Ljubelj - Koča na Ljubelju

Access to starting point:
We leave Gorenjska highway on crossing Podtabor, and then we continue driving towards Tržič and Celovec. When we get to Ljubelj, before the tunnel we turn right on a larger asphalt parking lot, where we park.

Path description:
At the end of the parking lot, right before former border crossing, we will notice on the right side beginning of the footpath and next to it hiking signposts, which point us on the already mentioned footpath. After a short ascent, we step on a macadam road (road which leads to the former border crossing on the mountain pass Ljubelj 1369 meters) and we follow it to the right. The road which is moderately ascending at first leads through the forest and then passes on 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 few hairpin turns road for the last time turns sharply to the left, and after few minutes of additional walking brings us to the mountain hut Koča na Ljubelju.
