Zgornje Jezersko - Žmitkov špic

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice highway, we take the exit Kranj - east and follow the road ahead in the direction of Jezersko. At Zgornje Jezersko, at the intersection at the gas station, we turn left towards the church of St. Ožbolt at Jezersko (straight ahead MP Jezersko). We then drive past the hotel Planinka, following the road to the nearby church of St. Ožbolt. We park near the church, or a little lower on the arranged parking lot by the cemetery.

Path description:
From the church, we continue on the asphalt road which moderately ascends and after some ten steps brings us to the spot where it ends. Here we will notice on a tree a signpost for Virnikov Grintovec, which directs us right onto a footpath that gently ascends along the edge of grassy meadows. The path, which then goes into the forest and starts moderately ascending, after 15 minutes of walking immediately behind the stream brings us to the Žmitek homestead, where we also step onto a macadam road.
The marked footpath merely crosses the mentioned road, then starts steeply ascending through dense forest. After a few minutes of steep ascent, we join a gentler cart track which we then follow to a smaller saddle between Olipov rob (another name for Žmitkov špic) on the left and Žmitkov vrh on the right.
On the mentioned saddle we leave the wide marked path which leads towards Virnikov Grintovec and continue left on a less beaten but easy-to-follow path which after less than 5 minutes of further walking brings us below the summit of Žmitkov špic. Here the path steeply ascends, aided by a rope and slightly higher also a short ladder. After approximately 15 m of steep ascent, the path flattens, turns to the left and after a few further steps brings us to the panoramic summit.
