Matizovec - Veliki vrh (Košuta)

Access to starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice, we take the exit Ljubelj and follow the road ahead towards the border crossing. We leave the main road at the spot where the signs for »camp and Podljubelj« direct us to the right. When we leave the main road, we will already after a few metres come to a crossroad, where we continue left in the direction of »Kofce«. Further on, we drive through the village on a slightly ascending road and then turn right in the direction of »Matizovec and Kofce«. This occasionally somewhat narrower road, which is asphalted in the lower part, we then follow to a larger marked parking lot, about 150 metres of elevation below the farm Matizovec.

Path description:
From the large free parking lot we continue on a macadam road, on which in approximately 20 minutes we arrive at the farm Matizovec.
From Matizovec we continue on a poorer road in the direction of Dom na Kofcah, where at several successive junctions we carefully follow the markers. After a few minutes of walking on the poorer road or cart track, the markers direct us onto a steep footpath, which first ascends transversely to the left, then transitions to a forested ridge, where it turns slightly to the right. Further, we ascend on a steep mountain path, which higher crosses the cart track and behind it gradually flattens. Just a little further, the forest thins out, the marked path turns right into the forest and a little higher joins the cart track, which ascends transversely to the right. The cart track higher turns to the left, and from the right also joins the marked path from Kala.
From the junction onwards the forest ends, and the increasingly scenic path in 5 minutes of further walking brings us to Dom na Kofcah.
From the mountain hut we continue in the direction of Veliki vrh and Kladivo on an initially somewhat less visible path, which starts to ascend across a scenic meadow. After 15 minutes of walking from the Dom na Kofcah we arrive at a nice viewpoint at the cross.
The path then descends slightly and in a few minutes brings us to the steeper slopes of Košuta. The path then ascends through a belt of dwarf pines, where it brings us to a junction. We continue straight ahead (right Kladivo and Kofce gora) on the path which ascends transversely across increasingly steep slopes. The path, which continues on the bare slope, soon brings us to a short steep section, where a steel cable assists us (easy). After passing this section the path turns slightly to the left and continues relatively steeply ascending across the grassy slope. The increasingly scenic path then brings us into a small valley, up which we climb almost to the border ridge, where the ridge path joins from the right. The path then from the valley again passes onto the southern slopes, where it bypasses the peak »Toplar (2000m)« on the southern side and afterwards brings us below the summit slope of Veliki vrh. The path, which for a while ran along the ridge, here withdraws from it and continues in a transverse ascent on the northern slopes. Higher up the path turns sharply right and then in a few minutes brings us to the scenic summit.
Starting point - Kofce 1:35, Kofce - Veliki Vrh 1:45.
