Bodenbauer - Bielschitza/Svačica (on scree)

Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Ljubelj (Tržič), and then we continue driving in the direction of Celovec / Klagenfurt. After the Ljubelj tunnel the road starts descending, and we follow it to a crossroad, where the road into a valley Poden / Bodental branches off to the left. We go on the mentioned road which further leads through Slovenji Plajberk / Windisch Bleiberg and higher Žabnica / Bodental. The mentioned road, we follow to the end of the asphalt by inn Podnar / Bodenbauer, where on an appropriate place by the road we also park.

Path description:
From Podnar near of which we park on extended road we go on a macadam and for public traffic closed forest road in the direction of Mlaka / Märchenwiese and Celovška koča / Klagenfurter Hütte. The road which starts gently ascending soon brings us to the first crossing, where the path towards the farm Vgriz / Ogrisbauer branches off to the right, and we continue straight in the direction of the mountain hut Celovška koča. The road goes a little further in the forest and splits into two parts. We choose the left marked road, and which after approximately 30 minutes of walking from the starting point brings us to Mlaka (flat, ample and panoramic meadow).
Here the road turns slightly to the right, and we continue straight on parallel, but a little poorly visible marked path which continues over the meadow. On the other side of the meadow, the path returns into the forest and it gradually starts moderately ascending. After a short ascent, we get to a smaller crossing, where ski touring path branches off to the left, and we continue straight on a smaller torrent ditch. Some 10 strides higher marked path turns to the right, and we continue by a torrent, where we follow a rough footpath, and which a little ahead turns to the left and through a lane of dwarf pines ascends to an ample scree below Vrtača. Here, the footpath vanishes, and we continue by the lower part of the scree, where here and there we notice a cairn. Further, we are for some time ascending by the lower part of the scree below Vrtača, and then on the right side a nice passage opens to slopes below Svačica. After a shorter diagonal ascent towards the right, we will get to a rough, but well visible footpath which is then ascending between scree and a lane of dwarf pines. We continue the ascent on the mentioned footpath, from which increasingly beautiful views are opening up on surrounding peaks. Higher, the footpath starts vanishing on the scree below Svačica, and if we will pay attention, we will be able to find on the right side barely visible footpath which starts ascending diagonally towards the right. Further, we are ascending over steeper, partly already with grass overgrown scree, which ends, or starts below the cliffs of Svačica. When we reach the bottom edge of the cliffs we join the unmarked path which leads from the saddle Vrata / Matschatcher Sattel towards the saddle Belščica (path, which on left eastern side bypasses Svačica). We follow the mentioned path to the left, and we are ascending on it over occasionally quite steep slopes. Higher, the path flattens and from scree passes on less steep grassy slopes, through which we ascend to the border with Slovenia.
Here we continue right (straight saddle Belščica 3 minutes) and we start ascending on a steep path which continues through a lane of dwarf pines. Higher, the footpath turns few meters to the left and joins the marked path from the saddle Belščica. When we reach the mentioned marked path we step on a ridge and few meters higher it narrows. Next follows a shorter gentle ascent on in parts exposed ridge and the path brings us on panoramic and precipitous peak.
