Kanonir - Kozji vrh

Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Preddvor or to the settlement Tupaliče (to here from the Gorenjska motorway or Kranj), then we continue driving in the direction of Jezersko. When we arrive in the municipality of Jezersko, we will soon notice the signs for Gostišče Kanonir. After the inn, we go left onto the road in the direction of Dol - Podstoržič and the Kovk farm. Further on, we drive on a somewhat narrower road, which leads us past more houses, and after a few 100 m of additional driving we arrive at an intersection, where a steep road branches off to the left, along which the marked path to Kozji vrh also continues. We park in a suitable place by the intersection.

Route description:
From the starting point, we continue on the left road in the direction of Kozji vrh, beside which we notice that from 20.7. to 20.10. further driving is forbidden. We walk for about 20 minutes on a fairly steep road, then we emerge from the forest onto the edge of the pasture Robci, from where a nice view opens towards the Kočna massif.
From Robci, which are located on the saddle between Macesnovec (1042 m) on the left and Kozji vrh (1628 m) on the right, we continue right onto the cart track in the direction of Kozji vrh. The cart track quickly takes us into the forest, through which we begin to ascend more steeply. At a few smaller junctions, we follow the blazes; higher up, the cart track turns into a mountain path, which then mostly ascends transversely to the right, crossing several gullies and steep slopes in the process. In wet conditions, there is a greater risk of slipping on some sections, and even in dry conditions, extra caution is needed in places. Higher up, some views open through the treetops, and the path takes us below the cliffs of Kozji vrh, where there is a greater probability of falling rocks, especially in springtime. Below the cliffs, the path leads across a small scree and mostly along a steep slope. When the traverse ends, the path brings us to an indistinct forested saddle between Kozji vrh on the left and Turni (1432 m) on the right.
Here, a "path" branches off to the right, which leads below Turni and continues along the ridge of Licjanovec (1733 m) to Mali Grintovec (1813 m); we continue left through dense forest on the marked path to Kozji vrh. For some time we ascend through thick forest, then the path runs along the edge of the northwestern ridge of Kozji vrh, where it becomes quite steep. With occasional views of the Karavanke (Košuta, Obir...), we ascend steeply for a while, then the occasionally slightly exposed path becomes less steep and, together with the ridge, turns slightly to the right. A few minutes of gentle ascent along the panoramic ridge follow, and the path brings us to the 1628 m high Kozji vrh.

Along the route: Sedlo Kozji vrh (1350m)
