Path description:
From the bottom station of the cable car on Krvavec we short time continue on the asphalt road which leads towards Štefanja Gora, and we soon leave it, because at the beginning of the left turn we continue right on a macadam road, by which we notice signs for Davovec, graveyard of soldiers of NOB above Davovec and Krvavec. Worse macadam road continues along the stream Reka, and through the valley, we continue to the spot, where the marked path towards Davovec and Krvavec turns left. Here by the path, we notice signs, that in the opposite direction can come cyclists, because part of the path further runs on the route of cycling "downhill" track. The path ahead is ascending through the forest and is quite steeply ascending. Higher, the path brings us to mostly abandoned hamlet Davovec, where there are some houses. A little higher we reach the saddle Davovec, where join also the paths from Štefanja Gora and Spodnja Kokra, and we continue right, at first on a cart track in the direction of the mountain hut Dom na Gospincu. Quite gently sloping cart track then leads us past NOB monument, and after the memorial path in short time few times splits. At all crossings we carefully follow the blazes, and marked path soon leaves the cart track and is further steeply ascending through a dense forest. Steeper and steeper path higher brings us to a smaller vantage point, from which a view opens up on cable car, which runs on Krvavec. The path then returns into the forest and is ascending on the path, on which can in the opposite direction come some cyclist (there is quite a lot of them; larger part they have own route, but occasionally is only one path). When we come out of the forest, the path crosses a grazing fence and then it brings us on the road which we reach by garages for snow groomers.
Here we continue left (right upper station of the cable car on Krvavec and mountain hut Dom na Gospincu - 1 minute) on the road which continues by summer park Krvavec, and then passes into the forest, where it leads us also past adventure park. Above adventure park we also get to boarding house Penzion Tia, and after the boarding house in few hairpin turns we ascend to Hotel Krvavec, which is situated left from the macadam road.
