Access to starting point:
A) We drive to Preddvor or to the settlement Tupaliče, which is situated along the main road Kranj - Zgornje Jezersko, then we continue driving in the direction of Jezersko. When we arrive in the settlement Kokra, at the road sign between 8.5 km and 8 km, we turn right over the bridge to the hamlet Podlebelca, where the described path begins. At the starting point there are no arranged parking spots; we park at a suitable place nearby.
B) From Jezersko we drive towards Preddvor, at the road sign between 8 km and 8.5 km we turn left over the bridge to the hamlet Podlebelca, where the described path begins. At the starting point there are no arranged parking spots; we park at a suitable place nearby.
Path description:
After the bridge, we notice red hiking signposts that direct us to the road that ascends through the hamlet Podlebelca. Past the houses we follow the blazes, above the hamlet the asphalt ends. After a short ascent through the forest we arrive at a larger chapel, behind which we go left onto a marked cart track. The cart track splits immediately, and we choose the right one, along which the blazes continue. A little higher we reach an asphalt road that leads towards the farms Roblek, Pestotnik and Lovrin, and we walk along it to the first right turn. After the turn the footpath continues, which quickly ascends to the place where we cross the road that leads to the farm Lovrin. We continue through the forest, and the path gradually transitions to an indistinct forested ridge, along and beside which it then ascends. Higher we also cross an asphalt road that leads towards the farm Roblek, and we ascend more steeply for a few more minutes, then join the cart track that leads from the farm Roblek.
We continue straight ahead along the initially wide cart track, which we soon leave as the blazes direct us right onto the footpath. Further on, the not too steep path then brings us to a larger rock, where there is the next marked junction. We continue straight (right Krvavec) along the path that gradually begins to ascend more steeply and brings us higher below an extensive rocky scree that is visible already from the valley of the river Kokra. The path withdraws from the scree slightly to the left, then, when we are already somewhat higher, turns right and approaches the rocky cliffs on our right completely. The path ahead brings us in a moderate ascent to a short stretch of dwarf pines, behind which we reach Lojtra. Lojtra is a slightly exposed passage along a wide and well-secured ledge. After crossing this section, only a short traverse of the slopes follows (cable), after which the steepness of the slopes eases. Ahead we continue along the path that ascends through the dwarf pines. After 15 minutes the dwarf pines end and the path brings us to the expansive pastures of Dolga njiva, where we reach a junction. We continue straight (right Krvavec) and after a few more steps the path brings us to the old shepherd's hut on the mentioned pasture.
From the mentioned hut we continue along the left side of the pasture on a poorly visible trail that after 5 minutes of further walking brings us to the other, renovated hut. Again we keep slightly left and the still poorly visible path soon brings us into a stretch of dwarf pines, where it becomes more distinct. A traverse of a short steep gravelly slope follows, then a gentle path brings us in a few minutes of pleasant walking across meadows overgrown with dwarf pines to a junction at Škrbina.
Here we continue left in the direction of Kalški greben and Cojzova koča along the path that already after a few more steps brings us to the next junction. We continue slightly left (right Kalška gora and Cojzova koča) along the path that begins to ascend gently on increasingly panoramic slopes. The pleasant path, which can be very hot in the middle of the day, first leads near a smaller ridge, then gradually turns somewhat more to the left and brings us from the dwarf pines onto wonderful meadows where we will find various types of flowers. The wide slope along which we walk then narrows, and the meadows are gradually replaced by rocks. Higher the path brings us onto the panoramic main ridge, which we then follow to the summit, which is often full of sheep droppings.
