Path description:
From the lower station of the round-cabin cable car at Krvavec, continue along the asphalt road towards Štefanji Gora, and walk along it to the first left turn, in the middle of which a marked path branches off to the right, at first a worse road towards Krvavec. The worse road, along which we continue our ascent, climbs up the right bank of the Rijeka River, and we go a little higher, at a marked crossroads, to the left in the direction of Davovec and the upper station of the cable car. There is a short steeper climb and then we reach cart track, which we follow to the left. The cart track gets worse and worse, and we continue along the forest path, which in parts follows the same route as the downhill track, so caution is advised. Higher up, a marked trail branches off to the right from the marked path towards the Davovec Memorial Park, and we continue to the left and after a few minutes of further climbing we reach an abandoned house and, behind it, ruins and an information board. Here, another path branches off to the right towards the aforementioned park, and we continue straight ahead along a wider and, later on, quite steep path, which we follow all the way to the Davovec saddle, where we reach the wide cart track.
When you reach cart track, continue to the left and in a few steps you will reach a marked crossroads, at which there is a sign and a nice bench.
Continue straight on in the direction of Kope (Kokra on the right), then after a few steps, when one cart track turns slightly left and starts descending, and the other starts climbing, continue parallel to the upper track, which is joined at a higher level by a passage. After a short section where you follow cart track, then continue slightly right again, following the path as it climbs along a wooded ridge. There is a short climb, and then you reach the vegetated summit of Kopa.
From Kopa, continue straight on in the direction Skutman, following the path which starts descending along a wooded ridge. When the descent ends after about 15 minutes, we arrive at a small saddle, where there is a marked crossroads, and we continue straight on in the direction of Skutman (Možjanca and Štefanja Gora on the left).
From the crossroads onwards, the path initially continues without major changes in altitude, then descends transiently, and then climbs steeply and leads us in a minute or two of further walking to the top of Skutman.
The path is marked up to the Davovec saddle, and from there on it is only marked.
Description and pictures refer to the situation in 2016 (April).
