Kriška planina - Vrh Korena (via Zvoh)

Access to the starting point:
a) From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice take the exit Vodice, then continue to the first semaphore crossing in Vodice, where you turn left towards Cerkelj na Gorenjskem and Brnik. When you reach the main roundabout at Spodnji Brnik, continue driving in the direction of Cerkeliai and the ski resort Krvavec. At the end of Cerklje na Gorenjskem, leave the main road, which continues towards Velesovo and Visoke, and turn slightly right onto the road towards the ski resort Krvavec. Continue to the village of Grad, where signs for Ambrož pod Krvavcem direct you to the right on a steep asphalt road (straight ahead to the lower station of the round-cabin cable car to Krvavec and Štefanja Gora). When the steepness of the steep road eases slightly, you will come to a junction, where you will continue to the left in the direction of Ambrož pod Krvavcem (straight ahead to the settlements of Ravne, Apno and Šenturška Gora). A little further on, the road descends a little and then climbs over slopes that are sometimes quite scenic. Higher up, you reach Ambrož pod Krvavcem, where you pass the church of St Ambrose and the tourist farm Pr Ambružarju on the left. From the tourist farm the road passes into the forest and climbs through it to mountain pasture Jezerec, where there is a large parking lot. The road is laid here and turns left, about 500 m further on it leads to a crossroads, where you continue right in the direction of Kriška planina (straight ahead the upper station of the round-cabin cableway and the Mountain Home at Gospinac). There is only a short steep climb and you arrive at a parking lot at the edge of Kriška planina.
The road from mountain pasture Jezerec to Kriška planina is now closed to public traffic, which extends the journey by about 15 minutes.
b) From the motorway Jesenice - Ljubljana take the exit Kranj - East, then continue to Brnik, Komenda and Mengeš. Once you reach the main roundabout at Spodnji Brnik, continue driving towards Cerkeliai and the ski resort Krvavec. At the end of Cerklje na Gorenjskem, leave the main road, which continues towards Velesovo and Visoke, and turn slightly right onto the road towards the ski resort Krvavec. Continue to the village of Grad, where the signs for Ambrož pod Krvavcem direct you to the right on a steep asphalt road (straight ahead to the lower station of the circular cable car to Krvavec and Štefanja Gora). When the steepness of the steep road eases slightly, you will come to a crossroads, where you will continue to the left in the direction of Ambrož pod Krvavcem (straight ahead to the settlements of Ravne, Apno and Šenturška Gora). A little further on, the road descends a little and then climbs over slopes that are sometimes quite scenic. Higher up, you reach Ambrož pod Krvavcem, where you pass the church of St Ambrose and the tourist farm Pr Ambružarju on the left. From the tourist farm the road passes into the forest and climbs through it to mountain pasture Jezerec, where there is a large parking lot. The road is laid here and turns left, about 500 m further on it leads to a crossroads, where you continue right in the direction of Kriška planina (straight ahead the upper station of the round-cabin cableway and the Mountain Home at Gospinec). There is only a short steep climb and you arrive at a parking area at the edge of Kriška planina. The road from mountain pasture Jezerec to Kriška planina is now closed to public traffic, which extends the journey by about 15 minutes.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we focus on a wide dirt track that goes under the cable car and starts to climb over the pastures (direction home on Krvavec). A moderately steep path leads us after a 30-minute walk to the home on Krvavec from which we open a beautiful view towards Gorenjska.
From home we continue in the direction of Zvoha along the road, which leads us past the chapel and transmitters on Krvavec to the saddle Razor (saddle between the top of Krvavec and Velika Zvoh), where there is a crossroads. Continue straight along the ridge (right Krvavec peak 5 minutes) and follow the increasingly steep transport-rescue road, which is occasionally paved, along the edge of the ski slope to the reservoir lake at Velika Zvoh. From the lake, climb to the nearby summit, then walk over the wire fence to the registration box, located a few steps below the summit.
From Veliki Zvoh we continue along the marked path along the ridge called Jež-a. The relatively easy ridge trail, however, starts to descend after a few minutes of walking and leads us to a technically challenging place. With the help of a rope ladder, we climb up a steep and crumbly gully, which is exposed to falling rocks. The gully is short, but still long enough to cause a lot of problems for inexperienced mountaineers. The difficulties then disappear and the pleasant path, which mostly follows the ridge, is followed to two successive switchbacks. At the first one, the trail branches off to the right down to Mokrica and mountain pasture Koren, and at the second one, the trail branches off to the right up to Vrh Korena, which is reached after a minute of further walking.
Kriška planina - Veliki Zvoh 1:25, Veliki Zvoh - Vrh Korena 1:15.
