Dolina - Zavetišče na Kalu

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, following the narrower road towards Dovžanova soteska and further to the village Dolina, where on the 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 beside the garden and the older residential house onto the forest road. We continue the ascent on the always narrower and worse macadam road, which leads us beside the stream Kališnik 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, but 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 strip of forest, then brings us to moderately steep grassy slopes, on which, with nice views of Storžič and Stegovnik, we ascend to the saddle Kal, 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 the Zavetišče na Kalu.
