Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Kranj - vzhod and follow the road ahead in the direction of Jezersko. From Zgornje Jezersko we continue driving towards Austria, and we are driving there to a border crossing Jezerski vrh, where we park on a marked parking lot on the Slovenian side.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we walk to the nearby macadam road which ascends north from the border crossing, and already after few meters it brings us to Austrian signposts, where from the road to the right, a marked path branches off on Pristovški Storžič. Mentioned turn-off to the right we "ignore" and we continue on the macadam road which turns a little to the left and it is for some time gently to moderately ascending. From the road which continues with some shorter ascents and descents, occasionally a nice view opens up on a mountain chain of Kamnik Savinja Alps. Eventually, the road from the slopes of Pristovški Storžič brings us to an old JNA guardhouse on Ankova planina.
From here the road continues right, and then it is semicircular turning towards the left, where a little higher it brings us below the peak Roblek. The road then starts descending steeper and after a short descent brings us to the national border between Slovenia and Austria. Here we stride across the national border and in few 10 strides we descend to hut on the mountain pasture Roblekova planina.
From the hut on Roblekova planina we continue left on the road which starts gently descending towards the western part of the mountain pasture. After a short descent, the road splits into two parts, and we go straight and we continue on the one, which is still gently to moderately descending. Even a little lower, we will get to yellow Austrian signposts with the caption Kl. Grintoutz / Virnikov Grintovec, which is pointing left upwards on a cart track.
At this spot, where we join the marked path which leads from the village Korte / Trögern towards Virnikov Grintovec, the path goes into the forest and it starts moderately ascending. Cart track a little higher brings us to a clearing, from which a view opens up on our destination and a little further also on Obir, and it turns a little to the right. Next follows a little more of walking on a wide cart track, and then blazes point us to the left on a narrower and gradually also increasingly steep cart track. A little higher from the left joins another cart track, and we continue right and then after few minutes of additional walking, we get to a saddle Žingerc, where we again step on the Slovenian side.
We continue in the direction of Virnikov Grintovec, on the path which goes into the forest, and it starts ascending steeper and steeper. A pretty steep path, higher brings us on the main ridge, where it turns to the left. On the ridge, from which beautiful views opening up on surrounding peaks, steepness also decreases. This occasionally very panoramic and on individual spots for slipping dangerous path (in the dry there is no significant danger) we follow all the way to the top of Virnikov Grintovec.
On the way: Roblekova planina (1284m), Žingerc (1345m)
