Dom na Gospincu - Kalška gora (via Zvoh)

Access to starting point:
A) From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Vodice, and then we continue driving to a first traffic light crossroad in Vodice, where we continue left in the direction of Cerklje na Gorenjskem and Brnik. When we get to the main roundabout in Spodnji Brnik we continue driving in the direction of Cerklje and ski slope Krvavec. At the end of the settlement Cerklje na Gorenjskem we leave the main road which continues towards Velesovo and Visoko and we continue driving slightly right on a road in the direction of the ski slope Krvavec. We park on a large settled parking lot by the bottom station of the cable car on Krvavec, where we buy a ticket and with mentioned cableway we go to the upper station, which is situated by the mountain hut Dom na Gospincu.
B) From highway Jesenice - Ljubljana we go to the exit Kranj - east, and then we continue driving towards Brnik, Komenda and Mengeš. When we get to the main roundabout in Spodnji Brnik we continue driving in the direction of Cerklje and ski slope Krvavec. At the end of the settlement Cerklje na Gorenjskem we leave the main road which continues towards Velesovo and Visoko and we continue driving slightly right on a road in the direction of the ski slope Krvavec. We park on a large settled parking lot by the bottom station of the cable car on Krvavec, where we buy a ticket and with mentioned cableway we go to the upper station, which is situated by the mountain hut Dom na Gospincu.

When we get to the main roundabout in Spodnji Brnik we continue driving in the direction of Cerklje and ski slope Krvavec. At the end of the settlement Cerklje na Gorenjskem we leave the main road which continues towards Velesovo and Visoko and we continue driving slightly right on a road in the direction of the ski slope Krvavec. Further, we get to the village Grad, where signs for settlement Ambrož pod Krvavcem point us to the right on a steep asphalt road (straight bottom station of the cable car on Krvavec and Štefanja Gora). When the steepness on a steep road decreases a little, we will get to a crossroad, where we continue left in the direction of the settlement Ambrož pod Krvavcem (straight settlement Ravne, Apno and Šenturška Gora). A little further, the road for some time descends a little and then it is ascending through occasionally quite panoramic slopes. Higher, we get to Ambrož pod Krvavcem, where on the left side we bypass church of St. Ambrož and tourist farm Pr Ambružarju. From the tourist farm ahead road passes into the forest and is ascending through it all the way to the mountain pasture Jezerca, where there is a large parking lot. The road here flattens and it turns left, about 500 meters ahead brings us to a crossroad, where we continue slightly left (right Kriška planina). On the macadam road, we then drive for some time or to the upper station of the cable car.
The road from the mountain pasture Jezerca to Dom na Gospincu is now closed for public traffic, this extends the path for approximately 30 minutes.

Path description:
At the upper station of the cable car on Krvavec we will notice numerous signposts. We go in the direction of the mountain hut Dom na Krvavcu and Marija Snežna on a poorly visible path, which ascends on a grassy slope almost straight upwards. Poorly visible path higher leads over a grazing fence, behind which becomes a little easier to follow. A relatively steep path then brings us to the mountain hut Dom na Krvavcu, which we already see from the upper station of the cableway (to here possible also on a worse macadam road). From the mountain hut, we continue in the direction of Zvoh on the road which past the chapel and transmitters on Krvavec brings us to a saddle Razor (saddle between the peak Krvavec and Veliki Zvoh), where there is a crossroad of roads. We continue straight on the ridge (right peak Krvavec 5 minutes) and increasingly steep transport road which is occasionally paved, we follow by the edge of the ski track to an artificial lake on Veliki Zvoh. From the lake, we ascend also on the nearby peak, and then over a wire fence we walk to the inscription box, which is situated only few steps below the summit.
From Veliki Zvoh we continue on a marked path on the ridge named Jež. Relatively easy ridge path, after few minutes of walking starts descending and it brings us to technically demanding spot. With the help of steel cables we ascend on a steep and crumbly gully, which is exposed to falling stones. Gully is short, but still enough long, that to inexperienced mountaineers cause a lot of problems. Difficulties then vanish and a pleasant path, which mostly runs on the ridge we follow to two successive crossings. At first, a path branches off to the right downwards on Mokrica and mountain pasture Koren, and at the second path branches off to the right upwards on Vrh Korena (1 minute). Next follows approximately 15 minutes of descent on a slope, which is partly vegetated with dwarf pines. At the end of the descent, the path brings us to a crossing on Škrbina.
Here we continue straight in the direction of Kalški greben and mountain hut Cojzova koča on the path which already after few additional strides, it brings us to the next crossing. We continue slightly right in the direction of "Kalce" (left Kalški greben) on the path which after few minutes of additional walking starts considerably descending. After few minutes of descent path turns slightly to the left and crosses scree below Kalški greben. Here we can on the right side, by the foot of the scree notice a smaller lake named Krvava lokev, and we continue on a marked path, which gradually passes on a karst terrain. Next follows few shorter ascents and descents on the path which leads us past numerous smaller abysses, and then we again come on the scree. In the middle of the scree, by some sort of broad ridge abandoned climbing path branches off to the left on Kalški greben, and we continue on a marked path, which only a little further from the right joins barely noticeable footpath from Žagana peč. We continue in the direction of the mountain hut Cojzova koča, and the path gradually brings us on increasingly steep and partly grassy slopes. The path a little further with the help of steel cables ascends on a steep slope, and then it flattens and in few minutes of additional walking brings us to a marked crossing
From the crossing, which is situated on a smaller saddle we continue right in the direction of Kalška gora (sharply left Kalški greben on a very demanding path, straight downwards Kokrsko sedlo). The path ahead passes on a steep and mainly in wet for slipping dangerous grassy slopes. This further relatively gently sloping path, we then follow all the way to Kalška gora, which we reach after good 5 minutes of additional walking.
