Trögern - Virnikov 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. From Zgornje Jezersko we continue driving towards Austria, and we are driving there to the settlement Železna Kapla / Bad Eisenkappel, where in a little larger crossroad we turn left towards settlements Obirsko / Ebriach, Šajda / Zell - Schaida and Korte / Trögern. Ahead we few kilometers drive through the valley of the stream Obirski potok, and then we turn left towards the settlement Korte / Trögern. Further, we drive through gorge Skoz peči, to the already mentioned settlement, where we park on a large parking lot by the former inn Pristovnik.
To the starting point, we can come also from the valley Savinjska dolina, namely over the border crossing Pavličev vrh.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on the road, on which we came to the starting point. After approximately 3 minutes of descent, we will get to a crossroad, where the road branches off sharply to the left, by which there are signposts for Virnikov Grintovec, Roblekova planina and Jezersko. We go on the mentioned road, and it starts ascending diagonally over at first still panoramic slopes, from which a nice view opens up on Virnikov Grintovec, Pečovnik, Plešivec and surrounding hamlets.
When partly panoramic slopes end, the road turns to the right and crosses the stream Pristovški potok, after which we get to more or less dense forest. Further, we are for quite some time ascending through the forest, and at the crossroads, we follow "main" road, and higher it brings us to a marked crossing.
Here we continue sharply right in the direction of Virnikov Grintovec (straight Roblekova planina 5 minutes) on the path which goes into the forest and starts moderately ascending. Cart track a little higher brings us to a clearing, from which a view opens up on our destination and a little further also on Obir, and it turns a little to the right. Next follows a little more of walking on a wide cart track, and then blazes point us to the left on a narrower and gradually also increasingly steep cart track. A little higher from the left joins another cart track, and we continue right and then after few minutes of additional walking, we get to a saddle Žingerc, where we step on the Slovenian side.
We continue in the direction of Virnikov Grintovec, on the path which goes into the forest, and it starts ascending steeper and steeper. A pretty steep path, higher brings us on the main ridge, where it turns to the left. On the ridge, from which beautiful views opening up on surrounding peaks, steepness also decreases. This occasionally very panoramic and on individual spots for slipping dangerous path (in the dry there is no significant danger) we follow all the way to the top of Virnikov Grintovec.
