Access to the starting point:
First, drive to Preddvor or Tupaliče (reachable from the Gorenjska highway or Kranj), then continue in the direction of Jezersko. When you arrive in Jezersko, you will soon see signs for the Kanonir Inn. After the guesthouse, turn left onto the road in the direction of Dol - Podstoržič and Kovk Farm. Continue along a slightly narrower road, which leads past houses, and then after a further 100 m of driving, you will reach a crossroads where a steep road branches off to the left, which is also the marked path to Kozji vrh. Park in a suitable place at the crossroads.
Path description:
From the starting point, continue along the road on the left in the route Kozji vrh, at which point you will notice that from 20. 7. to 20. 10. no further driving is allowed. Walk for about 20 minutes along a fairly steep road and then you will come out of the forest, on the edge of the Robci pasture, where you will have a beautiful view of the Kočna massif.
From Robci, located on the saddle between Macesnovec (1042 m) on the left and Kozji vrh (1628 m) on the right, continue to the right, on cart track in the direction of Kozji vrh. Cart track leads quickly into the forest, through which you start to climb steeply. At a few small crossroads, follow the signs and cart track turns into a mountain trail higher up, which continues to climb mostly cross-country to the right, crossing several ravines and steep slopes in the process. In wet conditions there is a greater risk of slipping in some parts, and in dry conditions more care is needed in places. Higher up, some views open up through the treetops, and the path leads below the Kozji vrh cliffs, where, especially in spring, there is a greater chance of falling rocks. Below the cliffs, the path leads over a small scree slope, but mostly on a steep slope. When the traverse ends, the path leads to an indistinct wooded saddle between Kozji vrh on the left and Turni (1432 m) on the right.
Here you leave the marked trail, which turns left and leads on to Kozji vrh (Kozji vrh is about 40 minutes away) and continue right, along an indistinct ridge, where you soon see an old path and a wire fence. When we reach the bottom of Turnov, the track disappears completely and we start to climb up the steep slope. The slope soon narrows into a wooded and slightly overgrown ridge, which we climb in a few minutes to a scenic and precipitous summit.
Descend along the ascent route, or alternatively along the forest road, initially cart track, which is reached to the south of the summit and then continues around Kozje Peak.
