Access to the starting point:
a) Drive to Preddvor or to the settlement Tupaliče, which is located on the main road Kranj - Zgornje Jezersko, and then continue driving in the direction of Jezersko. Once you reach Kokra, turn right at the road sign between 10. 5 km and 10 km down towards Spodnja Kokra (there are also mountain signs at the crossroads). Continue along the narrow asphalt road that runs between the church on the right and the Kokra River on the left. The road then starts to climb, and we follow it at the crossroads in the direction of the Roblek farm. The mostly asphalted road leads us higher up to the Roblek farm, where we park in a suitable place.

Path description:
From the starting point, continue along the road, passing the farm on the right, and then cross the pasture fence. The gently sloping road then leads us through the pasture, from where we have beautiful views, especially towards the mountains above the right bank of the Kokra River. On the other side of the pasture, the road goes into the forest and turns into cart track. As soon as cart track turns into forest, the marked path from the valley joins us from the right, and we continue along the initially still quite winding cart track. After a few minutes we arrive in the Ugly Valley, where cart track turns slightly left, and here we continue slightly right, on a marked footpath that starts to climb steeply through the forest. Further on, we climb quite steeply, and the path leads us through an area called Roblekov kot. Higher up, the path leads us along a torrential ravine, which we cross a little further on. On the other side of the torrent, partly on scree, we are getting closer and closer to the walls of Krvavec, where the path becomes exposed to falling rocks. Further on, the Roblekov angle narrows, so that the path gradually leads us towards the Lojtra rock jump. The well-protected, mostly relatively wide path then leads us over the above-mentioned passage, where there is also a habitat of mountain lily and Zois's bellflower. There are a few minutes of fairly steep ascent, and then the path gradually descends. When the path is further laid, the forest also thins out and the path leads us to the lower part of the mountain pasture Long field. After a pleasant grassy carpet, we quickly reach a crossroads where the Krvavec path joins us from the right, and we continue straight to the nearby older shepherd's hut and a little further to a newer hut.
Above the hut, at the edge of dwarf pines, look for the continuation of the path, which continues slightly to the right. You quickly reach a small valley, which ascends, first gently and then moderately. Exiting the valley, you quickly reach a crumbly slope, which you traverse across to the right. After the crossing, which is not technically difficult, the path enters a series of small grassy valleys surrounded by dwarf pines. A few minutes of gentle ascent follows and the path leads to the crossroads at Škrbina, from where a fine view of the central Grintovci opens up. Here we continue left in the direction of Kalški greben and Cojzova huts on the path, which after a few further steps leads us to the next crossroads. Continue slightly to the right in the direction of "Kalce" (left Kalški greben) along the path, which after a few minutes of further walking begins to descend more visibly. After a few minutes of descent, the path turns slightly to the left and crosses the scree under the Kalška ridge. Here, on the right hand side, at the foot of the scree, you can see a small lake called Krvava lokev, and we continue on the marked path, which gradually turns into the area of high-lying plateau. There are a few short ascents and descents along the path, which leads us past a number of small potholes, and then we come out on the scree again. In the middle of the scree, at a kind of back, the abandoned climbing route to Kalški greben branches off to the left, and we continue on the marked path, which is joined just a little further on the right by a barely visible path from Žagana peči. We continue in the direction of Cojzova hut, and the path gradually leads us to steeper and steeper and partly grassy slopes. The path is slightly further with the help of jeklenice climbs over a steep slope, then lays and in a few minutes of further walking leads us to a marked crossroads.
From the crossroads, which is located on a small saddle, continue to the right in the direction of Kalška gora (sharp left Kalški greben on a very difficult path, straight down Kokrsko sedlo). The path continues on steep and, especially in wet conditions, dangerous grassy slopes. Follow this relatively folded path all the way to Kalška gora, only to reach it after a good 5 minutes of further walking.
