Access to starting point:
Access to the starting point is via an asphalted national road. Parking is possible by the main beach in Dol.
Route description:
The path to Kozice from Dol is interesting mainly because it starts directly near the main beach of the Kolpa river in the village of Dol in the municipality of Kočevje, so it is very attractive for all who spend an active holiday by the Kolpa. The ascent is relatively short and easily accessible, and the summit rewards with a fantastic view.
From the starting point in the village of Dol, we set off along the main road, where there is a descriptive or directional sign for the paths, which is somewhat covered by bushes, so it must be looked for a bit more carefully. We continue on a concrete road that rises to the left of the sign past a weekend house towards the forest. In the first approximately 200 to 300 meters of the path there are no markings, but the direction is nevertheless sufficiently clear. When we reach the forest, we step onto a well-visible and trodden path, where markings appear in the form of a green oak leaf on a white background. From there, orientation is simple, as directional signs are also clearly placed at important junctions.
The path is well marked and easy to follow at all times. The ascent is short, but in places quite steep and runs over inclined terrain, so especially on dry ground it can slip a bit. That is why it is recommended to have hiking footwear with a good sole.
After approximately one hour of walking and about 2.5 kilometers of path we reach the summit of Kozice at an altitude of 741 meters. At the top a fantastic view opens up, which is the main asset of this ascent and a nice conclusion to a short but pleasant path.
The path is very suitable for recreational hikers, holidaymakers and visitors to the Kolpa.
Due to the proximity of the main beach in Dol it is a good choice for a short trip before or after swimming.
Orientation is simple because the path is well marked.
Caution is sensible especially on the steeper parts where it can slip.
