We went along this ridge yesterday, about which you can actually find nothing written. It caught our eye during our previous visit to the Pokljuka Gorge, when we were driving to the starting point and also later when we asked a local about it. On the map we saw two peak names, namely besides Kočevnik (838 m) also Srednji vrh (892 m), for which the local didn't even know that such a name exists. He said that they know it entirely as Kočevnik, so I named it that way too. The ridge is also known for Šimnova Cave, and the hike that the villagers organize every year is called exactly Šimnov Hike.
We really liked the ridge, lush, with a really pleasant path, a bit rocky, a bit up and a bit down, the views from it rise to the snow-covered peaks above Pokljuka, you can also see to Triglav. After crossing, we continued towards the village of Perniki, turned left before it and walked along the lower side of the ridge. We also went to the banks of the Radovna River, and admired its beautiful flowing water. Thus we did a circular tour, and at the same time wondered why we didn't meet a single hiker on the path. This happens to us quite often  .
