Polja - Dreiländereck Hütte (via Kališje)

Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Kranjska Gora, then we continue driving towards Rateče. In Podkoren we turn right in the direction of the Korensko sedlo pass. Above Podkoren the road turns sharply left, then for some time crosses the slopes towards the left. About 50 meters before the 1 km road sign, a forest road branches off to the left, onto which we turn and park in an appropriate place beside the road.
B) Via the Predel border crossing we drive to Italy, then we continue driving towards Trbiž / Tarvisio and then to Rateče. In Rateče we continue straight, then in Podkoren we turn left towards Austria. Above Podkoren the road turns sharply left, then for some time crosses the slopes towards the left. About 50 meters before the 1 km road sign, a forest road branches off to the left, onto which we turn and park in an appropriate place beside the road.

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on the forest road which semicircularly turns to the left and temporarily leads us beside the pasture. The road, which after the turn starts gently to moderately ascending, soon crosses the Kališnik stream, then slowly turns more and more to the right. Higher, we arrive at the panoramic section from which a nice view opens towards Kranjska Gora and part of the Julian Alps. Next follows crossing a pasture fence, immediately after the mentioned crossing we continue right on the partly overgrown cart track which ascends transversely above the road. For a few minutes we ascend the overgrown cart track, then the cart track enters dense forest, where it is easier to pass. Higher, in the part where the cart track is lost in the grass, we continue right and in a few steps join the path which leads from Rateče.
Further, we ascend in the area named Lomiči, where on several grassy spots we notice old, mostly already quite worn-out hayracks. During the ascent on the mentioned part, on looking back several times a nice view opens on the Julian Alps, and we higher reach the macadam road, which we follow to the left (the right branch of the road soon ends). On the road we ascend for a few minutes, then arrive at a junction, where we continue left (slightly right Petelinjek, sharply right Kališje).
Further, we walk on the road which continues with some shorter ascents and descents and runs on the western slopes of the Petelinjek ridge. When the crossing under the mentioned ridge ends, at the information board of the Tromeja tourist path, we join a somewhat wider road which comes from Rateče. On the road we continue slightly right, then a little further we leave the mentioned road and continue right, on the path which brings us to the Austrian side of the state border.
On the Austrian side we reach the nearby ski slope, and we continue right to the nearby hut Dreiländereck Hütte.
