Dolina - Zavetišče na Kalu

Access to the starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice motorway, take the Podnart (Ljubelj) exit, then continue on the expressway towards Ljubelj and Tržič. When the expressway ends, you will see a petrol station on the right hand side, before which turn right down towards Tržič. Continue through Tržič, and we follow the narrower road towards Dovžana Gorge and on to the village of Dolina, where we park in the gravel parking lot in front of the bridge over the Tržiška River Bistrica.

Path description:
From the parking lot, cross the bridge first, then walk along the main road to the nearby chapel, where you continue left along the garden and the older dwelling house onto the forest road. Continue up the increasingly narrow and deteriorating macadam road, which leads moderately uphill along the Kališnik stream. The road soon turns into cart track, and starts to climb steeply. Higher up, we reach a water reservoir, above which the ever-narrowing cart track turns left and ends after a few metres, and we continue straight across a larger grassy hayfield, up which we climb to a slightly larger spruce tree, where signs direct us slightly right on to a steeper footpath. Continue on the steep path, which crosses a short lane of forest, and then leads to moderately steep grassy slopes, which, with fine views of Storžič and Stegovnik, ascend to the saddle of Kal, where you also step onto the forest road. From the saddle, which offers a fine view of Begunjščica, continue to the right and in a few steps you will reach the Shelter on Kal.
