Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Kranj - east and follow the road ahead in the direction of Zgornje Jezersko. In the village Kokra, at the road sign between 10.5 and 10km road towards Spodnja Kokra branches off to the right downwards (by the crossroad there are also signposts). Immediately after the road crosses the river Kokra we park on a parking lot by the road.
Path description:
At the beginning of the parking lot, we notice a blaze, which points us right on a footpath which is ascending on overgrown stairs. The path then flattens and higher brings us on the road which we follow to the right. After a short ascent, we come to a smaller crossroad, where we continue right, and we follow the road only few ten meters to a decaying house. At decaying house blazes point us on a cart track (road here turns right), which we then follow only a short time because marked path turns right and past a cross brings us to a stream. The path mentioned stream crosses and behind it starts ascending steeper. The steepness soon decreases and the path in a moderate ascent, which almost entirely runs through the forest, after a good hour of walking, it brings us to the ridge and indistinct saddle Davovec, where there is a marked crossing.
From the crossing, we continue right (left Krvavec), and at the nearby crossing of cart tracks right from the right cart track, so that we are ascending parallel with the upper cart track. Higher, we for some time join the cart track, and then we leave it and we again continue slightly right, at first still parallel with the cart track. A short ascent follows and the path brings us to the summit of Kopa.
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.
