Zgornje Jezersko - Roblekova planina

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice highway, take the Kranj - East exit and follow the road ahead in the direction of Jezersko. At Zgornje Jezersko, at the intersection at the gas station, turn left towards the church of St. Ožbolt at Jezersko (straight to the Jezersko border crossing). Continue driving past the Hotel Planinka and follow the road to the nearby church of St. Ožbolt. Park near the church, or a little lower on the arranged parking lot by the cemetery.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we first walk to the church of St. Ožbolt and the nearby presbytery, from there we continue on the marked hiking path towards Virnikov Grintovec. The path first leads along the edge of a panoramic pasture, from where a nice view opens up on the Grintovci and Zgornje Jezersko, and the path quickly enters the forest, where it soon crosses the first stream. The path then ascends somewhat more steeply and brings us to the second stream in a few minutes. Here we continue left, cross the stream and ascend past the sheepfold to the nearby road, which we reach right at its end at the Žmitek homestead.
We continue straight uphill on an initially steep footpath that ascends through the forest. The path ahead gradually levels out and then ascends diagonally to the right. A little higher we reach an old cart track, along which we ascend to a smaller saddle between Žmitkov špic (on maps Olipov rob) on the left and Žmitkov vrh on the right.
Here a short unmarked path to Žmitkov špic branches off to the left, while we continue right along the cart track, from which a nice view opens up on Virnikov Grintovec, to the nearby road, which we reach right at its end.
When we reach the end of the road, the signpost for Virnikov Grintovec directs us left onto the road, but we continue straight on the unmarked cart track, which begins to ascend through the forest. The initially easy-to-follow cart track becomes increasingly grassy and higher turns slightly to the right, where it ends. From the end of the cart track we continue on a less beaten footpath that ascends diagonally to the right, which quickly brings us to an indistinct ridge, where it turns left and after a few steps brings us to the junction of several cart tracks. We continue straight ahead again and take the cart track that begins to descend more steeply. After about 5 minutes of descent we reach the forest road, which we follow to the left. Along the road we ascend moderately, and higher it leads across quite panoramic slopes, from which a nice view opens up on the highest peaks of the Kamnik-Savinja Alps. Higher the road levels out and brings us to the border ridge. When the road crosses to the Austrian side, we leave it and continue slightly right on the easy-to-follow path that proceeds along the border ridge. We continue along the gentle ridge to the nearby Roblekova planina, which we reach after 5 minutes of further walking.
