Suhadolnik - Cojzova koča na Kokrskem sedlu (via Taška)

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice highway, take the Kranj - east exit and follow the road ahead in the direction of Jezersko, but only to the village of Kokra. In the mentioned village, a few meters before the road crosses a bridge over the river Kokra, we will notice a road which 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 then follow this road to a parking lot, which is located approximately 300 meters before the farm Suhadolnik.

Route description:
At the beginning of the parking lot, we notice hiking signposts, which point us on a road, on which in less than 5 minutes of walking we arrive at a smaller crossroad at 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, for a short time we ascend the cart track, then the blazes direct us right onto a footpath which moderately ascends through the forest. Higher, we return to the cart track, which only a few meters further brings us to a forest road, which we then follow to its end (to here we need approximately half an hour).
At the end of the road, the marked path splits into two parts. We continue on the left path (right somewhat easier "Old path"), which further ascends on a gentle cart track. A little further ahead the blazes direct us slightly right onto torrent deposits of sand, and the path on the other side continues through the forest, where it starts to ascend steeper and steeper. Higher, we come to a smaller cavity, and the path behind it becomes technically demanding. With the help of a steel cable we ascend one level higher, and the path then continues on a steep slope, where occasionally some peg helps us. Higher, the path turns right, ascends transversely over steep and especially in wet slippery-dangerous slopes, and then brings us to an excellently secured passage. With the help of wooden steps or a ladder and the help of a steel cable, we ascend the steep slope, which without the mentioned safety devices would be very dangerous. Higher, a few more pegs help us, the path then flattens and crosses a short exposed slope, where an emergency fence helps us. Only a little further we come to the next ladder, next to which there is no steel cable, but the passage is not particularly demanding. A short descent into a smaller gully follows, which we then also cross. On the other side of the gully we steeply ascend (a few staples help us), then the path gradually flattens and brings us in a few dozen steps of further walking to the spot where the somewhat easier "Old path" joins.
A short transverse ascent follows 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 Kočna via Grdi graben) on a moderately steep path, which further ascends through a belt of shrubs. Higher, the path temporarily completely flattens, then brings us among the dwarf pines, where it starts 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.
