Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Ljubelj (Tržič), and then we continue driving in the direction of Celovec / Klagenfurt. After Ljubelj tunnel the road starts descending, and we follow it to the crossroad, where slightly right and downwards road towards the settlement Borovlje / Ferlach branches off. The road which is still descending quickly brings us to the mentioned settlement, where we soon cross the railway track. Only a little after the track we join the other road which we follow to the right, and we are driving there in the direction of the settlement Sele / Zell - Pfarre. Right before we get to the mentioned settlement signs for Koča pod Košuto / Koschutahaus point us to the right on at first still asphalt road. Higher, the path leads us also through a smaller hamlet, and then the asphalt ends. We then follow the macadam road all the way to the parking lot at the mountain hut Koča pod Košuto. Use of road costs 4 eur for personal cars and vans, for mopeds and motor bikes 2 eur (June 2013), and we pay it in mountain hut Koča pod Košuto.
Path description:
From the mountain hut, we continue left in the forest, where the path quickly brings us to a marked crossing. From the crossing, we continue left (right Ridovc / Ridovcsäge, Malejska planina / Malealm, saddle Pešinca / Pischenzasattel...) in the direction of Cjajnik / Lärchenturm and Košutnikov turn / Koschutnikturm on the path which it is ascending diagonally towards the left. After few minutes, we get to the next crossing, where we continue straight in the direction of Košutnikov turn (right Cjajnik).
Further, the path starts ascending a little more and with occasional views to mountain walls of Košuta brings us to a saddle Mejnik / Mejniksattel, where we leave the marked path.
From the saddle, we continue left on at first an easy to follow a forest footpath, on which we very quickly get to pastures, where in the summer season they graze sheep. From the pasture a nice view opens up on Obir and on a ridge and walls of Košuta behind us. On the other side of the pasture path returns into the forest and past a smaller cross brings us on with a forest covered peak, which we recognize by the concrete boundary marker.
On the way: Mejnik / Mejniksattel (1484m)
