Path description:
From the bottom station of the cable car on Krvavec we continue on the asphalt road towards Štefanja Gora, and there we walk to the first left turn, in the middle of which marked path, at first rough road towards Krvavec branches off to the right. The worse road, on which we continue the ascent is ascending on the right bank of Reka, and a little higher, at the marked crossing we continue left in the direction of Davovec and the upper station of the cableway. Next follows a short steeper ascent, and then we reach the cart track which we follow to the left. Further cart track is becoming worse, and we continue on a forest path, which on parts runs on the same route as cycling "downhill" track, therefore a little more caution is needed. Higher from the marked path, marked path branches off to the right towards memory park Davovec, and we continue left and after few minutes of additional ascent, we get to an abandoned house and behind it also to ruins and information board. Here another path branches off to the right towards the before mentioned park, and we continue straight on wider and further also quite steep path, which we follow all the way to a saddle Davovec, where we step on a wide cart track.
When we step on the cart track, we continue left and in few steps we get to a marked crossing, by which there is a religious symbol and a pleasant bench.
We continue straight in the direction of Kopa (right Kokra), and after few steps, when one cart track turns slightly to the left and starts descending, and the second starts ascending, we continue parallel with the upper cart track which we higher join for some time. After a shorter part, where we walk on a cart track, we then again continue slightly right, on a small footpath which is ascending on a forested ridge. A short ascent follows, and then we reach vegetated peak Kope.
From Kopa we continue straight in the direction of Skutman, on the path which starts descending on a forested ridge. When after approximately 15 minutes the descent ends, we get to a smaller saddle, where there is a marked crossing, and we continue straight in the direction of Skutman (left Možjanca and Štefanja Gora).
From the crossing ahead the path at first continues without large changes in altitude, then for some time it descends, and then it ascends steeper and in a minute or two of additional walking brings us to the summit of Skutman.
The path to the saddle Davovec is marked with blazes, from there further, it is still marked but not with blazes.
Description and pictures refer to a condition in the year 2016 (April).
