Access to starting point:
We drive to the border crossing Ljubelj, where before the tunnel we turn left towards Zelenica. Then we drive across a small bridge, and then we park on a large parking lot.
Path description:
At the beginning of the parking lot signpost for Stol, Vrtača and Dom na Zelenici point us on a wide cart track which starts ascending by the torrent. When a little higher the cart track turns left, we continue straight on the mountain path which continues through the forest and soon returns on a cart track. Cart track a little higher turns right and brings us out of the forest on a ski track of the former ski slope Zelenica. Next follows a short steeper ascent on a ski slope, and then the path flattens and leads us by the foot of the scree below Begunjščica.
From the marked path soon the path which runs on a transport road branches off to the right, and we continue on "road" to the nearby hut Koča Vrtača.
At the mountain hut, the road turns right, and we continue straight in the direction of the mountain path on Zelenica. A short time we continue below the former one-seater chairlift Zelenica II, and then the path starts ascending steeper on a slope, which is partly overgrown by dwarf pines. After few hairpin turns, we return on a transport road, on which we continue with a view towards the gully Šentanski plaz.
The path ahead leads us on slopes of Spodnji plot (peak, on which they made a sport climbing path), after that from the road we turn right on a footpath which cuts a longer turn. When we return on the road we are already at the upper station of the former one-seater chairlift Zelenica II, and to the mountain hut Dom na Zelenici separates us only few steps of descent.
After the mountain hut, we continue left and we ascend to half of the children's ski lift, and then on the right we notice signs for Vrtača and Stol, which point us to the right into a lane of a forest. A little further, we cross a connecting lane between children's ski lift and anchor ski lift, and then we cross also the other ski track.
Continuation of the path, we find at smaller boulder, and then we cross slopes below the ridge of Na Možeh. When the crossing ends, we get to a small indistinct valley, where the path branches off to the right in Suho rušje (by the turn off there is usually a cairn).
From the crossing ahead, we for a short time ascend through the forest and then the path brings us on slopes of Vrtača, where we in a gentle ascent cross few lanes of the scree, and occasionally also some really short lane of a forest. Further from the left the path from Dom pri izviru Završnice joins, and a little further, the path splits.
We continue on a little narrower bottom path in the direction of Stol (right Vrtača), from which we already clearly see Srednji vrh. At the next crossing, we continue left downwards in the direction of the cottage Dom pri izviru Završnice (right - Stol and Vrtača) and through a lane of dwarf pines we quickly descend to a saddle Šija, from where there is a nice view towards Stol.
From the saddle Šija we continue straight (left cottage Dom pri izviru Završnice, right - Stol bottom path) and past a smaller bench we start ascending on the ridge. Few minutes we are ascending on the ridge, which mainly on the left side is surrounded by dwarf pines, and on the right side there are also some unvegetated slopes. Higher, the path from the ridge turns a little to the left and then through dwarf pines ascends to a panoramic summit.
