Access to starting point:
We leave Gorenjska highway at the junction Podtabor, and then we continue driving towards Ljubelj. After approximately 6 km of driving from Bistrica pri Tržiču, we get to a crossroad, where we turn right into Podljubelj, and at the crossroad 30 meters ahead we go right, and then we park on an appropriate place near the succursal primary school Podljubelj.
Path description:
Opposite the primary school signs for Kal and Kofce point us to the left on a side road which starts ascending. After some houses, the road passes into the forest and then a little higher it turns right. At the mentioned turn in the direction of straight continues the marked footpath, and we continue on the road which loses an asphalt covering. Higher, the road leads us through the hamlet Reber, where at the crossroads we continue straight, and even a little further, near the homestead Javorje, the road splits into three branches.
We continue straight on a wider macadam road (slightly left - hunting cottage, slightly right - homestead Javorje), which is still crossing slopes towards the right. Even a little further from the road, a short branch branches off to the left towards the nearby house, and we continue few more 10 strides to the next crossing the road, where we cross a marked path (Tržič (Čegelše) - Zavetišče na Kalu).
We continue on a slightly left road (left on a footpath - Kal and Kofce, slightly right - farm Završnik and Tržič), and we walk there to a smaller saddle, where on the left side of the road, we notice a religious symbol, and we continue right, on a marked path in the direction of Tržič, which continues by the grazing fence. The path ahead leads us with nice views on surrounding mountains, and then passes into a shorter lane of a forest. The forest soon ends, and a little ahead we again get closer to a grazing fence, where we leave the marked path.
We continue slightly right, on a worse footpath which starts ascending steeply towards Veliki vrh, which we reach after a little less than 10 minutes of additional walking.
