Ljubelj - Srednji vrh (above Završnica) (via source of Završnica)

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana–Jesenice motorway, at the Podtabor junction we continue in the direction of Ljubelj and Tržič. We continue driving first on the fast road, then on the regional road, which we follow all the way to the Ljubelj border crossing. Just before the border crossing we turn left (direction Zelenica) and then after a few tens of metres of additional driving, we park on a large parking lot.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we head onto the footpath in the direction of Zelenica, Vrtača and Stol. The cart track, which runs along the left side of the ski slope, brings us after approximately 15 minutes of moderate ascent through the forest to the aforementioned slope, along which we then ascend. The path, which offers nice views of the extensive screes of Begunjščica on the left and the ridge of Ljubeljščica on the right, then brings us in a gentle ascent to the hut on Vrtača. From the hut we continue straight on the marked path, which slowly turns slightly to the left and brings us after a shorter traverse ascent into the belt of dwarf pines. Further on, the path ascends more steeply for a short time and then brings us to the cart track (transport rescue road), which we follow in a moderate ascent to the mountain hut on Zelenica.
From the mountain hut on Zelenica we continue right in the direction of Stol and Vrtača (left Begunjščica) on the path which immediately behind the hut turns left and ascends beside the children's ski lift. Somewhere halfway along the ski lift we come to a less noticeable junction, where the path to Vrtača branches off to the right. We continue straight on the path, which quickly brings us to the top of the children's ski lift. Further, we continue on the wide path, which starts to descend moderately, first along the edge of the second ski lift and then through the forest. After approximately 20 minutes of walking from the mountain hut on Zelenica, the path brings us to the hut at the source of Završnica.
Here we continue right in the direction of Vrtača and Stol on the path, which quickly passes from Smokuška planina into a smaller initially indistinct valley between Srednji vrh on the left and Vrtača on the right. The moderately steep path then brings us after a good half hour of walking from Smokuška planina to the saddle Šija, where the next junction is.
From the saddle we continue left upwards (straight Stol, right Vrtača) on an occasionally poorly traceable path, which in the middle section runs along a somewhat steeper ridge (in winter danger of slipping). Higher up the path turns slightly left and ascends over the belt of dwarf pines to the panoramic summit.
