Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Preddvor or to the settlement Tupaliče (to here from Gorenjska highway or Kranj), and then we continue driving in the direction of Jezersko. When we get to municipality Jezersko, we will soon notice signs for inn Gostišče Kanonir. After the inn we go left on the road in the direction of Dol - Podstoržič and farm Kovk. Further, we drive on a little narrower road which leads us past houses, and after few 100 meters of additional driving, we get to a crossroad, where a steep road branches off to the left, on which also continues a marked path on Kozji vrh. We park on an appropriate place by the crossroad.
Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on the left road in the direction of Kozji vrh, by which we notice, that from 20/7 to 20/10 further driving is forbidden. About 20 minutes we walk on a quite steep road, and then we come out of the forest, on the edge of the pasture Robci, from where a nice view opens up towards the massif of Kočna.
From Robci, which are situated on the saddle between Macesnovec (1042 meters) on the left and Kozji vrh (1628 meters) on the right, we continue right, on a cart track in the direction of Kozji vrh. Cart track quickly leads in the forest, through which we start ascending steeper. At few smaller crossings we follow the blazes, cart track higher changes into a mountain path, which is then mostly ascending diagonally towards the right, and in doing so it crosses many gullies and steep slopes. In wet is on some parts greater danger for slipping, and also in dry in some parts more caution is needed. Higher through the treetops a view opens up a little, and the path brings us below the cliffs of Kozji vrh, where mainly in spring time is greater probability of falling stones. Below cliffs path leads through smaller scree, and mostly on a steep slope. When the crossing ends path brings us on an indistinct forested small saddle between Kozji vrh on the left and Turni (1432 meters) on the right.
Here we leave the marked path, which turns left and leads further on Kozji vrh (to Kozji vrh is for approximately 40 minutes) and we continue right, by an indistinct ridge, where we soon see old footpath and wire fence. When we get below the peak of Turni footpath entirely vanishes, and we start ascending diagonally on a steep slope. Slope soon narrows into forested and slightly overgrown ridge, on which we in few minutes ascend on panoramic and precipitous peak.
We descend on the ascent route, or on the forest road, at first cart track which we reach the south from the peak and then it continues around Kozji vrh.
