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 gradually passes on a more and more panoramic ridge. Here the marked path branches off slightly to the left, which bypasses the peak Kamnek, and we continue slightly right and after 3 minutes of additional walking ascend on panoramic Kamnek (on maps Kamnik).
From Kamnek we continue straight on at first still panoramic ridge and then the path passes into a low forest and starts descending. When the path flattens path in Slap branches off to the right, and from the left joins already mentioned path, which bypasses Kamnek.
We continue straight and 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 unmarked path on Veliki vrh nad Završnikom branches off slightly to the left (5 minutes), and we continue slightly right on the eastern side of the mountain, where we then cross slopes of Veliki vrh. Slope quickly flattens and the path brings us on a grassy ridge, on which with nice views, we descend to the near road. Wider macadam road we only cross and we continue the ascent on a wide cart track in the direction of Kofce. At the nearby holiday cottage cart track ends, and we continue slightly right on a forest path which starts ascending steeper through the forest. The path further leads on occasionally quite steep ridge, after that both path and also slope flatten out and bring us on a cart track. On the cart track, we descend to a smaller saddle, where from the left joins the path from the farm Završnik, and we go slightly right and we continue on a wide and gently sloping path, on which in 10 minutes of additional walking, we get to Kal, where there is a crossing of multiple paths.
Here we continue slightly right and in few steps we walk to the nearby cottage Zavetišče na Kalu.
