From Medvode to Medvodje via Šajda could be a subtitle. Anyway, I couldn't find a description of this trail here, but it's worth pointing it out. With PD Medvode today early via Ljubelj to Šajda saddle (starting point also for Obir). From here first following signs for Sedlo Potok, then Geotrail and Meli Košuta. It's a geological trail renovated in 2007 by Slovensko planinsko društvo Celovec which takes us through seemingly impassable scree and fallen trees without major difficulties to the border ridge of Košuta, a bit below Tolsta Košuta (right) or Meli Košuta (left). This part is really worth seeing. The cloudy, windy cover directed us from Tolsta Košuta to Meli Košuta (incorrectly named Mala Košuta in the description on this page). A nice border ridge path leads to it, from it some descent, then ascent to neighboring Plešivec. From there descent to Zgornja Dolga Njiva and to the hut on Spodnja Dolga Njiva, where a shower caught us. Then a walk to Medvodje, where the bus was waiting and a good 7 hours of hiking were done. If tied to your own vehicle, you'd have to return the same way, I think no circular route. You could choose Koča pod Košuto (Koschutahaus) as starting point, but I'm sure you'd miss the nice scenic part. The path from start to Sedlo Potok is nicely exposed in the central part, even somewhat less pleasant than the scree over Meli, but no major issues. From Šajda to Sedlo Potok we took under two hours, from there to Orlovo sedlo a bit less, of course consider it was a group. To Meli Košuta then about 15 minutes and to Pršivec another good half hour, for descent to Medvodje under two. Pasture open, good offer, people friendly. No usual crowds due to weather today.
