Globoka dolina - Planina Dolžanka

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice highway, take the Tržič (Ljubelj) exit, then continue driving on the fast road towards Tržič. Here, just before the gas station, turn right and descend to the center of Tržič. Continue driving on a somewhat narrower road, which through the Dolžanovo gorge brings us to the village Dolina and a little higher to Jelendol. Here continue left (straight on the lower road Medvodje) and continue driving on the initially still asphalted road in the direction of the mountain pastures Kofce, Šija and Pungrat. The road then soon becomes macadam and starts to ascend steeply on an occasionally quite rough road. Higher, the road moves away from the bed of the stream Dolžanka and gradually brings us into a somewhat less dense forest. Here we will notice approximately 50 m before the smaller wooden cottage, which we see on the left side, the beginning of the mountain path which leads towards Kofce. Park on one of the several suitable parking spaces along the road.

Route description:
At the starting point, we notice a red mountain signpost with the caption "Kofce čez Dovžanko", which points us left on a marked footpath which ascends through a belt of dense forest. Already after a shorter ascent, we step on a cart track which we still follow through the forest to the left. The cart track soon flattens out entirely, then crosses several successive springs. A short descent follows, then over a smaller wooden bridge we cross the stream Dolžanka, after which we already step on the eponymous mountain pasture.

The trip can be extended to the following destinations: Dom na Kofcah (1 h 5 min), Kofce gora (2 h 5 min), Veliki vrh (Košuta) (2 h 50 min)

We recommend: trips from the same starting point, similar trips
