Veliki Zvoh

 

Mountains: Kamnik - Savinja Alps

Latitude/longitude: 46,3093°N / 14,546°E

Altitude: 1971 m  

Description: Veliki Zvoh is the highest point of the ski resort Krvavec. The cable car does not reach the very peak, but stops only a few meters short. A few meters below the peak, a lake was made, which is intended for the need of artificial snow production for the skiing slopes. The peak, which also has a signature box, has a beautiful view towards Kalški greben ridge and surrounding peaks. It presents a beautiful view of Storžič and a part of Julian alps, too.

Access to starting point:

1. From the highway Ljubljana - Jesenice, take the exit Vodice then continue to the first crossroads with a traffic light in Vodice, turning left towards Cerklje na Gorenjskem and Brnik. When you reach the main roundabout in Spodnji Brnik, continue driving towards Cerklje and the Krvavec ski resort. At the end of the town of Cerklje na Gorenjskem, leave the main road which continues towards Velesovo and Visoko and continue slightly to the right towards Krvavec ski resort. Continue to the village Grad, where markings for the settlement Ambrož pod Krvavcem will direct you to the right, onto a steep asphalt road (going straight brings you to the lower station of the cable car Krvavec and Štefanja Gora). When the incline on the steep road evens out a bit, you reach the crossroads, where you continue left towards the settlement Ambrož pod Krvavcem (straight settlements Ravne, Apno and Šentruška Gora). A bit further on, the road transitionally turns into a slight descent, then climbs over slopes that occasionally offer quite a good view. Higher, we reach Ambrož pd Krvavcem, where we drive around the church of St. Ambrož and tourist farm Pr Ambružarju on the left side. From the farm, the road passes into a forest, then climbs all the way to the Jezerca peak, where you will find a large, orderly parking lot. The road gets flatter here and turns left, then, about 500 m on, it takes us to a crossroads where we turn right towards Kriška Planina (straight on is the top station of the cable car and the mountain lodge on Gospinec). Only a short, steep climb follows and we reach the parking lot at the edge of Kriška Planina.

Recently, the road from the Jezerca peak to Kriška Planina had been closed, which extends the hike for approximately 15 minutes.

 

 

2. From the highway Jesenice - Ljubljana take the exit Kranj - vzhod then continue to drive towards Brnik, Komenda and Mengeš. When you reach the main roundabout in Spodnji Brnik, continue driving towards Cerklje and the Krvavec ski resort. At the end of the town of Cerklje na Gorenjskem, leave the main road which continues towards Velesovo and Visoko and continue slightly to the right towards Krvavec ski resort. Continue to the village Grad, where markings for the settlement Ambrož pod Krvavcem will direct you to the right, onto a steep asphalt road (going straight brings you to the lower station of the cable car Krvavec and Štefanja Gora).

Only a short, steep climb follows and we reach the parking lot at the edge of Kriška Planina.

Recently, the road from the Jezerca peak to Kriška Planina had been closed, which extends the hike for approximately 15 minutes.

 

Path description: From the parking lot we head onto the wide dirt track, which passes under the cable car and climbs across pastures (direction Dom na Krvavcu mountain lodge). The reasonably steep path brings us to the Dom na Krvavcu mountain lodge in about 30 minutes of walking, from where we have a lovely view of Gorenjska. We continue towards Zvoh along the road, which takes us past the chapel and transmitters at Krvavec and to the Razor saddle (saddle between Krvavec and Veliki Zvoh), where there is a crossroad. We continue straight along the ridge (right for peak of Krvavec, 5 minutes) and ever steeper transport and rescue road, which is occasionally cobbled. We follow the edge of the skiing slope to the accumulation lake on top of Veliki Zvoh. From the lake, we ascend the nearby peak, then cross to the wire fence to reach the inscription box, only a few steps below the peak.

