The route from Preddvor and Lake Črnava runs by the River Kokra and the valley it created. Every now and then, the diverse ascending road serves us up some divine views of the mighty wall of Mt Kočna and Grintovec. The most challenging part of the route is the ascend to Zgornje Jezersko, where enchanting Planšarsko lake leaves us in awe.
