Planina Jezerca - Veliki Zvoh (on unmarked path via Razor)

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 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 resort. At the end of the settlement Cerklje na Gorenjskem, leave the main road which continues towards Velesovo and Visoko and continue driving slightly right onto the road in the direction of the Krvavec ski resort. Further on, arrive at the village of Grad, where signs for the settlement Ambrož pod Krvavcem direct you right onto a steep asphalt road (straight ahead to the bottom station of the circular cable car to Krvavec and Štefanja Gora). When the steepness of the steep road decreases a little, you will arrive at an intersection, where continue left in the direction of the settlement Ambrož pod Krvavcem (straight to the settlements Ravne, Apno and Šenturška Gora). A little further, the road temporarily descends a little, then ascends through occasionally quite panoramic slopes. Higher up, arrive at Ambrož pod Krvavcem, where on the left side bypass the church of St. Ambrož and the tourist farm Pr Ambružarju. From the tourist farm onwards, the road passes into the forest and ascends through it all the way to the mountain pasture Jezerca, where there is a large arranged parking lot.
B) From the Jesenice - Ljubljana highway, 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 resort. At the end of the settlement Cerklje na Gorenjskem, leave the main road which continues towards Velesovo and Visoko and continue driving slightly right onto the road in the direction of the Krvavec ski resort. Further on, arrive at the village of Grad, where signs for the settlement Ambrož pod Krvavcem direct you right onto a steep asphalt road (straight ahead to the bottom station of the circular cable car to Krvavec and Štefanja Gora). When the steepness of the steep road decreases a little, you will arrive at an intersection, where continue left in the direction of the settlement Ambrož pod Krvavcem (straight to the settlements Ravne, Apno and Šenturška Gora). A little further, the road temporarily descends a little, then ascends through occasionally quite panoramic slopes. Higher up, arrive at Ambrož pod Krvavcem, where on the left side bypass the church of St. Ambrož and the tourist farm Pr Ambružarju. From the tourist farm onwards, the road passes into the forest and ascends through it all the way to the mountain pasture Jezerca, where there is a large arranged parking lot.

Route description:
At the end of the parking lot, where the road turns left, and to the right a road branches off towards the nearby mountain pasture Jezerca, we will notice red hiking signposts that direct us straight onto a marked footpath in the direction of Kriška planina, Vrh Korena, Košutna, Kompotela and Mokrica, which ascends through the pastures of the already mentioned mountain pasture. After a short ascent, we reach a cart track, which we follow to the left, crossing the slopes of Kržišče (1658 m). The cart track on which we are walking quickly splits into two parts, and we continue straight on the lower one. Temporarily, a nice view opens towards Kranj, Škofjeloško hribovje and Storžič, then the path begins to descend lightly. A few more minutes of walking follow, then we arrive at the parking lot by the lower part of Kriška planina.
From the parking lot, continue in the direction of the mountain pasture Koren and continue the path on a poorer macadam road that goes through an underpass under the ski slope. The marked path after the underpass turns slightly left from the road, so that it continues parallel to the road along a sort of spruce avenue. When, after a few minutes of gentle ascent, we arrive at the eastern edge of Kriška planina, where there is a smaller watering place for animals, we continue slightly left across the grazing fence (right Planina Osredek and Kamniški vrh), but the gentle ascent continues in approximately the same direction. The path ahead from the mountain pasture passes onto somewhat steeper slopes of Krvavec, across which we ascend transversely to a vantage point from which a nice view opens towards Kržišče (Pokovše), the ridge of Kamniški vrh, the Korošica valley, Velika planina, and towards the nearby Košutna and Veliki Zvoh.
From the vantage point, which is located a few steps right from the path, we begin to descend more steeply towards the hunting hut above the Korošica valley. When the descent stops and the path continues without major changes in elevation, we will arrive at a visible but poorly marked junction, where to the right a path branches off to the previously mentioned hunting hut and further towards the Korošica valley and the Kamniška Bistrica valley. At the mentioned junction, continue slightly left and begin to ascend gently through the forest. The path quickly leaves the forest into bushes and dwarf pines, then gradually brings us across the grazing fence to the next unmarked junction, which is located right in the middle of a sharp right bend.
The marked footpath towards Planina Koren continues sharply right, but we continue straight on a less trodden but still nicely traceable path that further to the left crosses the slopes below Veliki Zvoh. During the crossing, we soon cross a smaller gully, crossing which in dry conditions poses no problems; if there is still snow in the gully, which can happen in late spring or early summer, the passage is dangerous as the gully ends with a drop. Further on, the path ascends transversely, and besides nice views we can also admire various mountain flowers (Carniolan lily, Turk's cap lily...). Higher up, the path leads across a smaller scree and an interesting rocky cliff. The cliff, on which there is a memorial marker, we bypass on the left side, then gradually pass into a belt where the path is temporarily somewhat more overgrown. When the overgrown section ends, continue slightly right, then on a less visible path in a few minutes ascend to the edge of the Krvavec ski slopes.
We reach the ski slope at the Razor saddle, where we must first cross the safety fence, then continue right towards Veliki Zvoh (left Krvavec and Dom na Krvavcu) to the nearby red signposts, which are located a little before the junction where a marked path branches slightly left towards Planina Dolgi njivi. Here too, continue straight and begin to ascend steeply along the transport-rescue road, which is paved on the steepest part. Higher up, the steepness gradually eases, and the path brings us to an accumulation lake intended for snowmaking on the ski slope. Bypass the lake on the left side, then continue slightly right and in a few minutes ascend to the panoramic summit of Zvoh.
The stamp and logbook are located somewhat below the summit, namely along the marked path that continues towards Vrh Korena.
During the operation of the ski resort, walking on the part of the path where it runs across the ski slope is prohibited.
