Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Kranj - vzhod and follow the road ahead in the direction of Jezersko, but only to the village Kokra. In the mentioned village, we will only few meters before the road crosses a bridge over the river Kokra, notice a road which runs towards Suhadolnik. The turn-off of the road is located, when we are on the right side of the river (left bank), the road sign is approximately 7 km. We follow this road to a parking lot, which is located approximately 300 meters before a farm Suhadolnik.
Path description:
At the beginning of the parking lot, we notice hiking signposts, which point us on a road, on which in less than 5 minutes of walking, we get to a smaller crossroad at the farm Suhadolnik. Here we continue on the right road, and we follow it for approximately 5 minutes, or to the spot, where blazes lead on an ascending cart track. Further, for a short time, we are ascending on a cart track, and then blazes point us to the right on a footpath which is moderately ascending through the forest. Higher, we return on a cart track, and which only few meters ahead brings us to a forest road which we then follow to its end (to here we need approximately half an hour).
At the end of the road marked path splits into two parts. We continue on the right path in the direction of the mountain hut Cojzove koča on an old path (left path (over Taška), is a little shorter and also technically a little more demanding).
At first, we walk on the road, and after few 10 meters it changes into ascending cart track, from which soon a marked footpath branches off slightly to the right. The path is at first ascending parallel with the cart track, and then turns a little to the right and it quickly brings us by the bottom part of mighty gully. To constriction of gorge we are ascending through a torrent, and then blazes point us to the left on a quite steep path, which then leads us on a slightly exposed slope. Higher, the path for some time passes into a lane of dwarf pines, and then it brings us on a steep and mainly in wet for slipping dangerous slopes. Next follows approximately 15 minutes of crossing of the mentioned slopes, where on the most exposed parts we get help from a fence.
Higher from the left joins the path over Taška, and the slope on which we walk quickly flattens. Next follows a short diagonal ascent towards the right and the path brings us to larger plain, where used to be "old mountain hut". Over a high grass we walk on the other side of the plain, where we get to a marked crossing.
We continue straight (left Kočna over Dolce) on a moderately steep path, which further ascends through a lane of bushes. Higher, the path for some time entirely flattens, and then it brings us into dwarf pines, where it starts ascending steeper. This a little steeper path, from which increasingly beautiful views are opening up, we follow all the way to the mountain hut Cojzova koča na Kokrskem sedlu.
