Kriška planina - Veliki Zvoh

Access to starting point:
A) From the highway Ljubljana - Jesenice, take the Vodice exit, then continue driving to the first traffic-light intersection in Vodice, where you continue left in the direction of Cerklje na Gorenjskem and Brnik. When you arrive at the main roundabout in Spodnji Brnik, continue driving in the direction of Cerklje and the Krvavec ski area. At the end of the settlement Cerklje na Gorenjskem, leave the main road, which continues towards Velesovo and Visoko, and continue slightly right onto the road in the direction of the Krvavec ski area. Further 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: bottom station of the circular-cabin cable car to Krvavec and Štefanja Gora). When the steepness on the steep road eases a bit, you will reach an intersection, where you continue left in the direction of the settlement Ambrož pod Krvavcem (straight ahead: settlements Ravne, Apno and Šenturška Gora). A little further, the road temporarily descends a little, then ascends through occasionally quite panoramic 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 arranged parking lot. Here, the road flattens and turns left; about 500 m further, it brings you to an intersection, where you continue right in the direction of Kriška planina (straight ahead: upper station of the circular-cabin cable car and Planinski dom na Gospincu). There follows only a short steep ascent, and you 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 the path by approximately 15 minutes.
B) From the highway Jesenice - Ljubljana, take the Kranj - east exit, then continue driving towards Brnik, Komenda and Mengeš. When you arrive at the main roundabout in Spodnji Brnik, continue driving in the direction of Cerklje and the Krvavec ski area. At the end of the settlement Cerklje na Gorenjskem, leave the main road, which continues towards Velesovo and Visoko, and continue slightly right onto the road in the direction of the Krvavec ski area. Further 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: bottom station of the circular-cabin cable car to Krvavec and Štefanja Gora). When the steepness on the steep road eases a bit, you will reach an intersection, where you continue left in the direction of the settlement Ambrož pod Krvavcem (straight ahead: settlements Ravne, Apno and Šenturška Gora). A little further, the road temporarily descends a little, then ascends through occasionally quite panoramic 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 arranged parking lot. Here, the road flattens and turns left; about 500 m further, it brings you to an intersection, where you continue right in the direction of Kriška planina (straight ahead: upper station of the circular-cabin cable car and Planinski dom na Gospincu). There follows only a short steep ascent, and you 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 the path by approximately 15 minutes.

Route description:
From the parking lot, head onto a wide cart track that goes under the cableway and starts to ascend over the pastures (direction Dom na Krvavcu mountain hut). The moderately steep path brings us to the Dom na Krvavcu mountain hut after a little less than 30 minutes of walking, from which a nice view opens towards Gorenjska. From the mountain hut, continue in the direction of Zvoh on the road that passes the chapel and transmitters on Krvavec and brings us to the Razor saddle (saddle between the Krvavec peak and Veliki Zvoh), where there is a road intersection. Continue straight along the ridge (right to 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 lake on Veliki Zvoh. From the lake, ascend to the nearby summit, then walk over the wire fence to the summit logbook box, which is located just a few steps below the summit.

Along the route: Dom na Krvavcu mountain hut (1684m), Razor (1809m)

The trip can be extended to the following destinations: Vrh Korena, Kalška gora, Kalški greben (2 h 45 min)

We recommend: trips from the same starting point, similar trips, panorama, summit register
