Smrečje - Virnikova planina

Access to starting point:
We drive to Preddvor or to the settlement Tupaliče, and then we continue driving in the direction of the settlement Zgornje Jezersko. Only a little after the road sign, which marks the end of the settlement Spodnje Jezersko, at the end of hamlet we turn left in the direction of GRZS learning center, tufa quarry, partisan hospital Krtina... Further, we drive through the valley of Komatevra, and by the path, we can observe numerous rapids and waterfalls of river Kokra. A little before the traffic sign, which from 20th July to 20th October prohibits further driving, we park on a parking lot by the road.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on a macadam road, and it quickly brings us to a smaller crossroad. We continue on wider, slightly left road, by which there is a gate and which still continues by the river Kokra. The road higher makes two hairpin turns and it brings us to a marked crossroad below abandoned homestead Robnik (on some maps also Robenik).
From the crossroad, we continue on the right road in the direction of GRZS learning center (left Komatevra and partisan hospital Krtina), and soon a nice view opens up on the highest peaks of Kamnik Savinja Alps. Further, we are ascending on slopes of the peak Robniške peči, and after crossing a stream we pass on slopes of Virnikov Grintovec, and to the mountain pasture Virnikova planina separates us only few minutes of ascent.

Trip can be extended to: Robniške peči ( 55 min)
