Safety information
Sure-footedness and a head for heights are prerequisites for the route.Roadbook
The start is at the parking lot by Dom Planincev. From there, it first goes flat for 500 meters along a forest path towards the southeast before the first ascent leads past Koca Klemenci to the Skrbina saddle. Here begins the further ascent, partly secured and exposed on the ridge, partly alongside, up to the first summit - Ojstrica. Then follows an easy up and down past Lucka Baba and Planjava until a major descent to the Kamnisko saddle. There is also a hut there to replenish supplies. From the Kamniska Koca hut, the route continues first gently ascending, then steeply 200 meters up to the summit of Brana. After the 200-meter descent on the same path back, the route continues over crumbly and exposed terrain with few markings to Turska Gora. The following descent to the foot of Skuta is easier. Then follows the partly secured and partly exposed ascent to Skuta. From the summit, it goes first gently, then steeper and more exposed to the Minarsko saddle, from which it is only a few meters, partly again secured and exposed, to the highest point of the route, the summit of Grintovec. This is followed by a short descent and ascent towards Kocna, before the long descent to the Ceska Kocna hut begins. Here supplies can be replenished once more before the final ascent over the Kranjska Koca hut to the Sanntaler saddle. From there, it's only easy terrain back to the valley above the Okreslju Dom.
