Možjanca - Skutman (via Zapečnikova planina)

Access to the starting point:
a) From Cerkelj na Gorenjskem, Šenčur or Kranja drive to Preddvor. When you reach the main road Kranj - Jezersko, follow it towards Jezersko, then turn right before the settlement Tupaliče in the direction of Možjance. At Tupaliče turn right again, then follow the ascending road to Možjanca, where you can park in a suitable place near the church of St. Nicholas or just above it at the ecological island.

b) From Zgornje Jezersko take the main road towards Kranj. When you reach the crossroads where the road to Preddvor branches off to the right, continue straight on, then take the first left. After a short climb, the road levels off, then at the marked crossroads continue left in the direction of Možjanka. Then climb up to Možjanca, where you can park in a suitable place near the church of St. Nicholas or just above it at the ecological island.

Path description:
From the Church of St. Nicholas on Možjanca, climb 10 steps to the crossroads by the ecological island, and from there continue to the right in the direction of Kopa, Davovec and Krvavec (lookout point on the left). Continue along the macadam road, which soon turns slightly right, onto the lower dirt track, which is also marked as an equestrian trail. Cart track, which then crosses the slopes to the right, quickly forks and we take the upper track, along which is the next sign for the equestrian path. A little further on, the lower path also returns to our route, and the track then crosses the slopes to the right for a while, and at the crossroads we follow the main path, or the one that seems to be the most well-trodden. After about 45 minutes' walk from the ecological island, you will reach the next marked crossroads, where you continue to the left in the direction of Kope (the equestrian path continues slightly to the right).

The trail continues on a flatter terrain, but at unmarked crossroads you still follow the better-trodden path. When you reach a wider track, it leads to an undistinguished pass, where the next crossroads are.

From the crossroads, continue straight on in the direction of Zapečnikova planina and Skutman (Kopa on the right, but also possible on Skutman) and start descending moderately along cart track. During the descent, the path to the chapel branches off to the left, and we continue along cart track, which gradually descends and leads us into a small valley, where it starts to climb again. There is a slight ascent, then over an indistinct ridge to the northern slopes, over which you descend crosswise. After crossing a small spring, the path turns left and leads out of the forest to Zapečnikova planina, where a hunting observation post stands on the left, and the central part of mountain pasture offers a fine view.
Continue to the other side of mountain pasture, where a wide track is reached, and we continue down to the left. After a short descent, the track curves left downhill and we take a slight right onto a beaten track that quickly climbs to the ridge. When we reach the ridge, a beautiful view opens up towards Kočna and Grintovec, and the path gradually turns into a forest, through which it continues until it reaches the summit a few minutes away.
Možjanca - Zapečnikova planina 1:15, Zapečnikova planina - Skutman 0:10.
