Spodnja Kokra - Cjanovca (via Baba)

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 mountain hut Dom Čemšenik we continue behind the hut on a well visible but unmarked path, which goes into the forest and starts at first gently and then steeper and steeper ascending. The path soon brings us to modest vantage point, where it turns slightly to the right and then it is ascending diagonally. Higher, the path brings us on the main ridge (view on Gorenjska plain), where it ascends even steeper and after few minutes of additional walking brings us to more flat part, where there stands the wooden cottage (holiday cottage).
Shortly before the hut path turns to the right and after few additional strides, it brings us to the inscription box on Baba.
From the inscription box, we continue on an easy to follow footpath which continues on occasionally panoramic ridge, from which at first a nice view opens up towards Cjanovca, Kočna, Grintovec, Kalški greben and other surrounding hills. The path ahead at first continues on the left side of the ridge and after indistinct small saddle passes on the right (east) slopes of Potoška gora. Next follows few minutes of a diagonal ascent, and then we join the marked path which leads from Dom Čemšenik.
We continue upwards and relatively quickly we get to the saddle between Potoška gora on the left and secondary peak of Javorov vrh on the right.
On the saddle is marked crossing, where we continue right (left Potoška gora, slightly left mountain hut Planinska koča Iskra na Jakobu (on one of the mentioned paths we can descend) in the direction of Javorjev vrh. The path continues on a forested ridge, only to indistinct secondary peak it avoids to the right. A gentle ascent follows, from where again a view opens up a little and then the path returns into the forest and splits.
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.
