Tržič (Čegelše) - Robič (via Zavetišče na Kalu)

Access to starting point:
We drive to Tržič, then from Predilniška Road we turn left in the direction of Podljubelj. Further on, we drive through the old town core, and at the crossroads we still follow the signs for Podljubelj. The road ahead leads us along Koroška Road, where on the right we soon notice small gardens, and behind them a mountain signpost for Kofce past Završnik. At the mentioned signpost the described path begins, but since there are no organized parking spots at the starting point, we must park higher along the road, or already in the center of Tržič.

Route description:
From the asphalt road signs for Kofce direct us onto a cart track, which starts to ascend moderately. The cart track first crosses the slopes to the left, then transitions into an indistinct little valley, where a marked path branches off slightly to the left from the cart track (if we continue on the cart track we arrive at the climbing area). We continue on the marked path, and after a minute or two we return to the cart track, which we follow to the left. Further on we walk on a new cart track, from which we go left soon, and the branch-off is harder to notice due to the rough terrain.

The path ahead leads us on a gently sloping mountain path, which crosses slopes towards the left. A little further another path joins us from the left, and we arrive at a smaller ridge just a few 10 steps further, where an unmarked little path branches off to the right towards Veliki vrh above Završnik.

We continue on the marked path, which ascends transversely through the forest for some time, then leads us past a smaller weekend cottage. A little further the path widens into a cart track, along which we arrive at the Završnik farm, where we bypass the houses on the left side. For a short time we continue on the access road, then we go right and a few steps further we cross another road.

We continue towards Kofce, and quickly reach the next cart track, along which we ascend with initially nice views towards Dobrča and Begunjščica, then the cart track enters the forest. Higher we ascend partly on the cart track, partly on marked shortcuts. A short panoramic section follows and from the right another path joins us, which leads from the center of Tržič and goes over Kamnek.

We continue on the gently sloping path, which further crosses the slopes of Kobla, then brings us out of the forest onto the Kal saddle, where there is a marked junction.

We continue slightly right towards Kofce and in a few 10 steps of further walking we arrive at Zavetišče na Kalu.
From the shelter we continue on the macadam road, where we quickly arrive at a marked junction, where the "direct" path towards Dom na Kofcah branches off to the left, we continue straight and continue the path further on the macadam road. A transverse ascent on the macadam road follows, from which a nice view occasionally opens up towards the Kamniško Savinjske Alpe, the marked path past the chapel towards the Kofce mountain pasture then turns left uphill from the road, and we follow the road to the nearby crossroads.
From the crossroads we continue right (sharply left we can arrive at Kofce) and gradually start to descend, and the road lower transitions into dense forest, where we also reach a junction of macadam roads.
We continue straight onto the worse cart track, which continues between both roads, and soon becomes quite steep. During the ascent on the cart track a nice view opens up towards the western peaks of Košuta when looking back, higher the path turns left and brings us onto the ridge in a few minutes, where it turns right and changes into a worse little path. Just a little further we step out of the forest onto a smaller clearing, where we reach the forepeak, and from the forepeak we continue still approximately 2 minutes on the worse little path, which brings us to the panoramic peak.
Tržič (Čegelše) - Zavetišče na Kalu 2:00, Zavetišče na Kalu - Robič 0:55.
