Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Ljubelj (Tržič), and then we continue driving in the direction of Celovec / Klagenfurt. After the Ljubelj tunnel the road starts descending, and we follow it to a crossroad, where the road into a valley Poden / Bodental branches off to the left. We go on the mentioned road which further leads through Slovenji Plajberk / Windisch Bleiberg and higher Žabnica / Bodental. The mentioned road, we follow to the end of the asphalt by inn Podnar / Bodenbauer, where on an appropriate place by the road we also park.
Path description:
From Podnar near of which we park on extended road we go on a macadam and for public traffic closed forest road in the direction of Mlaka / Märchenwiese and Celovška koča / Klagenfurter Hütte. The road which starts gently ascending soon brings us to the first crossing, where the path towards the farm Vgriz / Ogrisbauer branches off to the right, and we continue straight in the direction of the mountain hut Celovška koča. The road goes a little further in the forest and splits into two parts. We choose the left marked road, and which after approximately 30 minutes of walking from the starting point brings us to Mlaka (flat, ample and panoramic meadow).
Here the road turns slightly to the right, and we continue straight on parallel, but a little poorly visible marked path which continues over the meadow. On the other side of the meadow, the path returns into the forest and it gradually starts moderately ascending. After a short ascent, we get to a smaller crossing, where ski touring path branches off to the left, and we continue straight on a smaller torrent ditch. Some 10 strides higher we leave the ditch, because blazes point us to right (straight at first on and by the ditch, higher through ample scree leads rough partly pathless footpath towards the saddle Belščica) on the path which only a few meters higher joins the forest road. When we step on the road, we follow it to the left and we walk there only to first right turn. At the end of the turn, we leave the marked path, which at first continues on the road and we continue sharply left on unmarked, but easy to follow footpath. The footpath already after few meters turns slightly to the right and starts ascending diagonally through the forest. Higher, the footpath starts ascending steep through the forest, which after a time starts to get thinner. Even a little further forest is gradually changed by a lane of dwarf pines and bushes, the path with increasingly beautiful view, from which views are opening up to mountain walls of Palec, Zelenjak, Vrtača and nearby Svačica, brings us to the spot, where we return on a marked path (marked path is a little longer and technically demanding, but well-secured). When we reach a marked path at first we ascend on it to a smaller well, and from there also to the nearby crossing on the saddle Vrata / Matschatcher Sattel.
On the mentioned saddle worse beaten unmarked footpath branches off to the left, which leads "direct" to a saddle Belščica, and we continue straight and start descending towards the mountain hut Celovška koča. On the part of the path, where the footpath widen into a cart track, marked path on Ovčji vrh (Kozjak) / Geissberg branches off to the right, and we still continue on the path which is slightly descending. A little further, the cart track splits into two parts, and we choose right, on which in few minutes we get to the mountain hut Celovška koča, from which a nice view opens up towards Stol and Vajnež.
Few strides after the mountain hut we continue slightly right (straight on the road Trate / Johannsenruhe, left Svačica, saddle Belščica, Stol...) on at first a poorly visible footpath (beginning of the path isn't marked), which crosses gentle slopes towards the left. The path ahead at first leads above some sources, and then it entirely flattens and leads us a little above huts of the mountain pasture Mačenska planina. After few minutes of easy walking with nice views on mountains, which surround upper part of Medvedji dol / Bärental, we get to the spot, where the path through a thin lane of a forest ascends on an indistinct southwest ridge of Ovčji vrh, where it turns right. Follows few minutes of a moderate ascent through a thinner forest and then the path becomes pretty steep and is ascending on unvegetated southwest slope of an already mentioned summit. Higher, the steepness decreases and the path almost entirely flattens. Next follows an easy walk on a pleasant footpath which a little below the summit joins also the path on the southeastern slope of Ovčji vrh.
From the crossing to the top with a cross then follows only few steps of a moderate ascent.
The starting point - Celovška koča 2:00, Celovška koča - Ovčji vrh 1:00.
On the way: Vrata (1714m), Klagenfurter Hutte/Celovška koča (1664m)
