Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we take the exit Ljubelj (Tržič), and then we continue driving in the direction of Celovec / Klagenfurt. After the Ljubelj tunnel the road starts descending, and on the Austrian side we follow it to the first left turn, where the old Ljubelj road branches off to the right. We park at an appropriate place by the crossroads, or we can also park higher on the Austrian side of the border crossing Ljubelj.
Path description:
From the starting point, we head onto the old Ljubelj road, which is closed to public traffic by a traffic sign. The road first moderately ascends over two hairpin bends, then continues along the stream to the ruins of the former church of St. Lenart, by which stands a somewhat larger sign. Here the road turns left and gradually moves away from the valley. From the road, nice views then start opening onto Palec and other surrounding peaks. The road further leads past a smaller junction, where we continue sharply right on the "main" road, then in a moderate ascent we cross steep slopes (danger of falling rocks, or in winter snow avalanches and slips). Higher the road makes a few more hairpin bends, then brings us to the marked junction.
From the junction we continue left in the direction of the marked path to Košutica / Loibler Baba (straight to Koča na Ljubelju less than 10 minutes) and continue the path on the poorer road. The marked path soon turns right upward from the road and first ascends steeply. The path soon flattens and turns left. A traversing ascent to the left follows, on a path that is usually quite slippery. After a few minutes of traversing ascent the path brings us to the border ridge, where it first ascends gently to moderately, higher for some time quite steeply. During the steep ascent, looking back a nice view opens towards Stol, Vrtača, Palec..., and the steep path brings us to a metal ladder, where with the aid of fixed safety devices we ascend steeply. Above the ladder a few more steel cables follow, then the path flattens and the demanding part across Rjave peči is behind us. A little further we cross a grazing fence, then the path leads us across the grassy slopes of Grunt. With nice views of Lokovnikov Grintovec, Košutica (Ljubeljska Baba), Veliki vrh in the ridge of Košuta and other surrounding mountains, we soon arrive at a marked junction, where we continue right in the direction of the mountain pasture Korošica and Hajnževo sedlo (straight Košutica, slightly left Lokovnikov Grintovec).
The path ahead leads us on a cart track that slightly descends, meanwhile crossing a few small springs. A little lower a hunting path from the concentration camp Ljubelj joins from the right, we continue straight and in a few minutes of further walking arrive at the mountain pasture Korošica, where on the right side, on a smaller rise we notice the mountain dairy.
From the mountain pasture Korošica we continue following the signs for Hajnževo sedlo, Veliki vrh and Kofce, on the path that leads us from the mountain pasture into the forest. Through the forest we continue traversing to the right, the path leads us past a wooden trough, after which we step onto a panoramic gentle grassy slope. On the other side of the meadow the forest is gradually replaced by dwarf pines, we follow the occasionally somewhat steeper path to Hajnževo sedlo, from which a nice view also opens towards Austria.
