Dolina - Zavetišče na Kalu

Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Podnart (Ljubelj), and then we continue driving on the road towards Ljubelj and Tržič. When "fast road" ends (blue sign), we will on the right side notice gas station, in front of which we turn right downwards towards Tržič. Further, we drive through Tržič, and we follow the narrower road towards the gorge Dovžanova soteska and further to the village Dolina, where on a macadam parking lot before the bridge over the river Tržiška Bistrica we also park.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we at first cross a bridge, and then on the main road, we walk to the near chapel, where we continue left by the garden and older residential house on the forest road. We continue the ascent on narrower and worse macadam road which leads us by the stream Kališnik moderately upwards. The road soon changes into a cart track, and it starts ascending steeper. Higher, we come to a water catchment, above which narrower cart track turns left and after few meters ends, and we continue straight over larger meadow, on which we ascend to a little bigger spruce, where blazes point us slightly right on steeper footpath. We continue on the steep path, which crosses a shorter lane of a forest and then it brings us on moderately steep grassy slopes, on which with nice views on Storžič and Stegovnik we ascend to a saddle Kal, where we also step on the forest road. From the saddle, from which a nice view opens up on Begunjščica, we continue right and in few steps we get to the cottage Zavetišče na Kalu.
