Probably the most fitness is gained on such steep paths, where you pant quite a bit several times (asthma leaves its mark on me), and not only that, thigh muscles and calves burn a lot too. And that's just right, because then the summit with its views rewards the soul and body. Well, you can certainly visit many such hidden peaks where there's no excessive crowd. And that's good too, the more hidden the peaks are, the more pristine nature there is.
Although the day weather-wise wasn't ideal, it was actually wonderful anyway. I like it when it's not always constant sun, as clouds create their own scenery, often making the atmosphere even more mystical.
Quite early we headed towards Jezersko, where at Kanonir we turn off the road and first on asphalt surface, then on gravel steeply uphill to a small parking lot (attention, forestry work). The sign about the fierce ram still greets us friendly , which this time wasn't on display. But I'm really curious how you determine it's really fierce. Maybe by the owner? We climb quickly on the forest road, which in these years since I wasn't here hasn't changed much, nor lost its steepness. You gain height quickly, the higher you are, the wider the views unfold. I also glanced towards Obir, although I was more looking forward to that view of Storžič, which I observed years ago. Several times we crossed torrent gullies over which the path leads. The path due to recent rain is quite eroded in places, so we carefully stepped on what was left of it. All the time we walked on the northern side, so the ground was wet and slippery, so feet slipped quite a bit several times. Definitely the level of caution on exposed sections was higher than usual. Below the northern walls of Kozji vrh there are still patches of snow in places, and some edelweiss are still blooming nicely. At the saddle we didn't take bigger breaks, but I looked towards the Turni, which I haven't visited yet. I'm waiting for an opportunity to connect them into a cycle of tours around here, all the way to Bašeljski vrh and further to Kališče. Markings led us left, through spruce forest we walked. The last half hour the path becomes vertical. Literally. Due to slippery terrain we didn't refuse occasional handholds, and that's fine. The still upright snags offer exceptional scenery of the upper ridge, that despite approaching end still defy time. And don't yield to it. The friend was pleasantly surprised when she reached the top. Thrilled by all the views it offers. Especially because she's not used to such views here. If we see them daily from Gorenjska plains, these peaks seem easy to us; I mean Cjanovci, Srednji vrh, Mali Grintovec and Bašeljski vrh. They are somehow wilder from Jezersko side. Inaccessible therefore. But actually they are accessible, just a bit of adventurer must be in the hiker to discover such paths. More peaks that the eye reaches, I/we have already visited some, not all. From Belska Kočna there are more such, from Gol vrh to Velika Baba, Kokrška and Jezerska Kočna and Ledinski vrh. That will come too, of course all in its time. So that some shower wouldn't surprise us, we headed slowly back to the start. Only on descent you really see that the steepness is considerable. And that's probably the real reason why people don't visit such and similar peaks very often. Only 20 have visited this wonderful viewpoint this year. They probably know why. We descended quickly and reached the iron horse. Satisfied that the weather held, happy that we safely reached the goal. Full of new adventures and ideas for ahead. Those really never run out, right?
To all who don't know this peak yet, I recommend it. Despite the steepness waiting for you, it's worth visiting for the views. And you'll be in Jezersko too, a place that always delights.
