Dom na Gospincu - Kalška gora (via Zvoh)

Access to starting point:
A) From the Ljubljana - Jesenice highway, take the Vodice exit, then continue driving to the first traffic-light intersection in Vodice, where you continue left in the direction of Cerklje na Gorenjskem and Brnik. When you reach the main roundabout in Spodnji Brnik, continue driving in the direction of Cerklje and the Krvavec ski resort. At the end of the settlement Cerklje na Gorenjskem, leave the main road which continues towards Velesovo and Visoko and continue driving slightly right onto the road in the direction of the Krvavec ski resort. Park on the large arranged parking lot by the bottom station of the gondola lift on Krvavec, where you buy a ticket and take the aforementioned gondola to the upper station, which is located by the mountain hut Dom na Gospincu.
B) From the Jesenice - Ljubljana highway, take the Kranj - east exit, then continue driving towards Brnik, Komenda and Mengeš. When you reach the main roundabout in Spodnji Brnik, continue driving in the direction of Cerklje and the Krvavec ski resort. At the end of the settlement Cerklje na Gorenjskem, leave the main road which continues towards Velesovo and Visoko and continue driving slightly right onto the road in the direction of the Krvavec ski resort. Park on the large arranged parking lot by the bottom station of the gondola lift on Krvavec, where you buy a ticket and take the aforementioned gondola to the upper station, which is located by the mountain hut Dom na Gospincu.

When you reach the main roundabout in Spodnji Brnik, continue driving in the direction of Cerklje and the Krvavec ski resort. At the end of the settlement Cerklje na Gorenjskem, leave the main road which continues towards Velesovo and Visoko and continue driving slightly right onto the road in the direction of the Krvavec ski resort. Further on, you reach the village of Grad, where signs for the settlement Ambrož pod Krvavcem direct you right onto a steep asphalt road (straight ahead to the bottom station of the gondola lift on Krvavec and Štefanja Gora). When the steepness on the steep road eases slightly, you will reach an intersection, where you continue left in the direction of the settlement Ambrož pod Krvavcem (straight ahead to the settlements Ravne, Apno and Šenturška Gora). A little further, the road temporarily descends slightly, then climbs through occasionally quite panoramic slopes. Higher up, you reach Ambrož pod Krvavcem, where you bypass the church of St. Ambrož and the tourist farm Pr Ambružarju on the left side. From the tourist farm onwards, the road enters the forest and climbs through it all the way to the mountain pasture Jezerca, where there is a large arranged parking lot. The road levels out here and turns left; about 500 m further it brings you to an intersection, where you continue slightly left (right to Kriška planina). On the gravel road, you then drive a bit further to the upper station of the gondola lift.
The road from the mountain pasture Jezerca to Dom na Gospincu is now closed to public traffic; this extends the path by approximately 30 minutes.

Path description:
At the upper station of the gondola lift on Krvavec we will notice numerous mountain signposts. We head in the direction of the mountain hut Dom na Krvavcu and Marija Snežna on a poorly visible path that ascends almost straight up the grassy slope. The poorly visible path higher up leads across a grazing fence, behind which it becomes somewhat easier to follow. The relatively steep path then brings us to the mountain hut Dom na Krvavcu, which we can see already from the upper cable car station (to here also possible via a poorer macadam road).
From the hut we continue in the direction of Zvoh on the road that takes us past the chapel and transmitters on Krvavec to the Razor saddle (saddle between the Krvavec summit and Veliki Zvoh), where there is a road junction. We continue straight along the ridge (right to Krvavec summit 5 minutes) and follow the increasingly steep transport-rescue road, which is occasionally paved, along the edge of the ski slope to the reservoir on Veliki Zvoh. From the reservoir we climb to the nearby summit, then walk across the wire fence to the summit register box, which is located just a few steps below the summit.
From Veliki Zvoh we continue on the marked path along the ridge named Jež-a. The relatively easy ridge path starts descending after a few minutes of walking and brings us to a technically demanding section. With the aid of a steel cable we climb the steep and crumbly gully, which is exposed to falling rocks. The gully is short but long enough to cause great difficulties for inexperienced hikers. The difficulties then disappear and we follow the pleasant path, which mostly runs along the ridge, to two consecutive junctions. At the first, the path to Mokrica and mountain pasture Koren branches off right and downwards; at the second, the path to Vrh Korena branches off right and upwards (1 minute). This is followed by an approximately 15-minute descent down the slope, which is partly overgrown with dwarf pines. At the end of the descent the path brings us to a junction on Škrbina.
Here we continue straight in the direction of Kalški greben and Cojzova koča on the path that after just a few more steps brings us to the next junction. We continue slightly right in the direction of "Kalce" (left to Kalški greben) on the path which after a few more minutes of walking begins to descend noticeably. After a few minutes' descent the path turns slightly left and crosses the scree slopes below Kalški greben. Here, on the right side at the foot of the scree we can notice a small pond named Krvava lokev; we continue on the marked path which gradually transitions to karst terrain. There follow a few short ascents and descents on the path that leads past numerous small sinkholes, then we reach the scree again. In the middle of the scree, along a sort of ridge, an abandoned climbing path to Kalški greben branches off to the left; we continue on the marked path to which a barely noticeable path from Žagana peč joins from the right just a little further on. We continue in the direction of Cojzova koča; the path gradually brings us onto increasingly steep and partly grassy slopes. A little further on, with the help of a steel cable, the path climbs over a steep slope, then levels out and brings us to a marked junction in a few minutes of further walking.
From the junction, located on a small saddle, we continue right in the direction of Kalška gora (sharply left to Kalški greben on a very demanding path, straight down to Kokrsko sedlo). The path ahead transitions to steep grassy slopes that are especially prone to slipping when wet. We follow this further relatively gentle path all the way to Kalška gora, which we reach after a good 5 minutes of further walking.
