Access to starting point:
We drive into Žirovnica, and then we follow the signs for mountain hut Valvasorjev dom pod Stolom. When we get to a crossroad before lake Završniško jezero, from a crossroad we continue straight (left Valvasorjev dom pod Stolom) and further we drive on the left side of the lake. Next follows driving on a macadam road through the valley Završnica. Higher, at the smaller crossroad we continue straight, and then we drive all the way to the parking lot below the mountain hut Tinčkova koča. The last part of the road to the starting point is steeper and often also rough.
Path description:
At the beginning of the parking lot blazes point us to the left in the forest. After few meters, we come to a crossing, where the unmarked path on Stol branches off to the right (path over Zagon), and we continue left on a marked path and further mostly in a gentle ascent through the forest we cross pretty steep slopes, which in snow can be very dangerous for slipping, and also otherwise more caution is needed. Later, the path brings us to a cart track, where we continue left. When a little further we get to a wider cart track on an indistinct ridge, which marked path only crosses, and we continue on a cart track to the right (left Doslovška planina), on the nearby crossings we go on the left cart tracks. Higher, the cart track flattens, and then it brings us to a hunting cottage, from which a beautiful view opens up on part of Julian Alps.
