Dom na Gospincu - Vrh Korena (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 towards Cerklje na Gorenjskem and Brnik. When you reach the main roundabout in Spodnji Brnik, continue driving towards Cerklje and the Krvavec ski area. At the end of the settlement of Cerklje na Gorenjskem, leave the main road, which continues towards Velesovo and Visoko, and continue slightly right onto the road towards the Krvavec ski area. Park at the large well-maintained parking lot by the lower station of the Krvavec circular-cabin gondola, where you buy a ticket and take the aforementioned gondola to the upper station, 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 towards Cerklje and the Krvavec ski area. At the end of the settlement of Cerklje na Gorenjskem, leave the main road, which continues towards Velesovo and Visoko, and continue slightly right onto the road towards the Krvavec ski area. Park at the large well-maintained parking lot by the lower station of the Krvavec circular-cabin gondola, where you buy a ticket and take the aforementioned gondola to the upper station, located by the mountain hut Dom na Gospincu.

When you reach the main roundabout in Spodnji Brnik, continue driving towards Cerklje and the Krvavec ski area. At the end of the settlement of Cerklje na Gorenjskem, leave the main road, which continues towards Velesovo and Visoko, and continue slightly right onto the road towards the Krvavec ski area. Continuing on, you arrive at the village of Grad, where signs for the settlement Ambrož pod Krvavcem direct you right onto a steep asphalt road (straight ahead: lower station of the Krvavec circular-cabin gondola and Štefanja Gora). When the gradient of the steep road eases somewhat, you reach an intersection, where you continue left towards the settlement Ambrož pod Krvavcem (straight ahead: settlements Ravne, Apno and Šenturška Gora). A little further on, the road temporarily descends a bit, then ascends through occasionally quite scenic slopes. Higher up, you arrive at 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 ascends through it all the way to the mountain pasture Jezerca, where there is a large well-maintained parking lot. The road flattens here and turns left; about 500 m further, it brings you to an intersection, where you continue slightly left (right: Kriška planina). You then drive some more on the macadam road, i.e., to the upper station of the circular-cabin gondola.
The road from the mountain pasture Jezerca to Dom na Gospincu is now closed to public traffic; this extends the approach by approximately 30 minutes.

Route description:
At the upper station of the Krvavec circular-cabin gondola, we will notice numerous mountain signposts. We head towards the Dom na Krvavcu hut and Marija Snežna on a poorly visible path that ascends almost straight up the grassy slope. The poorly visible path leads higher across a pasture fence, behind which it becomes somewhat more traceable. The relatively steep path then takes us to the Dom na Krvavcu hut, which we can already see from the upper gondola station (alternatively, you can also go there along a poorer macadam road).
From the hut, we continue towards Zvoh along the road that passes the chapel and transmitters on Krvavec and takes us to the Razor saddle (saddle between Krvavec peak and Veliki Zvoh), where there is a road junction. We continue straight along the ridge (Krvavec peak to the right, 5 minutes) following 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 cross a wire fence to the summit logbook, which is located just a few steps below the top.
From Veliki Zvoh, we continue along the marked path along the ridge named Jež. The relatively easy ridge path starts to descend after a few minutes of walking and takes us to a technically demanding spot. With the aid of a steel cable, we ascend a steep and crumbly gully exposed to falling rocks. The gully is short but long enough to cause significant difficulties for inexperienced hikers. The difficulties then disappear, and we follow the pleasant path, which mostly runs along the ridge, to two successive junctions. At the first, the path to Mokrica and mountain pasture Koren branches off to the right downhill; at the second, the path to Vrh Korena branches off to the right uphill, which we reach after one more minute of walking.
