Access to the starting point:
Leave the Gorenjska Motorway at the Podtabor junction and continue to Ljubelj. After approximately 6 km of driving from Bistrica pri Tržiču, you will reach a crossroads where you turn right into Podljubelj, go right at the crossroads 30 m further, and then park in a suitable place near the Podljubelj branch primary school.
Path description:
Opposite the primary school, signs for Kal and Kofce direct you left onto a side road that starts to climb. After a few houses, the road turns into a forest, then a little higher up it turns right. At this bend, a marked footpath continues straight ahead, and we continue along the road, which loses its asphalt surface. Higher up, the road leads us through the hamlet of Reber, where we continue straight ahead at the crossroads, and a little further on, near the Javorje homestead, the road changes into three branches.
Continue along the upper left-hand road, which climbs to the nearby hunting lodge, and just before the hunting lodge we turn left onto the cart track road, which turns into a forest through hay fields. We continue straight through the forest at several small crossroads, and higher up, at a small pass, we join the path from the hamlet of Reber.
Here again, continue straight ahead and start climbing steeply, and during the ascent you will see a few rare markings. Higher up, we reach the pass between Vrša (1141 m) on the left and Kobel (1203 m) on the right, and then continue along the cart track, which descends gently for the most part. A few minutes further on, the forest ends and the path leads to the crossroads at Kal.
Continue in the direction of Kofc (left Podljubelj, right Dolina, sharp right Završnik), then after a few 10 steps you reach the Shelter on Kal.
