Suhadolnik - Kalška gora

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice highway, we take the Kranj - East exit and follow the road ahead towards Jezersko, but only to the village of Kokra. In the mentioned village, we will notice, just a few meters before the road crosses the bridge over the Kokra River, a road that leads towards Suhadolnik. The road turn-off is located when we are on the right side of the river (left bank), the road marker is approximately 7 km. We then follow this road to the parking lot, which is located approximately 300 meters before the Suhadolnik farm.

Path description:
At the beginning of the parking lot, we notice hiking signposts, which direct us onto a road, along which in less than 5 minutes of walking we arrive at a smaller crossroads by the Suhadolnik farm. Here we continue along the right road, following it for another approximately 5 minutes, i.e., to the place where the blazes lead us onto an ascending cart track. Further on, we ascend the cart track for a short time, then the blazes direct us right onto a footpath that moderately ascends through the forest. Higher up, we return to the cart track, which only a few meters further 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 along the left path (right somewhat easier "Old path"), which further ascends along a gentle cart track. A little further on, the blazes direct us slightly right onto torrent sand deposits, and the path on the other side continues through the forest, where it begins to ascend ever steeper. Higher, we reach 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 along a steep slope, where some pegs occasionally assist us. Higher, the path turns right, ascends transversely across steep and especially slippery when wet slopes, and brings us to an excellently secured passage. With the help of wooden steps or a ladder and the assistance of a steel cable, we ascend the steep slope, which would be very dangerous without the mentioned protections. Higher, a few more pegs assist us, the path then flattens and crosses a short exposed slope, where an emergency fence helps us. Just a little further, we reach the next ladder, next to which there is no steel cable, but the passage is not particularly demanding. A short descent into a smaller gully follows, which we then cross. On the other side of the gully, we ascend steeply (assisted by some staples), then the path gradually flattens and brings us in a few dozen steps of further walking to the place where the somewhat easier "Old path" joins.
A short transverse ascent follows, and the path brings us to a larger plain, where the "old hut" once stood. Through tall grass, we walk to the other side of the plain, where we arrive at a marked junction.
We continue straight ahead (left to Kočna via Grdi graben) along a moderately steep path, which further ascends through a belt of shrubs. Higher, the path temporarily flattens completely, then brings us among the dwarf pines, where it begins to ascend more steeply. We follow this somewhat steeper path, from which increasingly beautiful views open up, all the way to the Cojzova koča at Kokrsko sedlo.
From the saddle, we continue right along the marked path in the direction of Kalški greben and Krvavec. The path ahead first continues along and beside the ridge, then brings us to a crumbly gully, which we ascend via a slightly exposed passage. The path ahead ascends more steeply, then transitions to the scree slopes of Kalška gora (here at the start of the scree, we will notice the old climbing path to Kalška gora, which has been abandoned for several years). Traversing the scree follows (snow patches possible in early summer), then the path turns left into the wall, where it ascends very steeply. During the ascent on the relatively crumbly wall, fixed protections (mostly pegs) and numerous holds assist us. The wall flattens somewhat higher, and the path brings us after a few minutes of further walking to a small saddle, where there is a junction.
From the saddle, from which a nice view opens onto the Kalce, we continue left in the direction of Kalška gora (slightly right to Krvavec, right to Kalški greben). The path ahead transitions to steep and especially slippery when wet grassy slopes. We follow this further relatively gentle path all the way to Kalška gora, which we reach after a good 5 minutes of further walking.
Suhadolnik - Kokrsko sedlo 2:30, Kokrsko sedlo - Kalška gora 1:00.