 

The hike can be extended to the following destinations: Koren peak, Kalška gora, Kalški greben

Path description: At the upper station of the cable car to Krvavec, we notice numerous mountaineering direction signs. We head towards the lodge Dom na Krvavcu and Marija Snežna, along a poorly visible path, which climbs along the grassy slope almost straight upwards. The poorly visible path leads us higher through the grazing fence, beyond which it becomes somewhat easier to follow. The reasonably steep path then brings us to the Dom na Krvavcu lodge, which we could already see from the upper ski lift station (we can reach it along a gravel road of lesser quality as well). We continue towards Zvoh along the road, which takes us past the chapel and transmitters at Krvavec and to the Razor saddle (saddle between Krvavec and Veliki Zvoh), where there is a crossroad. We continue straight along the ridge (right for peak of Krvavec, 5 minutes) and ever steeper transport and rescue road, which is occasionally cobbled. We follow the edge of the skiing slope to the accumulation lake on top of Veliki Zvoh. From the lake, we ascend the nearby peak, then cross to the wire fence to reach the inscription box, only a few steps below the peak.

 

The hike can be extended to the following destinations: Koren peak, Kalška gora, Kalški greben

From the farm, the road passes into a forest, then climbs all the way to the Jezerca peak, where you will find a large, orderly parking lot.

 

Path description: At the end of the parking lot, where the road turns left and the road towards the nearby Jezerca peak leads right, we notice red mountain direction signs, which direct us straight onto the marked footpath towards Kriška peak, Koren peak, Košutna, Kompotel and Mokrica, which climbs through the pastures of the already mentioned peak. After a shorter ascent, we reach the dirt track and follow it left, where we cross the peak Kržišče (1658 m). The dirt track which we are walking on quickly divides into two parts, we continue on the lower one. Transitionally, we see a lovely view of Kranj, Škofja Loka hills and Storžič, then the path begins to descend slightly. A few minutes of walk follow until we reach the parking lot in the lower part of Kriška mountain.

Here, the marked path towards the Koren peak continues slightly to the right while we proceed straight forward onto the other side of the valley, where we begin to climb the grassy slope towards the nearby settlement. After a shorter ascent, we reach the pasture hut Pr Florjan, which we pass along the right side. Above the pasture hut, we gradually begin to walk along a well trodden but poorly marked path, which climbs steeper along the grassy slope. Higher, we reach a poorer, partly grassy dirt track and continue to the place where it turns right. From this curve, we take a slightly less visible path, which, in a few minutes, takes us to the Dom na Krvavcu mountain lodge.

At the Dom na Krvavcu mountain lodge we step onto a gravel road, beginning to ascend towards Krvavec and Zvoh. As we continue to ascend with a lovely view of the Storžič group of peaks, Kočna and Grintovec, the path leads us past the transmitter tower onto somewhat steeper slopes near the top of Krvavec. Here, the road becomes flatter and crosses eastern slopes of the peak, soon bringing us to Razor saddle.

 

At the saddle, from the right and almost unnoticeably, an unmarked path from the Koren peak joins us (the path splits from the marked path Kriška Planina - Koren peak, a bit before the Koren peak itself), while we continue straight to the nearby red directional signs, placed a bit before a crossroad, where, slightly to the left, a path splits off towards the mountain Dolga Njiva. We keep going straight here as well, climbing steeply on a rescue road, which is cobbled at its steepest part. Higher, the incline is gradually reduced, bringing us to the accumulation lake, which is intended for artificial snow creation for the skiing slopes. We pass the lake on the left side, continuing slightly to the right, reaching the lookout peak of Zvoh in a few minutes.

The stamp and signature book are somewhat below the peak, by the marked path, continuing towards Koren peak.

When the skiing resort is operational, walking along the part of the path which crosses the skiing tracks is forbidden.

 

The hike can be extended to the following destinations: Koren peak, Kalška gora (3 h 20 min), Kalški greben (2 h 45 min)

From the farm, the road passes into a forest, then climbs all the way to the Jezerca peak, where you will find a large, orderly parking lot.

