Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Ljubelj (Tržič), then before the gas station in Bistrica pri Tržiču we turn right downwards, where we quickly come in Tržič. At the crossroad after store Mercator we turn left in the direction of Tržič museum, and then we drive on the road Koroška cesta, which we follow through the center of the town to the nearby pizzeria. Here we turn right through old yard door and then past the parking lot for guests of pizzeria, and children's playground we drive to the parking lot by the castle.
Path description:
From the parking lot by the castle we at first descend on stairs, and then we continue left on a wide path, from which a nice view opens up on Tržič. Only a little further, we get to the chapel, where we continue straight in the direction of the path Radetzkyjeva pot. We continue the ascent on a gently sloping path, after that arrow on a tree points us right, where we quickly get to the nearby gardens. Above the gardens path passes into the forest and starts ascending steeply. Further a well-marked path leads past some more crossings, and then it gradually passes on a more and more panoramic ridge, where it splits into two parts. We continue on a slightly left one, by which Knafelc blazes continue (slightly right - Kamnek - a little less than 5 minutes). Next follows traversing of steep western slopes of Kamnek, from where occasionally a view opens up a little and then we quickly reach the saddle north from the mentioned summit, where there is also a marked crossing.
We continue straight (left downwards - path Milanova pot into Tržič, slightly right - Slap, sharply right - Kamnek) and we start gently to moderately ascending on the ridge of Pirmance. When the ridge becomes quite steep, marked path turns left on a little less steep slopes, on which we continue diagonally towards the right. After few minutes forest gets a little thinner and the path returns on the ridge, which we reach right on a smaller saddle between the peaks Pirmance and Veliki vrh.
Here we leave the marked path which passes on the right eastern side of the mountain and we continue straight upwards on an unmarked, but easy to follow path, on which in 5 minutes of additional walking, we ascend on panoramic Veliki vrh above Završnik.
