Makekova Kočna - Veliki vrh

Access to the starting point:
First, drive to Preddvor or to the settlement of Tupaliče (reachable from the Gorenjska highway or Kranj), then continue driving in the direction of Jezersko. When you reach Zgornje Jezersko, at the part where the road is laid, leave the main road and continue to the right in the direction of the ecological tourist farm Makek, Češka hut, Veliki vrh and the Čedca waterfall (leave the main road before the Petrol petrol station). Just after the turnoff from the main road, first descend a little and then follow the road in the direction of the Makek farm. The road then starts to climb, and we follow it to a small crossroads where the road continues to the left towards Makek Farm, and in a straight direction the road continues past the trail to the Čedca waterfall and past the trail to Velika vrh. Park in a suitable place near the crossroads so as not to interfere with the frequent forestry work.

Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the road on the right, which climbs gently through the forest. After a good 10 minutes' walk, you will come to a sharp right turn, from which a marked path branches off to the left towards the Čedca waterfall. Continue along the road, which climbs for some time, and then leads us higher up to a place where we see a mountain sign for Velika vrh. Here we continue left up the often muddy cart track, which turns into a footpath higher up, which climbs mostly through the forest (due to the greater number of tractor trains, orientation is somewhat more difficult). The steepness then eases and the path leads us to a clearing after which the path climbs steeply. The path then turns slightly left into the forest and comes to a solitary hut in the middle of the forest.
Follow the markings carefully, as you can quickly get lost along the many paths beside the cottage. Just above the hut the path climbs steeply, then turns to the right and leads us higher up to an avalanche prone ravine (avalanche danger in winter). The path continues to climb relatively steeply up and along the ravine. Eventually the path leads us to a ridge where a beautiful view (vantage point) opens up for a short time. On the ridge the path turns left and returns to the forest.
The last part of the way to the summit awaits us. This part is a bit exposed in places, but not to dangerous in dry conditions (in wet conditions there is a high risk of slipping). A little below the summit, the path leaves the forest onto slopes covered with dwarf pines, which are then followed to the summit.
