Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Škofja Loka, and then we continue driving towards Železniki. When we get to Železniki, at first at the crossroad, where a road towards Kropa, Dražgoše and Rudno branches off to the right, we continue straight, and then a little behind Mercator store, or opposite of company Niko d.o.o. we continue right in the direction of Podlonk and Prtovč. We continue on the mentioned road which starts ascending steeper, and we follow the asphalt road to the parking lot on Prtovč, which is located near the church of Marija Pomočnica.
From the main road in Železniki, to the starting point is a little less than 6 km.

When we get to Železniki, we leave the main road and we continue driving left in the direction of Podlonk and Prtovč. We continue on the mentioned road which starts ascending steeper, and we follow the asphalt road to the parking lot on Prtovč, which is located near the church of Marija Pomočnica.

Path description:
From the starting point, we walk to the nearby NOB monument, which is situated at the beginning of the village Prtovč, and from the mentioned crossroad we continue on the right road in the direction of the hunting cottage Na Toli. The path at first leads on a panoramic road, from which a nice view opens up towards Dražgoše and surrounding hills, and then it passes into the forest, through which is ascending diagonally. Soon a short road branches off to the right towards the before mentioned hunting cottage, and we go straight and we still continue in a diagonal ascent towards the right. Higher, or after approximately 45 minutes of walking from the starting point, we get to the ridge, where by the road we notice a smaller memorial, and on the right side a view opens up a little towards Železniki. Here the road stops ascending, and we reach a marked path Raztovka - Ratitovec, which we follow left in the forest. After a short ascent, we reach the cart track, and then we quickly get to a marked crossing, where we continue slightly left (slightly right mountain pasture Klom).
We continue in the direction of Kosmati vrh, on the path which gradually passes on a forested ridge. The path ahead for a short time quite steeply ascends, and then it brings us out of the forest on a grazing area of an already mentioned peak. Here the footpath partly vanishes and turns slightly towards the left, where it passes on the upper slope of Kosmati vrh. Ahead footpath entirely vanishes, and we continue in the direction towards the south, or southwest. For easier orientation we get help from blazes on rocks, which in fog aren't visible, therefore orientation then is even a little more difficult. This "path", which is moderately to steeply ascending, we follow all the way to panoramic Kosmati vrh, and we reach it after good 15 minutes of additional walking.
