Suhadolnik - Jezerska Kočna (via Grdi graben and Dolci)

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 left path (right a little easier "Old path"), which is further ascending on a gentle cart track. A little further blazes point us slightly right on a torrent deposits of sand, and the path on the other side continues through the forest, where it starts ascending steeper and steeper. Higher, we come to a smaller cave, and the path behind it becomes technically demanding. With the help of steel cables we ascend a level higher, and the path then continues on a steep slope, where occasionally we get a help from some iron spikes. Higher, the path turns to the right, ascends diagonally over a steep and mainly in wet for slipping dangerous slopes and then brings us to well-secured passage. With the help of wooden stairs or a ladder and a help from a steel cable, we ascend on the steep slope, which without mentioned fixed safety gear would be very dangerous. Higher, we get some help from some more iron spikes, and the path after that flattens and crosses a short exposed slope, where we get help from a fence. Only a little further, we come to the next ladder, by which there aren't any steel cables, but the passage isn't that difficult. Next follows a short descent into a smaller gully and then we also cross it. On the other side of the gully, we steeply ascend (we get help from some stemples), after that the path slowly flattens and in few 10 strides of additional walking brings us to the spot, where joins a little easier "old path".
Next follows a short diagonal ascent and the path brings us to a larger plain, where used to be "stara koča" (old mountain hut). Over a high grass we walk on the other side of the plain, where we get to a marked crossing. At the crossing, we go left following the signs Dolci and Kokrška Kočna. The path then starts steeply ascending on a poorly beaten footpath over a grassy slope. We soon turn slightly to the left and we cross a steep exposed slopes. The path then starts slightly descending and crosses a dich Grdi graben. We start ascending again on a steep slope and then the path brings us on a gentle grassy slopes (Srednji Dolci). From the right joins the path from the saddle Kokrsko sedlo, and few meters later we are again at the crossing. We go right, left leads the path towards a bivouac below Kočna and Kokrska Kočna. We ascend over a grassy slope, which then brings us to scree on which we are for quite some time ascending. At the end the path turns on the scree slightly to the left and it brings us into rocks. A short ascent follows slightly to the right to the notch Dolška škrbina (2317m – the lowest point between Kočna and Grintovec). On the notch is also a crossing, where we go left towards Kočna (right Grintovec). The path then leads us on the northern side of the ridge and soon again brings us to a crossing. This time we go left (straight downwards Češka koča, right Grintovec) and we continue the ascent on a path, which quickly brings us to one of the most interesting passages in Slovenian mountains. Because path brings us to rounded passage through which we have to crawl. Because the ceiling above us is so low, that otherwise it is not possible (watch out the head). The path ahead passes on short scree after which we step on a steeper path, where we get help from some iron spikes and steel cables. Then we follow a panoramic path to the narrow peak.

On the way: Dolška škrbina (2317m)

Trip can be extended to: Kokrska Kočna
