Access to starting point:
Over the border crossing Korensko saddle we drive to Austria and then we continue right towards Beljak / Villach. Still before we cross river Zilja / Gail, we leave the road which leads towards Beljak and we continue driving right in the direction of the lake Baško jezero / Faaker See. Ahead we drive towards the mentioned lake, and after the settlement Stopca / Stobitzen we turn right towards Teharče / Techanting and Žužalče / Susalitch (turn off is poorly marked). In Teharče we turn right towards Žužalče, and then also before we get to Žužalče we continue left on a little narrower road, where also blazes for Blekova planina / Blekowa Alm (path number 685) point us to. Further, we drive on a narrower macadam road which at first leads through the forest and then it brings us on a grassy terrain (pastures), where we get to a smaller crossroad. Here we continue left and then after few 10 meters we park on an appropriate place by the road.
Path description:
Already few meters behind that, when the road goes into the forest, blazes point us to the left on a marked cart track, and at the crossings we follow it right, where also signposts point us to. After few minutes of ascent we return on the road, and then we follow it for quite some time. At the crossroads of roads we follow "main" road, and in a gentle to moderate ascent we follow it to Pridovske koče / Pridouhütten.
Here the road at first slightly descends and brings us into a smaller valley, where from the right side almost unnoticeably joins marked, but quite an overgrown path from the village Grpiče / Korpitch. Here we bypass few cottages, and then the road turns sharply to the right and after few 10 strides it brings us to the spot, where blazes lead left on a footpath which is then ascending through the forest. After a short ascent, we return on the road and after 20 meters we again leave it. Only few meters higher we for the last time cross the road, and then we start steeply ascending through the forest. Higher, we are ascending over steep grassy slope surrounded by lush bushes, and then the path returns into the forest. Still steep path, then crosses a grazing fence and behind it flattens. Next follows a gentle ascent to the border ridge and an increasingly panoramic path (a view on Dobrač and Martuljek group) brings us to the shepherd hut on the mountain pasture Blekova planina.
From the shepherd hut, we return to the sign, which marks national border, and then we continue towards the west, where we quickly notice at first a poorly visible footpath which turns slightly to the left in the forest. Through the forest, we at first ascend on a cart track, and then we continue the ascent on a less beaten footpath which continues direct on the national border. Higher the rare Austrian blazes end, and we follow the worse path by the border ridge. After few minutes, the path flattens and it brings us out of the forest on partly panoramic meadow, where the footpath completely vanishes. We continue by the ridge and after a minute or two of additional walking, we get to the top of Zajčnik.
On the way: Pridovske koče (1276m), Blekova planina (1629m)
