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 straight towards Škarje, and to the left very demanding path Kopinškova pot (Kopinšek route) on Ojstrica branches off. The path then still crosses slopes towards the west, and then it comes out of the forest and turns slightly to the left. Here it starts ascending a little steeper by the scree, then turns to the right and it ascends towards the saddle below Rjavčki vrh (1898 meters).
From the marked path to Rjavčki vrh is approximately 10 minutes of ascent on pathless terrain.
On the saddle to the right also the path which runs into a valley towards the mountain hut Koča pod slapom Rinka branches off.
The path from the saddle then turns to the left and at first ascends past some dwarf pines and then over the scree. Next follows also a little steeper ascent on rocky terrain towards the saddle Škarje (2141 meters).
From the saddle, we continue left and at first, we descend a little. When we come to a crossing we go on the left path, and the right path leads towards the mountain pasture Korošica. After that, the path becomes a little more demanding and soon joins the path which leads from the mountain hut Kocbekov dom na Korošici. Next follows a little steeper ascent with the help of some fixed safety gear towards the summit, which we reach in few minutes of additional walking.
