At first asphalt road, higher becomes a macadam and it brings us to the crossroad of several roads on the mountain pass Spodnje Sleme. We continue on the main road which starts diagonally descending towards the settlement Podolševa. Lower at the crossroad we turn sharply left (right Solčava panorama road - to the starting point we can get to also on this road, in this case, we join the road through the mountain pass Pavličev Vrh) in the direction of Solčava. When we descend into Solčava, at the crossroad, where we join the main road we continue right. Few kilometers after the settlement Solčava we will get to a crossroad, where we turn left in the direction of valley Logarska dolina (toll payment).

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the main road which leads us over a bridge, and after the bridge signs for Klemenča jama point us to the left on the forest road, on which we continue, and in few minutes it brings us to a crossroad, where we continue right in the direction of Klemenča jama. From the crossroad, we walk on the road only a short time because we then continue left on at first wide and gentle mountain path. And only few steps ahead, the path passes on a slope and starts gradually ascending steeper and steeper. Steep path further is ascending on a steep slope, and then crosses a torrent gully and a little further also a stream. After the small stream, the path becomes even steeper and is ascending on a very steep slope, which is mainly in wet dangerous for slipping. After a little less than an hour of walking from the starting point, we get to a bench by a well and only a little further to a crossing, where we join the path from the starting point Na razpotju.
Here the steepness decreases and we continue slightly upwards on the wide path, which soon brings us out of the forest. From here follows only a shorter ascent on a grassy slope to the mountain hut Koča na Klemenči jami below Ojstrica.
From the mountain hut where there is a marked crossing we continue straight in the direction of Ojstrica (left Strelovec and Krofička) on the path which after few 10 meters goes into the forest. Through the forest, we are moderately to steeply ascending, and the path higher brings us below the rocky cliffs, which are not too crumbly. The path soon avoids the cliffs to the right and it brings us to a crossing, where we continue left in the direction of Ojstrica on the path Kopinškova pot (Kopinšek route) (right Ojstrica, Planjava and Korošica over Škarje).
Further, we pass out of the forest on panoramic with dwarf pines vegetated slopes, from which a beautiful view opens up towards the northern wall of Ojstrica and Rjavčki vrh. The path ahead leads us past the turn-off of unmarked hunting path on Krofička, above which we quickly get to the other side of the ridge or to the notch Škrbina 1800 meters.
On the notch, from where there is a nice view towards the neighbouring Krofička path turns right and by crossing the steep slopes above Robanov kot brings us to the first fixed safety gear, where the path by the steel cable relatively steeply ascends, after that for some time flattens and crosses a grassy slope. Next follows some easy climbing with the help of iron spikes, and then we get to a short vertical part, over which we ascend with the help of stemples and a steel cable. The path ahead is for some time very steeply ascending, and most of the time we have fixed safety gear for help, mainly iron spikes and steel cables. Higher, we get to a smaller notch, where the path turns right. From here on with easier climbing and some steep crossing we are ascending towards the west, where higher we step on a ridge. On the ridge again a view opens up towards the valley Logarska dolina and mountains above it. We continue slightly left on exposed ridge, where the path again steeply ascends by the steel cable. The path ahead is ascending on the right (northern) side of the ridge above steep mountain walls. Next follows traversing of steep scree, where in the early summer can still be snow (snow field we can safely we cross only with the use of ice axe and crampons, because scree ends with a precipice). Above the scree, the path turns left and it ascends by the steel cable. Next follows only some easy climbing and by wonderful views we reach the peak of 2350 meters high Ojstrica.
