Spodnja Kokra - Srednji vrh

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice highway, take the exit Kranj - east and follow the road ahead in the direction of Jezersko. Only a few kilometers after the turn-off for Preddvor, we will, on the right side of the road, notice a transformer and a parking lot by it, where we park. Here are also signposts for mountain hut Dom Čemšenik.

Route description:
From the parking lot, first carefully cross the road, then head to the footpath in the direction of the mountain hut Dom Čemšenik. The wide path ascends barely noticeably to the Polajnar homestead, where we step onto the road, which we follow to the right.
The road steeply ascends just after the house, but a little higher it loses the asphalt covering. Further on, the road flattens and turns slightly to the left, where it comes completely close to the Čemšeniški potok stream. A little further, we cross the mentioned stream and immediately after it come to a marked crossroads, where we continue on the left road in the direction of the mountain hut Dom Čemšenik. The road then starts to ascend more steeply again and brings us to the mountain hut Dom Čemšenik after less than 30 minutes of further walking.
From the mountain hut Dom Čemšenik, continue in the direction of Javorov vrh (on the sign Javorjev vrh) on the path that goes into the forest after just a few meters. The initially moderately steep path soon brings us to a torrent gully, along which we then ascend for a while. Higher up, the path turns right and ascends even more steeply. We follow this relatively steep path, which runs through dense forest the whole time, all the way to the junction on the saddle between Potoška gora on the left and Javorov vrh on the right.
Continue right (left to Potoška gora and Sveti Jakob) on the moderately steep path, which after a short ascent brings us to the southwestern ridge of Javorov vrh, from which we get some views towards Cjanovca. The path goes only a little further back into the dense forest, where we reach the next well-marked junction.
Here, continue left in the direction of Srednji vrh, Kališče and Storžič (straight to Javorov vrh 15 minutes) on the path that after a few more steps brings us to a pleasant spring. This is followed by a half-hour crossing of the slopes below Javorov vrh, which ends on the saddle between the mentioned peak and Cjanovca.
Continue straight in the direction of Cjanovca and Srednji vrh (left Hudičev boršt, sharply right Javorov vrh) on the path that begins to ascend more steeply on and along the eastern ridge of Cjanovca. Higher up, the path takes us out of the forest onto slopes covered with dwarf pines, and we continue on the increasingly steep and in places very scenic path. The path, from which beautiful views open up onto Kočna, Grintovec, Kalški greben and Gorenjska, slowly turns slightly to the left. We then follow this increasingly scenic and relatively steep path all the way to the summit of Cjanovca, on which there is a bench and a small cairn.
From Cjanovca, continue north on the path that descends through a belt of dwarf pines to the col between Cjanovca and Srednji vrh. Here we step onto the ridge, which we then follow to Srednji vrh, reaching it after a few minutes of further walking.
Spodnja Kokra - Dom Čemšenik 50 minutes, Dom Čemšenik - Cjanovca 2:30, Cjanovca - Srednji vrh 15 minutes.
