Path description:
From the starting point, continue left on the less good road, and after a few 10 paces, continue left from the crossroads and continue walking along the wide ascending cart track. For some time, we climb crosswise to the left, where the path leads us past a small spring, and then we continue sharp right in the direction of Razpok. A little further on, cart track turns left again, and at the next crossroads go right again towards Razpoku. There is some cross-climbing to the right and cart track turns into a woodland path, which is slightly less well trodden but can be followed quite well, and there are some older markings higher up along the way. During the ascent, we occasionally get some views towards Karawanks and part of Kamnik Savinja Alps, and the path also leads us past a small sign. The path, which mostly passes through the forest, crosses cart track higher up, and then a few minutes of further walking leads us to a macadam road, where we also step onto the edge of the Razpoka, where a few huts stand a little further on, and from the edge of the plateau, at one of the huts, we also get a wonderful view of Gorenjska and the Alps.
From Razpoka, where you step onto a wider macadam road, continue to the right and continue walking along the macadam road, which leads us along the edge of the plateau. During a slight descent, we occasionally get a nice view of Karawanks, and a little further on Julian Alps, where we can see Triglav. The road continues along the edge of Jelovica, retreats slightly to the left and leads us to Ažmanov rovt, where a few cottages stand.
Kolnica - Razpok 1:30, Razpok - Ažmanov rovt 0:30.
