Pod Krnico - Planina Pungrat

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice highway, take the Podnart (Ljubelj) exit, then continue driving on the fast road towards Ljubelj and Tržič. When the fast road ends, we will notice a gas station on the right side, in front of which we turn right downhill towards Tržič. Further, we drive through Tržič, following the narrower road towards Dovžanova soteska and then through the villages Dolina and Jelendol to the hamlet Medvodje. Here at the first crossroad, we continue left in the direction of Košutnik, Dolga njiva, Košutnikov turn, Šija, Kofce and Veliki vrh. Further, we drive on an ascending macadam road, on which we arrive at a crossroad at Košutnik (house nearby). From the crossroad at an altitude of 1080 meters, we continue right, and on a somewhat worse macadam road we drive to the parking lot at some sort of quarry or slide.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we head onto the cart track that branches off to the left from the road. The cart track goes into the forest and ascends moderately, first crossing a smaller and then a larger stream. The cart track, which has some shortcuts, makes some turns and after about 15 minutes brings us to the pastures of the Spodnja Dolga njiva mountain pasture.
After a short walk across the mountain pasture, the path brings us to a junction, where there are signposts.
We continue left in the direction of Košutnikov turn and Kofce (straight to the mountain dairy on the Spodnja Dolga njiva mountain pasture, 1 minute) on the path that ascends transversely into the forest. When we step into the forest, we first cross a grazing fence, then in a few minutes arrive at the next junction.
This time we continue straight (sharply right to Košutnikov turn) and continue on the trail that crosses to the left across occasionally steeper slopes of Košuta. Further on, the path leads us across some panoramic slopes and continues with some shorter ascents and descents. When the path after some time transitions into dense forest, it splits into two parts.
We continue on the right marked path in the direction of Kofce (straight to Tegošče - hut), which ascends more steeply for a while, then brings us to a cart track, which transitions to a larger clearing. We continue across the clearing and follow the signs for Kofce. On the other side of the clearing, we cross a narrow strip of forest, then arrive at the scenic ridge north of the nearby Kisovec (1563 m). Here we continue first right, then slightly left to the west side of the ridge. A crossing through the forest follows, then the path turns right and brings us past a trough with water to the northeastern edge of the Tegoška planina.
The scenic path bypasses the mountain pasture along the upper right edge, then brings us to a grazing fence, which we cross, and on the other side step onto the edge of the neighboring Pungratska planina.
Here an unmarked border path branches off to the right, leading towards the Šija mountain pasture, while we continue straight or slightly left on the marked path, which continues across expansive pastures. A few minutes of gentle descent follow, and the path brings us past hummocky meadows to the shepherd's hut on the Pungrat mountain pasture.
