Tolsti vrh or Zaloška gora, as it is called in places on the south side of the village Zalog at the foot, is the highest peak of Kriška gora, an elongated ridge between Tržiška Bistrica in the west, the Lomščica valley in the north and the Gorenjska plain between Trstenik and Križe in the south. Kriški gora is also called Kokovnica (in some documents Kukovnica) in the villages on the northern side of the mountain, after the words kok or kuk, which means a stone horn that rises from a grassy slope. The north side is wooded, in some places up to the summit ridge, which is quite rocky and notched by ravines. Even the southern slopes are mainly covered by forest, only the upper steep slopes are grassy. The grasslands are rich in mountain flora. Approximately in the middle of the southern slope is a large terrace with the village of Gozd, fields and meadows and a mountain shelter. From Tolsti vrh and the ridge of Kriška gora there is a very beautiful view of the Gorenjska plain with Kranj, Golnik, Radovljica and other places, the valley of Lomščica, Košuta, Julijce and other mountains, and the most beautiful is the view of the nearby Storžič.
