The Kot valley - Macesnovec

Access to starting point:
From Mojstrana we drive along the road that leads to Radovna, before the road starts descending towards Radovna and Krma, we turn right onto the turn-off of the forest road into Kot Valley (marked with a signpost). Along the narrow, well-maintained forest road we drive to the parking lot on Lengarjev Rovt.

Path description:
From the parking lot we first walk for quite some time along the marked path that leads to Staničeva koča mountain hut. The path is in places slightly exposed, at the most exposed spots secured with a few pegs and two steel cables.
When we come to the small spring that we spot on the left side beside the path (a short section of a gutter is placed there so that we can fill our water bottles, next to it on a smaller rock the inscription "drži čistočo"), we should pay attention: about 50 m ahead, an unmarked path branches off to the left upwards from the marked path, namely just before the marked path turns right across the torrent gully.
The unmarked but well-visible trail climbs quite steeply towards the large scree slope, soon splitting into two - right (upper) and left (lower). Both trails join again higher up. The lower (left) one ascends quite evenly across the scree and among the dwarf pines (often marked with cairns), the upper (right) one first climbs quite steeply across the scree, then leads in a gentle ascent without major pronounced steep sections to the point where both paths join again. From there the path continues mostly very steeply up the slope, in a sparse larch forest and dwarf pines, exposed in quite a few places (slip hazard), but easy to follow throughout. A little below the summit the path crosses the ridge to the other side (until then we were on the slope above Kot, from there on the slope above Krma). Just below the summit the dwarf pines entirely replace the previously dominant larches. The summit itself is rocky and covered in grass.
