Access to starting point:
We drive to Tržič, and then through gorge Dovžanova soteska and Dolina we drive to Jelendol. In Jelendol at Born's manor we continue straight, and then we drive on the main road to the next turn-off of forest road to the left, which is situated next to MHE Zali potok. We park on an appropriate place by the crossroad.
Path description:
From the main road, we go over Tržiška Bistrica, and then past the small hydropower plant, we continue on a relatively steep forest road. The road further leads on the left side of the stream Zali potok (right bank), stream which higher has two waterfalls.
Above the waterfalls, we get to a dam where we go sharply to the left on a cart track which starts ascending towards the west, and at the smaller crossings we continue straight. Higher, at somehow an equivalent crossing of cart tracks we continue left and then in few hairpin turns we ascend to a macadam road, where we go once again left.
Further, we walk on the road which is slowly turning to the right, so that from northern slopes we get to southern slopes of Primožkovi hribi. A little further, the road entirely flattens, and on an appropriate place we leave it and in few steps we ascend on a ridge. Next follows few minutes of walking to the highest point of the ridge, from where also a view opens up a little.
