Spodnja Kokra - Zavetišče v Hudičevem borštu (via Baba)

Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Jesenice, we take the exit Kranj - east and follow the road ahead in the direction of Jezersko. Only a few kilometers after the turn-off for Preddvor, we will notice a transformer on the right side of the road and a parking lot by it, where we park. Here there are also signposts for the mountain hut Dom Čemšenik.

Path description:
From the parking lot, first carefully cross the road, then head on the footpath in the direction of the mountain hut Dom Čemšenik. The wide path ascends barely noticeably to the homestead Polajnar, where we step onto the road, which we follow to the right.
The road steeply ascends just after the house, but it loses the asphalt surface a little higher. Further on, the road flattens and turns slightly to the left, where it comes completely close to the Čemšeniški potok stream. A little further, we cross the mentioned stream and immediately after it come to a marked junction, where we continue on the left road in the direction of the mountain hut Dom Čemšenik. The road then starts ascending more steeply again and brings us to the mountain hut Dom Čemšenik after less than 30 minutes of further walking.
From the mountain hut Dom Čemšenik, continue behind the hut on a well-visible but unmarked path that goes into the forest and starts gently at first, then increasingly steeply ascending. The path soon brings us to a modest vantage point, where it turns slightly to the right and then ascends transversely. Higher up, the path brings us to the main ridge (view of the Gorenjska plain), where it ascends even more steeply and brings us after a few minutes of further walking to a flatter section where a wooden hut (weekend cottage) stands.
A little before the hut, the path turns right and after a few more steps brings us to the logbook box on Baba.
From the logbook box, continue on a nicely traceable little path that continues along the occasionally panoramic ridge, from which a nice view first opens towards Cjanovca, Kočna, Grintovec, Kalški greben and other surrounding hills. The path ahead first continues along the left side of the ridge, then after an indistinct saddle passes to the right (eastern) slopes of Potoška gora. A few minutes of transverse ascent follow, then we join the marked path leading from Dom Čemšenik.
Continue upward and relatively quickly arrive at the saddle between Potoška gora on the left and the forepeak of Javorov vrh on the right.
At the saddle there is a marked junction, where we continue right (left Potoška gora, slightly left Planinska koča Iskra na Jakobu (we can descend on one of the mentioned paths)) in the direction of Javorjev vrh. The path continues along the forested ridge, avoiding only the indistinct forepeak to the right. A gentle ascent follows, from where some view opens up again, then the path returns to the forest and forks.
Here continue left in the direction of Srednji vrh, Kališče and Storžič (straight Javorov vrh 15 minutes) on the path that after a few more steps brings us to a pleasant spring. A half-hour crossing of the slopes below Javorov vrh follows, ending at the saddle between the mentioned peak and Cjanovca.
Here at the marked junction continue left in the direction of Hudičev boršt (straight Srednji vrh and Cjanovca, sharply right Javorov vrh) on the path that further crosses the slopes to the left, meanwhile rising slightly and descending a few times. After approximately 15 minutes of walking from the last junction, we step out of the forest onto the grassy slopes of Zaplata, across which we continue the crossing. The technically undemanding path leads us across occasionally steeper slopes, where especially when wet it is slippery in some places. In the last part before entering the forest, a steel cable helps us, and the path completely flattens after it. Once we enter the forest, we have only a short walk to the shelter.
Spodnja Kokra - Čemšenik 50 minutes, Čemšenik - Baba 45 minutes, Baba - Hudičev boršt 1:30.
