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.
From the shelter, continue along the macadam road, where you will quickly arrive at a marked crossroads, where the "direct" route to Dom na Kofcah branches off to the left, and we continue straight ahead and continue along the macadam road. There is a cross-country climb along the dirt road, which occasionally opens up a fine view of Kamnik Savinja Alps, and the marked path past the chapel towards mountain pasture Kofce then turns left off the road into the bank, and we follow the road to a nearby crossroads.
From the crossroads, continue right (a sharp left will take you to Kofce) and gradually start descending, and the road descends into dense forest, where you reach a junction of macadam roads.
Continue straight on the less steep cart track, which continues between the two roads and soon becomes quite steep. As we climb the cart track, we get a good view of the western peaks of Košuta as we look back, but higher up the path turns left and in a few minutes takes us to a ridge where it turns right and turns into a fainter path. Just a little further on, we step out of the forest into a small clearing, where we reach the summit, and we continue from the summit for about 2 minutes on a fainter path, which leads us to a scenic peak. Valley - Zavetišče na Kalu 1:00, Zavetišče na Kalu - Robič 0:55.
