Kriška planina - Kalški greben (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 we turn left toward Cerklje na Gorenjskem and Brnik. When we reach the main roundabout in Spodnji Brnik, continue driving toward Cerklje and the Krvavec ski area. At the end of the settlement Cerklje na Gorenjskem, leave the main road, which continues toward Velesovo and Visoko, and continue slightly right onto the road toward the Krvavec ski area. Further on, we arrive at the village of Grad, where signs for the settlement Ambrož pod Krvavcem direct us right onto a steep asphalt road (straight: lower station of the circular cable car to Krvavec and Štefanja Gora). When the gradient on the steep road eases slightly, we reach an intersection, where we continue left toward the settlement Ambrož pod Krvavcem (straight: settlements Ravne, Apno, and Šenturška Gora). A little further, the road temporarily descends slightly, then ascends through occasionally quite panoramic slopes. Higher up, we reach Ambrož pod Krvavcem, where we pass the church of St. Ambrož and the tourist farm Pr Ambružarju on the left side. From the tourist farm onward, the road enters the forest and ascends through it all the way to the mountain pasture Jezerca, where there is a large arranged parking lot. Here, the road flattens and turns left; about 500 m further, it brings us to an intersection, where we continue right toward Kriška planina (straight: upper station of the circular cable car and Planinski dom na Gospincu mountain hut). Only a short steep ascent follows, and we arrive at the parking lot on the edge of Kriška planina.
Now the road from the mountain pasture Jezerca to Kriška planina is closed to public traffic; this extends our route by about 15 minutes.
B) From the Jesenice - Ljubljana highway, take the Kranj - east exit, then continue driving toward Brnik, Komenda, and Mengeš. When we reach the main roundabout in Spodnji Brnik, continue driving toward Cerklje and the Krvavec ski area. At the end of the settlement Cerklje na Gorenjskem, leave the main road, which continues toward Velesovo and Visoko, and continue slightly right onto the road toward the Krvavec ski area. Further on, we arrive at the village of Grad, where signs for the settlement Ambrož pod Krvavcem direct us right onto a steep asphalt road (straight: lower station of the circular cable car to Krvavec and Štefanja Gora). When the gradient on the steep road eases slightly, we reach an intersection, where we continue left toward the settlement Ambrož pod Krvavcem (straight: settlements Ravne, Apno, and Šenturška Gora). A little further, the road temporarily descends slightly, then ascends through occasionally quite panoramic slopes. Higher up, we reach Ambrož pod Krvavcem, where we pass the church of St. Ambrož and the tourist farm Pr Ambružarju on the left side. From the tourist farm onward, the road enters the forest and ascends through it all the way to the mountain pasture Jezerca, where there is a large arranged parking lot. Here, the road flattens and turns left; about 500 m further, it brings us to an intersection, where we continue right toward Kriška planina (straight: upper station of the circular cable car and Planinski dom na Gospincu mountain hut). Only a short steep ascent follows, and we arrive at the parking lot on the edge of Kriška planina.
Now the road from the mountain pasture Jezerca to Kriška planina is closed to public traffic; this extends our route by about 15 minutes.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we head onto a wide cart track that goes under the cable car and begins to ascend over pastures (direction Dom na Krvavcu mountain hut). The moderately steep path brings us to the Dom na Krvavcu hut after a little less than 30 minutes of walking, from which a nice view opens toward Gorenjska.
From the hut, we continue toward Zvoh on the road that takes us past the chapel and transmitters on Krvavec to the Razor saddle (saddle between Krvavec peak and Veliki Zvoh), where there is a road intersection. We continue straight along the ridge (right: Krvavec peak, 5 minutes) and follow 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 ascend to the nearby summit, then cross the wire fence to the logbook box, which is located just a few steps below the summit.
From Veliki Zvoh, we continue on the marked path along the ridge named Jež-a. The relatively easy ridge path starts descending after a few minutes of walking and brings us to a technically demanding spot. With the help of steel cable, we ascend the steep and crumbly gully, which is exposed to falling rocks. The gully is short but long enough to cause great difficulties for inexperienced hikers. The difficulties then disappear, and we follow the pleasant path, which mostly runs along the ridge, to two consecutive junctions. At the first, the path to Mokrica and mountain pasture Koren branches off right and downward; at the second, the path to Vrh Korena branches off right and upward (1 minute). This is followed by an approximately 15-minute descent down a slope that is partly overgrown with dwarf pines. At the end of the descent, the path brings us to a junction on Škrbina.
Here we continue straight toward Kalški greben and Cojzova koča hut on 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) on the path that begins to ascend gently over 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 up, the path brings us to the scenic main ridge, which we then follow to the summit, which is often full of sheep droppings.
