Spodnja Kokra - Skutman (via Kopa)

Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Jesenice, we take the exit Kranj - east and follow the road ahead in the direction of Zgornje Jezersko. In the village Kokra, at the road sign between 10.5 and 10 km, a road branches off to the right downwards towards Spodnja Kokra (at the crossroad, there are also hiking signposts). Immediately after the road crosses the river Kokra, we park on the parking lot by the road.

Route description:
At the beginning of the parking lot, we notice a blaze, which directs us right onto a footpath that ascends on overgrown stairs. The path then flattens and higher up brings us to the road, which we follow to the right. After a short ascent, we come to a smaller crossroad, where we continue right, and we follow the road only a few dozen meters to a decaying house. At the decaying house, blazes direct us onto a cart track (the road here turns right), which we then follow only a short time, as the marked path turns right and brings us past a cross to a stream. The path crosses the aforementioned stream and behind it starts to ascend more steeply. The steepness soon eases and the path brings us in a moderate ascent, which almost entirely runs through the forest, after a good hour of walking to the ridge and the indistinct saddle Davovec, where there is a marked junction.
From the junction, we continue right (left Krvavec), at the nearby junction of cart tracks to the right of the right cart track, so that we ascend parallel to the upper cart track. Higher up, we temporarily join the cart track, then leave it and continue the path again slightly to the right, at first still parallel to the cart track. A short ascent follows and the path brings us to the summit of Kopa.
From Kopa, we continue straight in the direction of Skutman, on the path that starts descending along a forested ridge. When after approximately 15 minutes the descent ends, we arrive at a smaller saddle, where there is a marked junction, and we continue straight in the direction of Skutman (left Možjanca and Štefanja Gora).
From the junction onward, the path first continues without major changes in elevation, then descends temporarily, after which it ascends more steeply and brings us in a minute or two of further walking to the summit of Skutman.
The path is marked to the saddle Davovec, from there onward it is only signposted.
