Sele pri Cerkvi / Zell - Pfarre - Mejnik

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 Ljubelj tunnel the road starts descending, and we follow it to the crossroad, where slightly right and downwards road towards the settlement Borovlje / Ferlach branches off. The road which is still descending quickly brings us to the mentioned settlement, where we soon cross the railway track. Only a little after the track we join the other road which we follow to the right, and we are driving there in the direction of the settlement Sele / Zell - Pfarre. When we get to the mentioned settlement we park on a parking lot opposite of the church.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we return on the main road towards Borovlje, and then still before the end of the village, we notice signs for mountain hut Koča pod Košuto, which point us to the left on the road which leads to the yard of the nearby houses. Behind the houses, the path passes on a cart track, and it ascends diagonally through a meadow, from which a nice view opens up on Setiče / Freiberg. After few minutes of the ascent, we get to a hamlet with few houses, where we step on at first still asphalt road which leads towards the mountain hut Koča pod Košuto.. For a short time, we walk on an asphalt road, from which a nice view opens up to mountain walls of Košuta, and then the road passes into the forest and loses an asphalt covering. On the macadam road which higher leads past a smaller waterfall, we walk to a marked crossing, where from the right side joins the marked path from the homestead Ridovc / Ridovcsäge.
On the mentioned spot, we leave the road and we continue left into a steep hill, on which a steep footpath leads through the forest. Higher, we return on the road, and there we come out of the forest in Mrzli log.
From here we can continue right on a marked path which continues on the bottom of a small valley, or on a parallel macadam road. Wherever we continue we will after approximately 15 minutes of additional walking come to the mountain hut Koča pod Košuto.
From the mountain hut, we continue left in the forest, where the path quickly brings us to a marked crossing. From the crossing, we continue left (right Ridovc / Ridovcsäge, Malejska planina / Malealm, saddle Pešinca / Pischenzasattel...) in the direction of Cjajnik / Lärchenturm and Košutnikov turn / Koschutnikturm on the path which it is ascending diagonally towards the left. After few minutes, we get to the next crossing, where we continue straight in the direction of Košutnikov turn (right Cjajnik).
Further, the path starts ascending a little more and with occasional views to mountain walls of Košuta brings us to a saddle Mejnik / Mejniksattel, where we leave the marked path.
From the saddle, we continue left on at first an easy to follow a forest footpath, on which we very quickly get to pastures, where in the summer season they graze sheep. From the pasture a nice view opens up on Obir and on a ridge and walls of Košuta behind us. On the other side of the pasture path returns into the forest and past a smaller cross brings us on with a forest covered peak, which we recognize by the concrete boundary marker.
