Path description:
From the starting point, we continue towards the west, on for public traffic closed road. Soon after the traffic sign asphalt ends, and we are moderately ascending on the road all the way to the juncture with ski track. When we reach the ski slope we go sharply left and we continue on a transport road which continues on a ski slope. During the ascent occasionally a view opens up a little, otherwise it is mostly veiled by the nearby forest. Higher for some time we leave the route of the ski slope, and when we return on a ski slope, beautiful views opening up on Julian Alps and western Karawanks. After a little less than an hour and a half of walking, we get to transmitters on an indistinct summit Breznik.
Here the road and ski slope turn to southwest, where we bypass on the right side artificial lake. Next follows few minutes of a light ascent, after that transport road becomes steeper, and from the path increasingly beautiful views opening up, which reach over valley Kanalska dolina to Carnic Alps, and more. Further, we are still ascending on a transport road which continues on, and occasionally also by the ski slope. Higher, when the road flattens, we reach the summit of Florjanka.
From Florjanka we continue straight and on a transport road we start descending towards the southwest. After a short descent, we get to covered conveyor belt, where the path for some time ascends a little and then again starts descending. Next follows good 10 minutes of moderate descent, and then the path flattens and to the mountain pasture Višarska planina we have only a light ascent.
From Višarska planina on a transport road we are at first gently, and then steeper ascending. During the ascent on the left side a nice view opening up on Beraški križ, and higher we quickly reach bigger chapel on a saddle Višarsko sedlo, from where we continue left on a footpath in the direction of Kamniti lovec (straight Zajzera, right Svete Višarje).
From the saddle, we ascend a little and then the path for some time continues without large changes in altitude, or is only slightly ascending. Further, the path starts moderately ascending, and higher is ascending diagonally on slopes of Beraški križ, peak which we see left from the path. After a long crossing to the right, follows shorter a little steeper part, and then the path brings us in the cirque V Klobuku, where the path for some time flattens and turns again more to the right. When the path again starts ascending it turns left and then leads on the scree, on which we walk all the way to the entrance into a more demanding part.
At the beginning of a secured part arrow on rock points us right, where with the help of steel cables we start steeply ascending. After a shorter steep ascent, a well-secured path turns right and it ascends diagonally to crumbly gravel gully, to which we descend on still secured path. Next follows an ascent through the gully, where we have to be very careful, not to trigger stones, because below us runs mountain path and every stone can be dangerous for numerous mountaineers below us, and we also have to pay attention to falling stones, which is triggered by mountaineers above us. During the ascent through the gully, which technically isn't that difficult, on some spots we also get help from a steel cable. On top of the gully, we reach the ridge, where we continue right, after that on a steep path in a minute of additional walking, we reach the panoramic peak.
Trbiž - Florjanka 2:30, Florjanka - Višarska planina 25 minutes, Višarska planina - Kamniti lovec 1:30.
