Suhadolnik - Cojzova koča na Kokrskem sedlu (old path )

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice highway, take the exit Kranj - east and follow the road ahead in the direction of Jezersko, but only to the village of Kokra. In the mentioned village, we will notice a road a few meters before the road crosses the bridge over the river Kokra that runs towards Suhadolnik. The turn-off of the road is located when we are on the right side of the river (left bank); the road sign is approximately 7 km. We follow this road to a parking lot, which is located approximately 300 m before the farm Suhadolnik.

Route description:
At the beginning of the parking lot, we notice hiking signposts, which point us to a road, on which in less than 5 minutes of walking we arrive at a smaller crossroad by the farm Suhadolnik. Here we continue on the right road, which we follow for approximately another 5 minutes, or to the spot where the blazes lead us onto an ascending cart track. Further on, we ascend briefly along the cart track, then the blazes direct us right onto a footpath that moderately ascends through the forest. Higher up, we return to the cart track, which a few meters further brings us to a forest road, which we follow to its end (this takes approximately half an hour).
At the end of the road, the marked path splits into two parts. We continue on the right path in the direction of Cojzova koča on the old path (the left path (over Taška) is somewhat shorter and also technically somewhat more demanding).
At first we still walk along the road, after some 10 m it turns into an ascending cart track, from which a marked footpath soon branches off slightly to the right. The path first ascends parallel to the cart track, then turns somewhat to the right and quickly brings us to the lower part of a mighty gully. To the constriction of the gorge we ascend along the torrent bed, then the blazes direct us left onto a quite steep path that leads us further along a somewhat exposed slope. Higher, the path temporarily passes into a belt of dwarf pines, then brings us to steep slopes that are especially dangerous for slipping when wet. This is followed by approximately 15 minutes of traversing these slopes, where emergency fences assist us on the most exposed sections.
Higher, the path over Taška joins us from the left, and the slope we are walking on quickly flattens. This is followed by a short traversing ascent to the right and the path brings us to a larger plain, where the "old hut" once stood. Through high grass we walk to the other side of the plain, where we arrive at a marked junction.
We continue straight ahead (left to Kočna over Dolce) along a moderately steep path that ascends further through a belt of scrub. Higher up, the path temporarily flattens completely, then brings us among the dwarf pines, where it begins to ascend more steeply. We follow this somewhat steeper path, from which increasingly beautiful views open up, all the way to Cojzova koča na Kokrskem sedlu.
