Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Kranj - vzhod and follow the road ahead in the direction of Jezersko. Only few kilometers after the turn-off for Preddvor we will on the right side of the road notice transformer and by it parking lot, where we park. Here are also signposts for mountain hut Dom Čemšenik.
Path description:
From the parking lot at first we carefully cross the road, and then we go on a footpath in the direction of the mountain hut Dom Čemšenik. A wide path lightly ascends to the homestead Polajnar, where we step on the road which we follow to the right.
The road just after the house steeply ascends, which a little higher loses an asphalt covering. Further, the road flattens and turns a little towards the left, where it gets very close to the stream Čemšeniški potok. Even a little further, we cross the mentioned stream and right after it we come at the marked crossroad, where we continue on the left road in the direction of mountian hut Dom Čemšenik. The road then again starts ascending steeper and in less than 30 minutes of additional walking brings us to the mountain hut Dom Čemšenik.
From the hut Dom Čemšenik we continue in the direction of Javorov vrh (on a sign Javorjev vrh) on the path which after few meters goes into the forest. At first moderately steep path soon brings us to a torrent ditch, by which there is then for some time ascending. Higher, the path turns to the right and it ascends even steeper. This relatively steep path, which all the time runs through a dense forest, we follow all the way to a crossing on the saddle between Potoška gora on the left and Javorov vrh on the right.
We continue right (left Potoška gora and St. Jakob) on a moderately steep path, which after a short ascent brings us on the southwestern ridge of Javorov vrh, from which a view opens up a little towards Cjanovca. The path only a little further goes again into a dense forest, where we come on next well-marked crossing.
Here we continue left in the direction of Srednji vrh, Kališče and Storžič (straight Javorov vrh 15 minutes) on the path which after few additional strides, brings us to a pleasant well. Next follows half an hour crossing of the slopes below Javorov vrh, which ends on the saddle between the mentioned peak and Cjanovca.
We continue straight in the direction of Cjanovca and Srednji vrh (left Hudičev boršt, sharply right Javorov vrh) on the path which starts ascending steeper on and by east ridge of Cjanovca. Higher, the path brings us out of the forest on slopes covered with dwarf pines, and we continue on steeper and in parts very panoramic path. The path, from which beautiful views are opening up on Kočna, Grintovec, Kalški greben and Gorenjska, is slowly turning slightly towards the left. This more and more panoramic and relatively steep path, we then follow all the way to the top of Cjanovca, on which stands bench and smaller cairn.
Spodnja Kokra - Dom Čemšenik 50 minutes, Dom Čemšenik - Cjanovca 2:55.