 

Path description: At the end of the parking lot, where the road turns left and the road towards the nearby Jezerca peak leads right, we notice red mountain direction signs, which direct us straight onto the marked footpath towards Kriška peak, Koren peak, Košutna, Kompotel and Mokrica, which climbs through the pastures of the already mentioned peak. After a shorter ascent, we reach the dirt track and follow it left, where we cross the peak Kržišče (1658 m). The dirt track which we are walking on quickly divides into two parts, we continue on the lower one. Transitionally, we see a lovely view of Kranj, Škofja Loka hills and Storžič, then the path begins to descend slightly. A few minutes of walk follow until we reach the parking lot in the lower part of Kriška mountain.

 

From the parking lot, we continue towards the Koren peak along a poor gravel road, which passes below an underpass under the skiing track. The marked path turns slightly to the left after the underpass so that we continue to climb parallel to the road next to a line of spruce trees. After a few minutes of mild ascent, we reach the eastern edge of Kriška peak, where a smaller watering area for animals can be seen. We continue slightly to the left, past the pasture fence (right Osredek peak and Kamnik peak), continuing the slight ascent in an approximately same direction. The path continues from the peak onto somewhat steeper slopes of Krvavec, past which we diagonally ascend to the observation point, from which we have a beautiful view of Kržišče (Pokovše), crest of the Kamnik peak, Korošica valley, Velika Planina and nearby Košutna and Veliki Zvoh.

 

From the observation point, a few steps to the right of the path, we begin to decent more steeply towards the hunting cottage above the Korošica valley. When the descent ends and the path evens out without major altitude changes, we reach a visible but poorly marked crossroad, where the path turns to the right towards the aforementioned hunting cottage and beyond that towards the valley of Korošica and valley of Kamniška Bistrica. On this crossroads, we continue slightly to the left and begin to ascend lightly through a forest. The path quickly passes from the forest to the brush, then past a pasture fence slowly brings us to the next unmarked crossroads, which is in the middle of a sharp right turn.

 

A marked footpath towards the Koren peak continues sharply to the right while we continue straight onto a less trodden but still easily visible trail, which passes towards the left across the slopes under Veliki Zvoh. While crossing, we soon cross a smaller ravine, which does not represent a challenge in snowless conditions, but should there still be snow, which can happen in late spring or early summer, the crossing is dangerous, as it ends with a leap. Onward, the path climbs diagonally and we have the opportunity to admire beautiful sights and various mountain flowers (Carniolan lily, Turkish lily...). Higher, the path takes us past a smaller scree and an interesting cliff. The cliff, which has a memorial on it, is passed on the left, whereupon we slowly enter an area, where the path is transitionally slightly more overgrown. When the overgrown part ends, we continue slightly to the right, then climb towards the edge of Krvavec skiing slopes along a less clearly visible trail.

 

We reach the skiing slopes on the Razor saddle, where we must first cross the safety fence, then continue right towards Veliki Zvoh (left Krvavec and Dom na Krvavcu lodge) to nearby red directional signs, which are located a bit before a crossroad, where a marked path splits slightly to the left towards the Dolga Njiva mountain. Here we also proceed straight and begin to climb along the transport and rescue road, which is cobbled in its steepest part. Higher, the slope becomes less steep and the path takes us to the accumulation lake, which is intended for the making of artificial snow for the skiing slopes. We pass the lake on the left and continue slightly to the right, climbing the lookout point of Zvoh.

 

The stamp and signature book are somewhat below the peak, by the marked path, continuing towards Koren peak.

When the skiing resort is operational, walking along the part of the path which crosses the skiing tracks is forbidden.

