Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the main road, which leads us over the bridge, and after the bridge, signs for Klemenča Cave direct us left to the forest road, which we continue along the path, which leads us in a few minutes to the crossroads, where we continue to the right in the direction of Klemenča Cave. From the crossroads, walk along the road for only a short time, as you then continue left along the initially wide and gently sloping mountain path. Only a few steps further on, the path passes onto a slope and gradually starts to climb steeper and steeper. The steep path continues up the steep slope, then crosses a torrential ravine and, a little further on, a small stream. After the stream, the path becomes even steeper and climbs up a very steep slope, which is particularly dangerous for slipping in wet conditions. After less than an hour's walk from the starting point, you reach a bench by a small well and just a little further on to a crossroads, where you join the trail from the starting point at the crossroads.
Here the steepness eases, and we continue slightly up the wide path, which soon leads us out of the forest. From here it is just a short climb up a grassy slope to Koča na Klemenči jami below Ojstrica.
From the mountain hut near which there is a marked crossroads, continue left in the direction of Krofička, Strelovec and the thickest larch in Slovenia (to the right of the hut Ojstrica, Škarje, Kocbekov dom na Korošici and Planjava) along the path that goes into the forest and which, after about 10 minutes, leads us to the aforementioned larch, the circumference of which at a height of 130 cm amounts to 464 cm, and the diameter is 147 cm.
At the larch, the marked path turns left and crosses a clearing just ahead, which is full of flowers in spring and summer. The trail then returns to the forest and climbs up a beautifully surfaced and well-maintained mountain path, which after about 1 hour of further walking leads us to a marked crossroads, from where we continue straight in the direction of Krofička (left Strelovec).
From the crossroads onwards the path starts to turn more and more to the right and gradually leads us out of the forest onto slopes covered with bushes. The last of the larch trees are slowly disappearing along the path, which continues along the steeper and steeper slope. With increasingly beautiful views of the surrounding mountains, we soon reach the more technically demanding places. The well-protected path, which initially leads us over short wooden steps, followed by a rope climb up a rubble slope, soon leads us to a ravine exposed to falling rocks. Climb steeply up the gully with the help of a rope, then turn left and continue along a slightly exposed shelf, which quickly leads to the last steep part of the path. Next, with the help of wedges, you can climb to the top of Krofička in a few minutes.
