Spodnja Kokra - Mali Grintovec

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice highway we take the exit Kranj - east and follow the road ahead in the direction of Jezersko. Only a few kilometers after the turn-off for Preddvor we will notice a transformer on the right side of the road and a parking lot by it, where we park. Here are also signposts for the mountain hut Dom Čemšenik.

Path description:
From the parking lot first carefully cross the road, then head to the footpath in the direction of the mountain hut Dom Čemšenik. The wide path barely noticeably ascends to the homestead Polajnar, where we step onto the road, which we follow to the right.
The road steeply ascends just after the house, losing the asphalt covering a little higher. Further the road flattens and turns a little to the left, where it comes right up to the Čemšeniški potok stream. A little further we cross the mentioned stream and immediately after it we come to the marked intersection, where we continue on the left road in the direction of the mountain hut Dom Čemšenik. The road then starts to ascend more steeply again and brings us to the mountain hut Dom Čemšenik after less than 30 minutes of further walking.
From the mountain hut Dom Čemšenik we continue in the direction of Javorov vrh (on the sign Javorjev vrh) on the path which goes into the forest after a few meters. The initially moderately steep path soon brings us to a torrent gully, along which we then ascend for some time. Higher the path turns to the right and ascends even steeper. We follow this relatively steep path, which runs through dense forest the whole time, all the way to the junction on the saddle between Potoška gora on the left and Javorov vrh on the right.
We continue right (left Potoška gora and Sveti Jakob) on a moderately steep path, which after a short ascent brings us to the southwestern ridge of Javorov vrh, from which some views open towards Cjanovca. The path goes into dense forest again a little further, where we come to the next well-marked junction.
Here we continue left in the direction of Srednji vrh, Kališče and Storžič (straight Javorov vrh 15 minutes) on the path which after a few more steps brings us to a pleasant spring. Next follows a half-hour crossing of the slopes below Javorov vrh, which ends on the saddle between the mentioned peak and Cjanovca.
On the saddle the path from Javorov vrh joins us, and we continue left in the direction of Hudičev boršt (straight Cjanovca and Srednji vrh). The path further crosses the slopes towards the west, then brings us out of the forest onto the panoramic southern slopes of Cjanovca. Next follows crossing of occasionally steeper grassy slopes, which ends on the edge of the forest Hudičev boršt. From here the path ascends a bit more steeply and after a few minutes of further walking brings us to the shelter Zavetišče v Hudičevem borštu.
From the shelter we continue towards the west, where we quickly reach the spring in Hudičev boršt, right after it to the marked junction, where we continue straight (left downhill Mačenska pot to Mače). Next follows a short crossing of a grassy slope, then the path goes into the forest and brings us to the next junction.
This time we continue right in the direction of Cjanovca, Srednji vrh and Mali Grintovec (straight to the mountain hut Dom na Kališču and one of the paths by which we can descend to Mače) on the path which starts ascending steeper through the forest. The quite steep path brings us higher into a smaller valley, where the forest thins, and the path flattens. After a few minutes of walking in the mentioned valley the path turns to the right, ascends steeper and after a short ascent brings us to the hut on Dolga njiva.
Here is a junction, where we head to the less trodden path which goes horizontally behind the hut (along the valley upwards). The path then starts gently ascending along the Dolga njiva valley and after good 20 minutes of walking brings us to the saddle, where there is the next junction. We go left following the signs Mali Grintovec (right Srednji vrh). The path then moderately ascends over the slope, which is partly overgrown with dwarf pines. After this short ascent we come to the ridge, where the path from Kališče and Bašeljski vrh joins. We continue right on the path which in a few minutes of further walking brings us to the summit.
