Access to starting point:
From Trbovlje or Laško we drive to Hrastnik, and then we continue driving in the direction »Hrastnik center and village Čeče«. We follow this road to the spot, where we notice signs for ski slope Rajska dolina. Here we turn right and then already after few meters park on one of the numerous parking lots in Hrastnik.
Path description:
At the end of the parking lot, we will on one of the buildings notice hiking signposts, which point us to the left on an ascending road in the direction of Kal and Mrzlica. Higher marked path leaves the road and continues left through the forest. After few minutes of additional walking, we come to a well-marked crossing, where we continue left in the direction of »Kal, Mrzlica over Klobuk« (straight path over Blate).
The path ahead immediately steeply ascends on very steep and in wet for slipping dangerous slope. Higher, the path flattens a little, crosses a forest road and then it brings us to the spot, where the path on Jelenca branches off to the left. We continue straight on a relatively steep path, which higher brings us on a forested ridge. The path higher turns to the left, leaves the ridge and entirely flattens. Eventually, the path returns on the ridge and starts ascending steeper again. This path, which mostly runs through the forest, we follow all the way to the top of the panoramic Klobuk.
From Klobuk we continue on a marked path which starts descending on at first quite steep slope. The path soon flattens, turns a little to the left, where it crosses slopes of Pleše (956m). The path soon passes on the northern side of the mentioned summit, where we step on part of ski tracks of the ski slope Rajska dolina. By the ski slope we descend to an asphalt road, by which we notice hiking signposts.
We cross the road and we continue the ascent on a marked footpath which ascends on a panoramic grassy slope. Higher, the steepness decreases and the path joins the road which we then follow all the way to the mountain hut on Kal.
From the hut, we continue on its left side (direction of arrival) on the path which crosses the fence and goes into the forest. After few minutes of additional walking, we notice signs for the peak of Kal, which point us to the left on a little steeper footpath, on which we in few steps ascend to the summit.
From Kal we descend on the other side on the path which already after few steps it brings us on a wide cart track which we left when we ascended to the summit of Kal. We continue on the mentioned cart track which only a little further starts descending. After few minutes of descent, the path brings us out of the forest on a smaller saddle between Kal and Mrzlica.
We continue straight, slightly upwards and we are then ascending by the edge of a larger grassy area. Higher, the path turns a little to the right and it ascends diagonally through a thin forest. Higher, the steepness decreases and the path after few minutes of additional walking brings us to the mountain hut on Mrzlica.
From the mountain hut, we can in less than 5 minutes ascend also on a panoramic peak of Mrzlica.