 

The hike can be extended to the following destinations: Koren peak, Kalška gora (2 h 45 min), Kalški greben

Access to starting point:

1a. We first drive to Kamnik, then continue in the direction of Kamniška Bistrica and Črnivec pass. At the settlement Stahovica, we abandon the main road towards the Črnivec pass and continue left towards Kamniška Bistrica and cable car to Velika Planina peak. A few dozen meters before the large parking lot Kraljev Hrib (parking lot is near the lower station of the cable car to Velika Planina), we turn left onto a gravel road, which first descends to the river Kamniška Bistrica, which it crosses by a bridge. On the other side of the bridge, we enter the valley of Korošica, which we continue to drive along. Soon, the first road splits off to the right, but we continue straight on (we can also reach Markova raven along the right road, description 3a) to the next crossroads, where we turn left (straight Markova raven, description 2a). We continue to diagonally climb towards the left, then the road takes a sharp right turn and guides us across several torrents (in times after heavy rain, the road is difficult to drive on or even closed). We drive for a few more kilometres, then, from the slope, arrive into the Korošica valley, where the road takes a sharp right turn, with a wide dirt track or worse road splitting off to the left in the middle of the curve. We park at a suitable place by the road or take the worse road for a few dozen meters more to another, smaller parking area.

 

2a. We first drive to Kamnik, then continue in the direction of Kamniška Bistrica and Črnivec pass. At the settlement Stahovica, we abandon the main road towards the Črnivec pass and continue left towards Kamniška Bistrica and cable car to Velika Planina peak. A few dozen meters before the large parking lot Kraljev Hrib (parking lot is near the lower station of the cable car to Velika Planina), we turn left onto a gravel road, which first descends to the river Kamniška Bistrica, which it crosses by a bridge. On the other side of the bridge, we enter the valley of Korošica, which we continue to drive along. Soon, the first road splits off to the right, but we continue straight on (we can also reach Markova raven along the right road, description 3a) to the next crossroads, where we also continue straight (left Markova raven description 1a). For a while, we ascend lightly next to the Korošica stream, then the road becomes very steep and partly pitted (after heavy rain it is often closed). Higher, a gravel road joins from the right (description 3a), then, after a few 100 meters, it begins to climb steeply in hairpin turns. When we reach a left turn, in the middle of which a poorer road or dirt track turns towards the right, we are at Markova raven. We park at a suitable place by the road or take the worse road for a few dozen meters more to another, smaller parking area.

 

3a. We first drive to Kamnik, then continue in the direction of Kamniška Bistrica and Črnivec pass. At the settlement Stahovica, we abandon the main road towards the Črnivec pass and continue left towards Kamniška Bistrica and cable car to Velika Planina peak. A few dozen meters before the large parking lot Kraljev Hrib (parking lot is near the lower station of the cable car to Velika Planina), we turn left onto a gravel road, which first descends to the river Kamniška Bistrica, which it crosses by a bridge. On the other side of the bridge, we enter the valley of Korošica, which we continue to drive along. Soon, we reach the first crossroads, where we take a sharp right turn (straight for Markova raven descriptions 1a and 2a). After a shorter drive, we reach a slope above the river Kamniška Bistrica, where we take a left turn on the nearby crossroads (straight, the road returns to the main road towards Dom at Kamniška Bistrica). The path climbs next to a torrent for a while, then turns left and crosses the Mokrica slopes. A bit to the right, a road begins that ends a few 100 meters later in a forest, but we continue to the point, where it joins a road, which leads across the valley of Korošica (description 2a). Here, we continue slightly to the right, while the road rises in a few steep hairpin turns. When we reach a left turn, in the middle of which a poorer road or dirt track turns towards the right, we are at Markova raven. We park at a suitable place by the road or take the worse road for a few dozen meters more to another, smaller parking area.

 

1b. From Gornji Grad, we cross the Črnivec pass or from Luče, we cross the Volovljek pass towards Kamnik, take the main road to the end of the Stahovica settlement, where we turn right towards Kamniška Bistrica and cable car to Velika Planina peak. A few dozen meters before the large parking lot Kraljev Hrib (parking lot is near the lower station of the cable car to Velika Planina), we turn left onto a gravel road, which first descends to the river Kamniška Bistrica, which it crosses by a bridge. On the other side of the bridge, we enter the valley of Korošica, which we continue to drive along. Soon, the first road splits off to the right, but we continue straight on (we can also reach Markova raven along the right road, description 3b) to the next crossroads, where we turn left (straight Markova raven, description 2b). We continue to diagonally climb towards the left, then the road takes a sharp right turn and guides us across several torrents (in times after heavy rain, the road is difficult to drive on or even closed). We drive for a few more kilometres, then, from the slope, arrive into the Korošica valley, where the road takes a sharp right turn, with a wide dirt track or worse road splitting off to the left in the middle of the curve. We park at a suitable place by the road or take the worse road for a few dozen meters more to another, smaller parking area.

