Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we take the exit Ljubelj (Tržič), then continue driving in the direction of Celovec / Klagenfurt. After the Ljubelj tunnel the road starts descending, and on the Austrian side we follow it to the first left turn, where the old Ljubelj road branches off to the right. We park at a suitable spot by the junction, or we can also park higher on the Austrian side of the border crossing Ljubelj.
Path description:
From the starting point we head onto the old Ljubelj road, which is closed to public traffic by a traffic sign. The road first moderately ascends over two hairpin turns, then continues along the stream to the ruins of the former church of St. Lenart, by which stands a somewhat larger sign. Here the road turns left and gradually moves away from the valley. From the road, nice views then start opening up on Palec and other surrounding peaks. The road ahead leads past a smaller junction, where we continue sharply right on the "main" road, then in a moderate ascent cross steep slopes (danger of falling rocks, or in winter time snow avalanches and slips). Higher the road makes a few more hairpin turns, then brings us to a marked junction.
From the junction we continue left in the direction of the marked path to Košutica / Loibler Baba (straight to Koča na Ljubelju less than 10 minutes) and continue the path on the poorer road. The marked path soon turns right upward from the road and initially ascends steeply. The path soon levels out and turns left. A traversing ascent to the left follows on a path that is usually quite slippery. After a few minutes of traversing ascent the path brings us to the border ridge, where it first ascends gently to moderately, higher up quite steeply for some time. During the steep ascent, a nice view opens up towards Stol, Vrtača, Palec... on looking back, and the steep path brings us to a metal ladder, where with the help of safety gear we ascend steeply. Above the ladder a few more steel cables follow, then the path levels out and the demanding section over Rjave peči is behind us. A little further we cross a pasture fence, then the path leads across the grassy slopes of Grunt. With nice views of Lokovnikov Grintovec, Košutica (Ljubeljska Baba), Veliki vrh in the ridge of Košuta and other surrounding mountains, we soon arrive at a marked junction, where we continue right in the direction of Planina Korošica and Hajnževo sedlo (straight Košutica, slightly left Lokovnikov Grintovec).
The path ahead leads on a cart track that descends slightly, meanwhile crossing a few small springs. A little lower a hunter's path from the Ljubelj concentration camp joins from the right, we continue straight and in a few minutes of further walking arrive at Planina Korošica, where on the right side, on a smaller rise we notice the mountain dairy.
On the way: Grunt (1614m)
Trip can be extended to: Hajnževo sedlo ( 30 min) , Hajnžev Praprotnik / Zeller Prapotnik , Lokovnikov Grintovec / Grintoutz , Loibler Baba/Košutica , Veliki vrh (Košuta) (1 h 35 min)
