Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice take the exit Kranj - east and follow the road towards Zgornje Jezersko. In the village Kokra, at the road sign between 10. 5 and 10km, the road to Spodnja Kokra branches off to the right (there are also mountain signs at the crossroads). Just after the road crosses the Kokra River, park in the parking lot next to the road.
Path description:
At the beginning of the parking lot, you will see a sign pointing to the right to a footpath that climbs up overgrown steps. The path then levels out and leads you higher up onto a road, which you follow to the right. After a short climb, you come to a small crossroads where you continue to the right, following the road for only a few dozen metres until you reach a house that is being demolished. At the house, the markings direct us to cart track (the road turns right here), which we then follow for a short time, as the marked path turns right and leads us past the cross to the stream. The path crosses the stream and starts to climb steeply behind it. The steepness soon gives way and the path leads us in a moderate ascent, almost entirely through the forest, after a good hour's walk to an undistinguished saddle, where there is a crossroads. Continue left along cart track in the direction of the mountain home at Gospincu.
The rather folded cart track then leads us past the NOB (National Liberation Front) memorial, and the path forks behind the memorial a few times in a short time. At all crossroads, follow the markings carefully, and the marked path soon leaves cart track and continues to climb steeply through the dense forest. The steeper and steeper path leads us higher up to a small lookout point, from which we have a view of the circular cable car leading to Krvavec. The path then returns to the forest and climbs up a path where you may meet some touring cyclists (there are quite a few of them; most of them have their own route, but occasionally there is only one route). Once out of the forest, the path crosses a pasture fence and then leads to a road, which you reach by the snow-ploughing garages.
Here, continue left (to the right, the upper station of the circular cable car to Krvavec and the Mountain Lodge at Gospinac - 1 minute) along the road, which continues alongside the Krvavec summer park, and then passes into the woods, where it leads you past the adventure park. Above the adventure park, you will reach the Pension Tia, and after the pension, you will climb up a few serpentines to the Hotel Krvavec, which is located to the left of the macadam road.
