Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we take the exit Ljubelj and follow the road ahead to the border crossing. Just a few meters before the border crossing we will notice a parking lot on the right side, where we park.
Path description:
At the end of the parking lot, we notice signposts for the mountain hut Koča na Ljubelju, which after some stairs take us to the old Ljubelj road. This road, which is moderately ascending and in winter converted into a sledding track, we follow all the way to the mountain hut Koča na Ljubelju. We reach it after a little less than an hour of walking, with nice views here and there on Košutica, Veliki vrh and Begunjščica.
From the mountain hut, we continue on the road to the Austrian side, where after five minutes of walking signposts direct us to the right into the forest. The path through the forest slightly ascends and after approximately 30 minutes of walking from the end of the road brings us to the border ridge. The path on the ridge is not steep but the slopes along which we walk are steep, therefore especially in wet conditions great caution is needed. In some places we are also helped by fixed safety gear and a ladder. The forest then becomes thinner and the path brings us to the pastures of Grunt. Grunt is an indistinct peak on the path along which we walk.
Here the path from the concentration camp joins from the right, and we continue straight along the ridge beside the border fence. The path then brings us to a junction, where to the left the path to Dovjakovo sedlo branches off. To us, from the right, the path from the mountain pasture Korošica joins. We continue straight along the increasingly panoramic ridge. The path then becomes steep, the forest becomes thinner and gradually disappears entirely. Further we ascend along the panoramic ridge, which is quite wide so there is no major danger. The path then ascends through dwarf pines and brings us to the Austrian side. Here we ascend through a short but quite steep gully back to the ridge. Here we step onto steep grass-covered slopes on the Slovenian side (in wet, risk of slipping). After this ascent over the grass we reach the summit, somewhat exposed ridge, which we then follow to the peak.
