Ljubelj - Koča na Ljubelju

Access to starting point:
We leave the Gorenjska motorway at the Podtabor junction, and then we continue driving towards Tržič and Celovec. When we arrive at Ljubelj, before the tunnel we turn right onto a larger asphalted parking lot, where we park.

Path description:
At the end of the parking lot, right before the former border crossing, we will notice on the right side the beginning of the footpath and next to it hiking signposts, which direct us to the already mentioned footpath. After a short ascent, we step onto a macadam road (road which leads to the former border crossing on the mountain pass Ljubelj 1369 m) and follow it to the right. The road, which is moderately ascending, first leads us through the forest and then passes to occasionally quite panoramic slopes, from which a nice view opens up on the nearby Košutica and beginning or end of the longest Slovenian ridge Košuta. After a few hairpin turns, the road for the last time turns sharply to the left, and after a few minutes of additional walking brings us to the Koča na Ljubelju mountain hut.
