Geographical structure: Eastern Alps > Kamnik Alps group > Krvavec group.

Veliki Zvoh is not located in the main ridge of Kamnik Alps group but in secondary ridge that comes from Grintovec and Kocna over the Kalski Greben in the middle of the Krvavec group from the north side. The Krvavec group is the small group on the south side of the main ridge of Kamnik Alps group and has many nice mountains with the highest mountain Kalski Greben.

Veliki Zvoh (1971m) is the highest peak of the small group on the south side of the Krvavec group. In this group is also the peak that the whole group gets the name. This mountain is Krvavec (1853m). On its summit comes ski lift that belongs to the skiing area named after this peak Krvavec skiing area.

Veliki Zvoh is the highest point of the Krvavec skiing area and when you look from its summit to the nord yu will admire in the beautiful view on all the mountain in the main ridge of Kamnik Alps group, Karavanke / Karawanken group and Julian Alps group. In good conditions you also see the highest mountain in Austria Grossglockner. But when you will check the view to the south you will recognize the difference. Instead of the steep slopes and dwarf pine are now there long grassy slopes and nice meadows that are very popular for hiking in snowless time because in Winter there is the skiing area. This area is in snowless season is very popular for family trips.
