Access to starting point:
From Gorenjska highway, Kranj or Preddvor, we drive to Zgornje Jezersko, after that approximately 1 km after Petrol gas station, we turn right in the direction of the lake Planšarsko jezero and Češka koča. Further, we drive past the mentioned lake, and then the road leads us through a larger meadow, where the asphalt ends and from which a beautiful view opens up on surrounding mountains, and then the road returns into the forest, where at first crosses a torrent. A little further, the road splits, and we continue on the right road (left Gorniški center Davo Karničar and also the footpath on the mountain pasture Jenkova planina and former starting point for the mentioned mountain pasture), on which we quickly reach large marked parking lot, where we park.
Path description:
Somewhere in the middle of large parking lot to the left opens a passage, by which there are signposts for Velika Baba, Goli vrh and a sign for hunting path on Ledine. We start on a cart track which brings us on the edge of a meadow, where we will on the left side notice Gorniški center (mountaineering center). We continue straight to well visible signposts at the nearby crossing, from which we continue straight in the direction of Velika Baba and Goli vrh (right Ledine). The path ahead still leads on a cart track which soon turns left, and further it is ascending diagonally. Higher from the left joins the path from old starting point, or marked path from the lake Planšarsko jezero. Cart track, on which we walk then changes into a footpath which is relatively steeply ascending through the forest. After approximately an hour and a half of walking, we step out of the forest on abandoned and quite overgrown mountain pasture Jenkova planina, where there is also a crossing.
We continue left (right Velika Baba) on at first slightly less visible footpath which ascends diagonally towards northwestern part of the mountain pasture. The path ahead passes into the forest, where starts ascending steeply (in wet mainly on the descent is dangerous for slipping) on the southeast slopes of Goli vrh. Higher forest becomes a little thinner, and the path offers more and more views. A little higher we finally step out of the forest and a more panoramic path in 5 minutes of additional walking brings us on Goli vrh.
Ravenska Kočna - Jenkova planina 1:30, Jenkova planina - Goli vrh 45 minutes.
