Črni Kal - Koprivnik (bottom path)

Access to the starting point:
From Škofja Loka we drive towards Gorenjska vas, but only as far as the village Poljane above Škofja Loka. Here we continue to the right in the direction of the village of Javorje, following the ascending road, which leads us higher into the village. In the said village, from where we also join the road with Zapreval, we continue to the left in the direction of Blegoš (the crossroads are well marked). The road, which further crosses a few hamlets, leads us higher to a crossroads of several roads (Črni Kal), where there is also a slightly larger parking lot. At the parking lot we see direction signs for Blegoš and Koprivnik.

Path description:
From the parking lot at Črni Kal, continue along the marked road, which climbs only slightly to the east. After about 15 minutes' walk, you emerge from the forest onto a large grassy slope, where the signs for Koprivnik direct you sharp left onto the rather overgrown cart track, which you follow in a moderate ascent to the edge of the forest. As you enter the forest, the path curves slightly to the right and starts to climb steeply. After a short climb through the forest, following the sometimes quite overgrown cart track, you join the normal path from Črný Kalo.
Follow the path in the route Koprivnik, which gradually starts to climb steeper. At the point where cart track starts to overgrow tall grass, you will see on the right side an initially less visible but marked path, which branches off to the right with cart track. Next, we climb through the initially very dense forest, along a path which leads us higher up on partly scenic slopes, from which we have a view of the nearby Blegoš. A little further on, the steepness eases and the path quickly leads us over a blueberry patch to the top of Koprivnik.
