I met this guy myself twice. When he reaches the top, he doesn't greet back, kneels by the stone and immediately heads back without a word, later I saw him cycling past my house towards Kranj.

To Stegovnik

Suhadolnik is the starting point for Kočna and Cojzova koča. Despite all paths from here being closed, today at the starting point there were at least twenty cars. I went alone to Cojzova koča via the abandoned German path. The path start is destroyed, the path appears a bit further from the wedge under the wall. If you don't find it, it's better to turn back. From there the path is traceable, only the crossings of all gullies are a bit annoying. I ascended straight up to Kalška gora via the abandoned path. This time surely the last, slowly approaching the seventies, becoming a bit clumsy. From Kalška gora to Kalški greben and then also the last time via Neškarjev plaz to the starting point. The landscape is completely changed, full of scree and awkward jumps. I slipped several times, luckily without consequences. For the path I used a good six hours. No length, elevation or gps.

You park at the end of the road, plenty of space. No one lives here, just an abandoned weekend house, Murnovo is below. But you'll have problems finding the marked trail. Usual starting point is at Jezersko by the church, can park at Kazina too. But from there it's much longer with quite some gravel.

The most beautiful and easiest approach is along the pathless western ridge.

First to Čemšenik, then to Baba, at Volčje jame left to Potoška gora back on the same path, then to Javorov vrh, back to Volčje jame then continue on panoramic to Krems. On descent from Krems where the fence ends turn left onto steep cart track so you avoid the road. Potoška and Javorov vrh take you an hour to an hour and a half. Warning. Around Krems there are tons of ticks. Sometimes the connection between Krems and Čemšenik was abandoned because of them.

Well, I have to chime in on the last comment. Today I went to Mali Grintovec. From winter gear I only had snowshoes with me. True snow melts fast, but not that fast. The path is almost entirely bare. As proof I'm attaching pics, believe whom you want.
