Spodnja Kokra - Mali Grintovec

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.
On the saddle joins the path from Javorov vrh, and we continue left in the direction of Hudičev boršt (straight Cjanovca and Srednji vrh). The path then crosses slopes towards the west, and then it brings us out of the forest on panoramic southern slopes of Cjanovca. Next follows crossing of occasionally steep grassy slopes, which ends on the periphery of the forest Hudičev boršt. From here the path ascends a little steeper and after few minutes of additional walking brings us to the cottage Zavetišče v Hudičevem borštu.
From the cottage, we continue towards the west, where we quickly get to the source in Hudičev boršt, right after it at the marked crossing, where we continue straight (left downwards path Mačenska pot in Mače). Next follows a shorter crossing of a grassy slope, and then the path passes into the forest and it brings us to the next crossing.
This time we continue right in the direction of Cjanovca, Srednji vrh and Mali Grintovec (straight mountain hut Dom na Kališču and one of the paths, on which we can descend into Mače) on the path which starts ascending steeper through the forest. A pretty steep path higher brings us into a smaller valley, where the forest gets thinner, and the path flattens. After few minutes of walking on the mentioned small valley path turns to the right, ascends steeper and after a short ascent, it brings us to the cottage on Dolga njiva.
Here is a crossing, where we go on a poorly beaten footpath which goes horizontal behind the cottage (by the small valley upwards). The path then starts slightly ascending through a valley of Dolga njiva and after good 20 minutes of walking, it brings us on a saddle, where there is the next crossing. We go left following the signs Mali Grintovec (right Srednji vrh). The path then moderately ascends on the slope, which is partly covered with dwarf pines. After that shorter ascent we come on the ridge, where the path from Kališče and Bašeljski vrh join. We continue right on the path which in few minutes of additional walking brings us on the peak.
