Spodnja Kokra - Kriška planina (over Davovec and on ridge of Trdovnik)

Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Kranj - east and follow the road ahead in the direction of Zgornje Jezersko. In the village Kokra, at the road sign between 10.5 and 10km road towards Spodnja Kokra branches off to the right downwards (by the crossroad there are also signposts). Immediately after the road crosses the river Kokra we park on a parking lot by the road.

Path description:
At the beginning of the parking lot, we notice a blaze, which points us right on a footpath which is ascending on overgrown stairs. The path then flattens and higher brings us on the road which we follow to the right. After a short ascent, we come to a smaller crossroad, where we continue right, and we follow the road only few ten meters to a decaying house. At decaying house blazes point us on a cart track (road here turns right), which we then follow only a short time because marked path turns right and past a cross brings us to a stream. The path mentioned stream crosses and behind it starts ascending steeper. The steepness soon decreases and the path in a moderate ascent, which almost entirely runs through the forest, after a good hour of walking, it brings us to the ridge and indistinct saddle Davovec, where there is a marked crossing.
From the crossing, we continue left in the direction of Krvavec (right Kopa and Štefanja Gora) on a cart track. After few steps from the crossing from the right joins also the marked path from bottom station of the cable car on Krvavec, and we follow the marked path towards Krvavec to partisan monument. A little further from the monument cart track splits into two parts.
We continue on the right cart track (on left we return on a marked path towards Krvavec) in the direction of the path second detachment group and Kriška planina. On the cart track, we walk diagonally towards the right, and then after route of the cable car for some time we ascend a little more. Some 10 meters further from the left turn, where the cart track flattens, the footpath branches off to the left, by which we will further notice signs in the shape of red star (on the right cart track we quickly get to the nearby water catchment). Further, we at first cross partly overgrown clearing, from which a view opens up a little towards Gorenjska, and then the path passes into the forest, where at first leads by site of wild garlic and past a smaller well. Next follows a short crossing on a less steep slope, and then we reach forest broad ridge, after which slope becomes quite steep. Next follows traversing, where we get help from some sort of fixed safety gear, which are on the bottom side of slope, so that they serve more as a fence. Slope soon becomes a bit less steep, and the footpath is still poorly visible and the right path is shown by red stars. Next follows traversing of Srednji graben, and then we start ascending diagonally towards the ridge of Trdovnik. Also further we follow red stars, here and there some have also gold-yellow border. A worse footpath, by which there are situated also some cairns, diagonally on a steep slope brings us on the ridge of Trdovnik, where we reach easier to follow footpath which comes from Lukenjski graben.
When we reach the ridge "blazes" in the shape of red stars end, and we are further ascending on a distinct ridge. For some time we are ascending relatively steeply on a forested ridge of Trdovnik, and then we step on a cart track which turns left, and on first crossing we continue right. On the cart track, we quickly come out of the forest, and the path few 10 strides ahead, at smaller hunting observatory splits into two parts.
We continue left in the direction of Kriška planina (straight mountain pasture Jezerca) and after a shorter gentle ascent we reach the road which runs towards the upper station of the cable car on Krvavec. The mentioned road, we reach right at the smaller crossroad, from which we continue straight upwards in the direction of the mountain dairy Pr Florjan and tourist farm Viženčar. Next follows a short steeper ascent and we get to Kriška planina, where there are situated mentioned two mountain dairies.
