Podljubelj - Zavetišče na Kalu

Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Jesenice, we take the exit Podtabor (Tržič, Ljubelj), then continue driving towards Ljubelj. After approximately 6 km of driving from the gas station at Bistrica pri Tržiču, we leave the main road, because the signs for Podljubelj direct us to the right onto a local road. A little further, we arrive at the next crossroad, where we continue right and then after some 10 meters park at a suitable place in the middle of the village.

Route description:
From the starting point, we walk to the primary school in Podljubelj; there at the crossroad we continue left in the direction of Kal and Kofce. The path initially runs along a macadam road that moderately ascends beside the Jezernica stream. When a few minutes higher the road makes a longer right turn, we leave it and continue slightly left on a wide and marked cart track. The cart track or worse road ends somewhat higher at the decaying house, and we continue on the worse cart track, which passes into the forest. For a short time we still ascend on the right side of the stream, then we cross it and move to the left side. A little further, we arrive at another stream, along which we ascend to the nearby homestead. We bypass the house on the right side, and then immediately behind it go left. A few meters higher the blazes direct us right onto a grassy slope, along the edge of which we ascend to the nearby wooden cottage. Here the path turns slightly left and a little further crosses a pasture fence. For some time the poorly visible trail continues across the pasture straight upwards, then when we leave the pasture it passes into the forest and somewhat higher crosses a cart track. We continue straight past a larger rock and continue the ascent in the direction of Kal. The path continues along a smaller valley and occasionally ascends more steeply. Higher we reach the cart track, along which we quickly exit the forest and ascend to the nearby Zavetišče na Kalu.

The trip can be extended to the following destinations: Robič ( 55 min), Dom na Kofcah, Kofce gora, Veliko Kladivo