 

Path description: From the starting point we continue along a wider dirt track or worse road, which, after a few dozen meters, brings us to the second "parking area" or turning area, from where we continue straight onto a somewhat narrower dirt track, turning left. After a few minutes, the track splits into two parts, we continue along the right, marked one, but only for a few minutes, as the marks take us further right, onto a marked trail towards Kamnik peak, Krvavec and Koren peak (the exit isn't marked specially, so we must pay attention to follow the regular markings), which begins to climb through a forest. The path climbs on the right side of the nearby torrent and has a fairly steep incline. We follow it to the next, this time somewhat better marked, crossroad.

 

On the crossroad, we turn right in the direction of the sign "ZA VRATA" and continue through a gradually less thick forest, occasionally crossing a clearing, meadow, or smaller scree, from where we have a beautiful view mainly onto the peaks around the valley of Korošica. The path takes us to the foot of a shorter wall, where, right and upwards, an unmarked path leads to the Koren peak, as well as a diagonal hunting path to the Medvedja cave.

 

From the mentioned crossroads, we continue to the left, passing the nearby peak on the left. A short descent follows first, taking us to a smaller, refreshing spring, which sadly dries out during the days of draught. The path then takes us to the left side of the spring and begins to climb again. An ascent follows through a short stretch of brush, then onto a grassy slope, where it is more difficult to follow, but marked, albeit the markings are rare. After approximately 20 minutes of ascent from the spring, we reach a smaller hunting cottage, above which the path turns left and joins a better trodden and marked path, leading from Kriška mountain peak to Koren peak.

 

Once we reach the mentioned path, we continue to the right and diagonally climb through a forest. The path quickly passes from the forest to the brush, then past a pasture fence slowly brings us to the next unmarked crossroads, which is in the middle of a sharp right turn.

 

A marked footpath towards the Koren peak continues sharply to the right while we continue straight onto a less trodden but still easily visible trail, which passes towards the left across the slopes under Veliki Zvoh. While crossing, we soon cross a smaller ravine, which does not represent a challenge in snowless conditions, but should there still be snow, which can happen in late spring or early summer, the crossing is dangerous, as it ends with a leap. Onward, the path climbs diagonally and we have the opportunity to admire beautiful sights and various mountain flowers (Carniolan lily, Turkish lily...). Higher, the path takes us past a smaller scree and an interesting cliff. The cliff, which has a memorial on it, is passed on the left, whereupon we slowly enter an area, where the path is transitionally slightly more overgrown. When the overgrown part ends, we continue slightly to the right, then climb towards the edge of Krvavec skiing slopes along a less clearly visible trail.

 

We reach the skiing slopes on the Razor saddle, where we must first cross the safety fence, then continue right towards Veliki Zvoh (left Krvavec and Dom na Krvavcu mountain lodge) to nearby red directional signs, which are located a bit before a crossroad, where a marked path splits slightly to the left towards the Dolga Njiva mountain. Here we also proceed straight and begin to climb along the transport and rescue road, which is cobbled in its steepest part. Higher, the slope becomes less steep and the path takes us to the accumulation lake, which is intended for the making of artificial snow for the skiing slopes. We pass the lake on the left and continue slightly to the right, climbing the lookout point of Zvoh.

 

The stamp and signature book are somewhat below the peak, by the marked path, continuing towards Koren peak.

When the skiing resort is operational, walking along the part of the path which crosses the skiing tracks is forbidden.

 

The hike can be extended to the following destinations: Koren peak, Kalška gora, Kalški greben
