Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Kranj - east and follow the road ahead in the direction of Jezersko, but only to the village Kokra. In the mentioned village, we will only a few meters before the road crosses a bridge over the river Kokra, notice a road which runs towards Suhadolnik. The turn-off of the road is located when we are on the right side of the river (left bank), the road sign is approximately 7 km. We follow this road to a parking lot, which is located approximately 200 m before the farm Suhadolnik.
Path description:
At the beginning of the parking lot, we notice hiking signposts, which point us onto a road, on which in less than 5 minutes of walking we arrive at a smaller crossroad at the farm Suhadolnik. Here we continue on the right road, which we follow for approximately 5 minutes, or to the spot where the blazes lead us onto an ascending cart track. Further, for a short time we ascend on the cart track, then the blazes direct us right onto a footpath which moderately ascends through the forest. Higher, we return to the cart track, which only a few meters ahead brings us to a forest road, which we then follow to its end (to here we need approximately half an hour).
At the end of the road the marked path splits into two parts. We continue on the left path (right somewhat easier "Old path"), which further ascends on a gentle cart track. A little further the blazes direct us slightly right onto torrent deposits of sand, and the path on the other side continues through the forest, where it starts to ascend steeper and steeper. Higher, we come to a smaller cavity, and the path behind it becomes technically demanding. With the help of a steel cable we ascend one level higher, and the path then continues on a steep slope, where occasionally some peg helps us. Higher, the path turns to the right, ascends transversely over steep and especially in wet slippery-dangerous slopes and then brings us to an excellently secured passage. With the help of wooden steps or ladder and help of a steel cable, we ascend the steep slope, which without the mentioned protections would be very dangerous. Higher some pegs help us, the path then flattens and crosses a short exposed slope, where an emergency fence helps us. Only a little further we come to the next ladder, by which there is no steel cable, but the passage is not particularly demanding. Follows a short descent into a smaller gully and then we cross it too. On the other side of the gully we steeply ascend (some pegs help us), after which the path slowly flattens and in a few 10 steps of further walking brings us to the spot where the somewhat easier "Old path" joins.
Follows a short transverse ascent and the path brings us to a larger plain, where once stood the "old hut". Through high grasses we walk to the other side of the plain, where we arrive at a marked junction. At the junction we go left following the signs Dolci, Kokrška Kočna. The path then starts steeply ascending on a poorly trodden path over a grassy slope. Soon we turn slightly to the left and cross steep exposed slopes. The path then starts slightly descending and crosses Grdi graben. We start ascending again on a steep slope and then the path brings us to gentle grassy slopes (Srednji Dolci). From the right the path from Kokrsko sedlo joins us, a few meters later we are again at a junction. We go left towards the bivouac and Kokrska Kočna, right leads the path towards Dolška škrbina and then further towards Jezerska Kočna or Grintovec. The path then crosses scree to the left and ascends over a short gully.
A little above the gully an unmarked path towards Bivak pod Kočno branches off to the left, which we can already see and which is only a few minutes' walk from the marked path.
