Črni Kal - Mladi vrh (via Koprivnik)

Access to starting point:
From Škofja Loka we drive towards Gorenja vas, but only to the village Poljane nad Škofjo Loko. Here we continue right in the direction of the village Javorje, on an ascending road which higher brings us to the mentioned village. In the mentioned village, from where also the road from Zaprevala joins, we continue left in the direction towards Blegoš (crossroads are well marked). The road, which then crosses a few hamlets, brings us higher to a crossroad of multiple roads (Črni Kal), where there is also a somewhat larger parking lot. By the parking lot we notice signposts for Blegoš and Koprivnik.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we head onto the cart track in the direction of Koprivnik. After a few dozen steps, we will notice signposts by the path that direct us right (straight Martinj vrh) onto an initially poorly visible footpath that steeply ascends a quite overgrown slope. The path ahead becomes more distinct and quickly brings us to the western ridge of Romovca. Further, the path ascends even steeper, then levels out and quickly brings us to the vegetated summit of Romovca.
A short descent follows and the path, which runs through the forest the whole time, brings us to a pleasant bench by which we notice a logbook box. We continue straight on a gentle path, which a little further joins a wide cart track. We follow the cart track in the direction of Koprivnik (right downwards Žetina), which gradually starts to ascend more steeply. At the spot where the cart track starts to be overgrown with high grass, we will on the right side notice an initially poorly visible but marked footpath that branches off to the right from the cart track. Further, we ascend through initially very dense forest on the path which higher brings us to partly panoramic slopes from which a view opens to the nearby Blegoš. A little further the steepness eases and the path through a blueberry patch quickly brings us to the summit of Koprivnik.
From the summit we descend to the other side on a marked path, which quickly brings us to a cart track, on which in 20 minutes we descend to a forest road. We follow the mentioned road to the left (right Črni Kal, option for descent), which further gently descends. After a few minutes of walking on the road, we will on the right side notice the blazes that direct us right onto an ascending cart track. From the mentioned cart track a well-marked footpath soon branches off to the left, which for a short time steeply ascends, then even slightly descends and brings us to a larger clearing. The path ahead crosses the mentioned clearing and on the other side joins a wide cart track. We follow the cart track to the left (direction Mladi vrh) and ascend along it through dense forest. Higher the cart track turns into a footpath, which quickly brings us to Mladi vrh.
