Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Kranj - vzhod and follow the road ahead in the direction of Jezersko. In Zgornje Jezersko only a little behind the gas station, we will notice a road which from the main road branches off to the right (direction lake Planšarsko jezero). The road then leads us past the mentioned lake and behind it for a short time steeply ascends. Higher, the road flattens and at the beginning of a large meadow loses an asphalt covering. We then follow the macadam road to a larger marked parking lot.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on a macadam road following the signs »Češka koča, Ledine« and after approximately 15 minutes of walking, we come to a cargo cableway.
At the cableway, the path goes behind the bottom station of the cableway in the direction of the mountain hut Češka koča and at first, it is gently ascending on a wide path, which in few minutes brings us on a bigger clearing. The path over this clearing is usually quite muddy therefore be careful. After 20 minutes of walking, the path brings us on an indistinct small ridge, where there is a bench. The path then continues through the forest and after additional 20 minutes brings us to a crossing, where from the right side, the path from a meadow (lower starting point) joins. We continue left and already after few additional strides, we get to the next crossing, where from the right side, the path from Makekova Kočna (neighbouring valley) joins. After that, the path out of the forest passes on scenic slopes, where with the help of some steel cables and a ladder ascending towards the mountain hut Češka koča (Hudičevi klanci). This part of the path in dry isn't difficult and does not pose a greater risk (more caution is needed in late autumn, when the gullies are covered with ice and in the winter, when there is snow). The path then flattens and it brings us to Mrzla dolina (cold valley 1500m), where often cold air is retained. Next follows only good 5 minutes long moderate ascent and the path brings us to the mountain hut Češka koča na Spodnjih Ravneh.
From the mountain hut, we continue right on the path in the direction of Kočna, Grintovec and Vratca (left mounain hut Kranjska koča through Žrelo). After a short ascent, we come on flat ground with sign H (intended for landing a helicopter). The path ahead runs on at first gentle scree, which is partly covered with dwarf pines. In the lower part of the scree path on Vratca branches off to the right, and we continue straight in the direction of Kočna and Grintovec. After approximately half an hour of walking from the mountain hut, we come to the next crossing. We continue right in the direction of Kočna (left Grintovec over Mlinarsko sedlo) and we are still ascending on partly vegetated scree to Zgornje Ravni. On Zgornje Ravni path turns sharply right and it ascends over the scree. Higher, the path which continues to turning right brings us on a side ridge of central Grintovci. Here a nice view opens up towards the north, where we clearly see most of the peaks, which surround Jezersko. Here, where we turn sharply left starts the climbing part of the path. Well secured and in dry not very demanding climbing path with nice views and past a natural window, which we will notice on the right side, after almost three hours of walking from Češka koča brings us on the main ridge of Grintovci (notch Zdolška škrbina), where there is a crossing. We continue sharp right in the direction of Jezerska Kočna (left Grintovec, straight mountain hut Cojzova koča) on the path which quickly brings us to one of the most interesting passages in Slovenian mountains. Because path brings us to rounded passage through which we have to crawl. Because the ceiling above us is so low, that otherwise it is not possible (watch out the head). The path ahead passes on short scree after which we step on a steeper path, where we get help from some iron spikes and steel cables. Then we follow a panoramic path to the narrow peak.
From the top, we descend few meters and we continue on the ridge path towards Kokrska Kočna (marked). The path which at the beginning descends into the gully between the both peaks is well secured with iron spikes and steel cables. From the gully, the path again starts ascending and with the help of fixed safety gear brings us on an ample peak of Kokrska Kočna.
