, we get to mountain dairy Pr Florjan, which we bypass on the right side. Above mountain dairy we gradually step on a nicely beaten, but poorly marked footpath which starts ascending steeper on a grassy slope. Higher, we reach worse, partly grassy cart track, and we are ascending there to the spot, where it turns right. From the mentioned turn, we continue straight on a little less distinct path, on which in few minutes we ascend to the mountain hut Dom na Krvavcu.
At Dom na Krvavcu we step on a macadam road, and we start ascending there in the direction of the summit of Krvavec and Zvoh. Further, we are ascending with nice views on group of Storžič and Kočna and Grintovec, the path past the transmitter tower gradually brings us on little steeper slopes of the peak Krvavec. Here the road flattens and crosses the western slopes of the mentioned peak, and then we soon get to a saddle Razor.
On the saddle from the right side almost unnoticeably joins an unmarked path from the mountain pasture Koren (path branches off from the marked path Kriška planina - Planina Koren, namely little before the mountain pasture Koren), and we continue straight to the nearby red signposts, which are situated little before the crossing, where the marked path branches off slightly to the left towards the mountain pasture Dolga njiva. Here we continue straight as well and we start ascending steeply on a transport road which is on the steepest part paved. Higher, the steepness gradually decreases and the path brings us to an artificial lake, which is intended for snowmaking. We bypass the lake on the left side, and then we continue slightly right and in few minutes we ascend on a panoramic peak Zvoh.
Stamp and inscription book are situated a little below the summit, namely by marked path which continues towards Vrh Korena.
From Veliki Zvoh we continue on a marked path on the ridge named Jež. Relatively easy ridge path, after few minutes of walking starts descending and it brings us to technically demanding spot. With the help of steel cables we ascend on a steep and crumbly gully, which is exposed to falling stones. Gully is short, but still enough long, that to inexperienced mountaineers cause a lot of problems. Difficulties then vanish and a pleasant path, which mostly runs on the ridge we follow to two successive crossings. At first, a path branches off to the right downwards on Mokrica and mountain pasture Koren, and at the second path branches off to the right upwards on Vrh Korena (1 minute). Next follows approximately 15 minutes of descent on a slope, which is partly vegetated with dwarf pines. At the end of the descent, the path brings us to a crossing on Škrbina.
Here we continue straight in the direction of Kalški greben and mountain hut Cojzova koča on the path which already after few additional strides, it brings us to the next crossing. We continue slightly right in the direction of "Kalce" (left Kalški greben) on the path which after few minutes of additional walking starts considerably descending. After few minutes of descent path turns slightly to the left and crosses scree below Kalški greben. Here we can on the right side, by the foot of the scree notice a smaller lake named Krvava lokev, and we continue on a marked path, which gradually passes on a karst terrain. Next follows few shorter ascents and descents on the path which leads us past numerous smaller abysses, and then we again come on the scree. In the middle of the scree, by some sort of broad ridge abandoned climbing path branches off to the left on Kalški greben, and we continue on a marked path, which only a little further from the right joins barely noticeable footpath from Žagana peč. We continue in the direction of the mountain hut Cojzova koča, and the path gradually brings us on increasingly steep and partly grassy slopes. The path a little further with the help of steel cables ascends on a steep slope, and then it flattens and in few minutes of additional walking brings us to a marked crossing.
From the crossing, which is situated on a smaller saddle we continue right in the direction of Kalška gora (sharply left Kalški greben on a very demanding path, straight downwards Kokrsko sedlo). The path ahead passes on a steep and mainly in wet for slipping dangerous grassy slopes. This further relatively gently sloping path, we then follow all the way to Kalška gora, which we reach after good 5 minutes of additional walking.
While ski slope operates it is forbidden to walk on part of the path, where it runs over ski track.
