Dolina - Robič

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice highway we take the Podnart (Ljubelj) exit, then continue driving on the fast road towards Ljubelj and Tržič. When the fast road ends, we will notice a gas station on the right side, in front of which we turn right downwards towards Tržič. Further, we drive through Tržič, and we follow the narrower road towards the Dovžanova soteska gorge and further to the village Dolina, where on a macadam parking lot before the bridge over the river Tržiška Bistrica we also park.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we first cross the bridge, then walk along the main road to the nearby chapel, where we continue left along the garden and older residential house onto the forest road. We continue the ascent on the ever narrower and worse macadam road, which leads us along the Kališnik stream moderately upwards. The road soon changes into a cart track, which starts to ascend more steeply. Higher, we come to a water catchment, above which the narrower cart track turns left and ends after a few meters, and we continue straight across a larger grassy meadow, on which we ascend to a somewhat larger spruce, where the blazes direct us slightly right onto a steeper footpath. We continue on the steep path, which crosses a shorter stretch of forest, then brings us to moderately steep grassy slopes, on which, with nice views of Storžič and Stegovnik, we ascend to the Kal saddle, where we also step onto the forest road. From the saddle, from which a nice view of Begunjščica opens up, we continue right and in a few steps arrive at Zavetišče na Kalu.
From the shelter we continue on the macadam road, where we soon reach a marked junction, where the "direct" path to Dom na Kofcah branches left, and we continue straight ahead, still following the macadam road. A traverse ascent follows on the macadam road, from which we occasionally get nice views of the Kamniško Savinjske Alpe; the marked path past the chapel to the Kofce mountain pasture then turns left uphill from the road, but we follow the road to the nearby junction.
From the junction we continue right (sharply left we can reach Kofce) and gradually begin to descend; lower down the road enters dense forest, where we also reach the junction of macadam roads.
We continue straight on the worse cart track, which runs between both roads and soon becomes quite steep. During the ascent on the cart track, looking back we get a nice view of the western peaks of Košuta; higher up the path turns left and brings us in a few minutes to the ridge, where it turns right and becomes a worse path. A little further we step out of the forest onto a smaller clearing, where we reach the forepeak, and from the forepeak we continue another approximately 2 minutes on the worse path, which brings us to the scenic summit.
