Kokra (Roblek) - Vrh Korena

Access to starting point:
A) We drive to Preddvor or to the settlement Tupaliče, which is situated by the main road Kranj - Zgornje Jezersko, and then we continue driving in the direction of Jezersko. When we reach the settlement Kokra, at the road sign between 10.5 km and 10 km we turn right downwards towards Spodnja Kokra (by the crossroad there are also signposts). Further, we drive on a narrow asphalt road which runs between the church on the right and the river Kokra on the left. The road then starts ascending, and we follow it at the crossroads in the direction of the farm Roblek. The mostly asphalted road brings us higher to the farm Roblek, where we park in an appropriate place.
B) From Jezersko we drive towards Preddvor, at the road sign between 10 km and 10.5 km we turn left downwards towards Spodnja Kokra (by the crossroad there are also signposts). Further, we drive on a narrow asphalt road which runs between the church on the right and the river Kokra on the left. The road then starts ascending, and we follow it at the crossroads in the direction of the farm Roblek. The mostly asphalted road brings us higher to the farm Roblek, where we park in an appropriate place.

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on the road which bypasses the farm on the right side, and then we cross another grazing fence. The gentle road then leads us across the pasture, from where beautiful views open up mainly towards the mountains above the right bank of the river Kokra. On the other side of the pasture the road goes into the forest and turns into a cart track. Immediately when the cart track enters the forest, a marked path from the valley joins us from the right, and we continue the path along the initially still quite gentle cart track. After a few minutes we arrive in Grda dolina, where the cart track turns slightly to the left, but here we continue slightly to the right on the marked footpath, which begins to ascend more steeply through the forest. Further on we ascend quite steeply, and the path leads us through the area named Roblekov kot. Higher up the path brings us alongside a torrent gully, which we also cross a little further on. On the other side of the torrent, partly over scree slopes, we approach the walls of Krvavec more and more closely, where the path becomes exposed to falling stones. Further on, Roblekov kot narrows, so the path gradually leads us towards the rocky jump Lojtra. The well-secured, mostly also relatively wide path then leads us over the mentioned passage, where there is also a stand of edelweiss and Zois' bellflower. A few more minutes of quite steep ascent follow, after which the path gradually flattens. When the path flattens even more, the forest also thins out, and the path brings us to the lower part of the mountain pasture Dolga njiva. Along the pleasant grassy terrain we quickly reach a junction, where the path from Krvavec joins from the right, and we continue straight to the nearby older shepherd's hut and a little further to the newer hut.
Above the hut, at the edge of the dwarf pines, we look for the continuation of the trail, which continues slightly to the right. We quickly reach a small valley, along which we first ascend gently, then moderately. From the valley we quickly move onto a crumbly slope, which we cross transversely to the right. After the crossing, which is not technically demanding, the path enters a series of smaller grassy valleys surrounded by dwarf pines. A few more minutes of gentle ascent follow, and the path brings us to the junction at Škrbina, from where a nice view opens onto the central Grintovci.
From the junction we continue right in the direction of Vrh Korena (left Kalški greben, Kalška gora and Kokrsko sedlo) and continue along the path, which ascends gently to moderately. With nice views of the surrounding mountains we soon reach a marked junction, where we continue left upwards in the direction of Vrh Korena (straight ahead Krvavec).
From the junction a roughly one-minute ascent follows, and the path brings us to the summit at almost 2000 metres.
