Tržič - Robič (via Kamnek and Zavetišče na Kalu)

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice highway we head to the Ljubelj (Tržič) exit, then before the gas station in Bistrica pri Tržiču we turn right downhill, where we quickly arrive in Tržič. At the intersection after the Mercator store we turn left in the direction of the Tržič Museum, we however continue along Koroška cesta, which we follow through the center of the town to the nearby pizzeria. Here we turn right through the old courtyard gates and then past the parking lot for pizzeria guests and the children's playground we drive to the parking lot by the castle.

Path description:
From the parking lot by the castle we first descend the stairs, then continue left on a wide path, from which a nice view opens up on Tržič. A little further we arrive at the chapel, where we continue straight in the direction of Radetzkyjeva pot. We continue the ascent on a gently sloping path, then an arrow on a tree directs us right, where we quickly arrive at the nearby gardens. Above the gardens the path enters the forest and starts to ascend steeply. Further on, the well-marked path leads past some more junctions, then gradually transitions to an increasingly panoramic ridge. Here a marked path branches off slightly to the left, which bypasses the peak Kamnek, we continue slightly right and after 3 minutes of further walking ascend to the panoramic Kamnek (on maps Kamnik).

From Kamnek we continue straight along the initially still panoramic ridge, then the path enters a low forest and starts descending. When the path levels out, the path to Slap branches off to the right, and from the left the previously mentioned path that bypasses Kamnek joins us.

We continue straight and begin to ascend gently to moderately along the Pirmance ridge. When the ridge becomes quite steep, the marked path turns left onto somewhat less steep slopes, across which we continue diagonally to the right. After a few minutes the forest thins slightly and the path returns to the ridge, which we reach right on a smaller saddle between the peaks Pirmance and Veliki vrh.

Here an unmarked path to Veliki vrh nad Završnikom branches off slightly to the left (5 minutes), we continue slightly right onto the eastern side of the mountain, where we then cross the slopes of Veliki vrh. The slope quickly levels out and the path brings us to a grassy ridge, along which with nice views we descend to the nearby road. We merely cross the wider macadam road and continue the ascent on a wide cart track in the direction of Kofc. At the nearby weekend house the cart track ends, we continue slightly right onto a forest path, which starts ascending more steeply through the forest. The path further leads along an occasionally quite steep ridge, then both the path and the slope level out and bring us to a cart track. Down the cart track we descend to a smaller saddle, where the path from the Završnik farm joins from the left, we continue slightly right and follow the wide and gently sloping path, along which in 10 minutes of further walking we arrive at Kal, where several paths meet.

Here we continue slightly right and in a few steps walk to the nearby Zavetišče na Kalu.
From the shelter we continue along the macadam road, where we quickly reach a marked junction, where the "direct" path to Dom na Kofcah branches off to the left, we continue straight and continue further along the macadam road. A traversing ascent follows on the macadam road, from which we occasionally get a nice view of the Kamniško Savinjske Alpe, the marked path past the chapel toward the Kofce pasture then turns left uphill from the road, we follow the road to the nearby intersection.
From the intersection we continue right (sharply left we can reach Kofce) and gradually begin descending, the road lower transitions into dense forest, where we also reach the intersection of macadam roads.
We continue straight onto the poorer cart track, which continues between both roads, soon becoming quite steep. During the ascent on the cart track, looking back we get a nice view of the western peaks of Košuta, higher up the path turns left and brings us in a few minutes to the ridge, where it turns right and changes into a poorer footpath. A little further we step out of the forest onto a smaller clearing, where we reach the forepeak, from the forepeak we continue another approximately 2 minutes along the poorer footpath, which brings us to the panoramic summit.
