Access to starting point:
We drive to the border crossing Ljubelj and continue on the Austrian side. Soon after noticing a small church on the left side of the road, a road branches off to the left towards the village Poden / Bodental. At the crossroads after the village Slovenji Plajberk / Windisch Bleiberg, we turn left towards Poden / Bodental. In Poden / Bodental, we reach the mountain signposts for Celovška koča / Klagenfurter Hütte, one to the left and one to the right. We head left and drive along the road to the end of the asphalt, where we park in the parking lot near the grazing fences.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we head onto the traffic-closed forest road with signs »Marchenwiese«. The walking forest road through the forest in a gentle ascent brings us to a pleasant meadow, where a beautiful view opens up towards the northern walls of Vrtača and Palec. Further, we cross the meadow on which the footpath is hard to follow and on the other side we look for a cart track which goes slightly upwards into the forest. After a few minutes' walk on the cart track, the blazes direct us to the right onto a footpath which soon crosses a torrent along which it then ascends. The path then withdraws from the torrent a little to the right and brings us to a smaller clearing, where the marked path directs us even a little more to the right. The path ahead ascends steeper and after a good 30 minutes of walking it brings us to a junction, where we continue right (left Celovška koča). The path ahead ascends slightly and past a spring in a few minutes of walking brings us to the mountain pasture Vgrizeva planina, where there are a newer and an older hut and from where a beautiful view opens up.
We bypass the newer and older hut on the right side, then we leave the marked path and continue slightly left on an unmarked path which starts to ascend on a grassy slope. Higher, we reach the ridge and in a few minutes of additional walking we reach the peak of Kosmatica.
Podnar - Vgrizeva planina 1:30, Vgrizeva planina - Kosmatica 0:15.
