Tinčkova koča - Hochstuhl/Stol (via Zagon)

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice highway, we take the Lesce exit and follow the road ahead in the direction of Žirovnica and Jesenice. After a few km of driving, we will arrive at an intersection, where the road to Žirovnica and Moste branches off to the right (from the direction of Jesenice, to the left). Only a few meters ahead, at the next intersection, we turn left to Moste (right to Žirovnica). We continue driving past a monument to the fallen fighters, where the road starts to climb the hill under the railway track. At the top of the hill, we turn right (at the sign for Vila Karin) and continue towards Završniško jezero and Valvasorjev dom. The road then flattens and brings us to an intersection, where the road to the mountain hut Valvasorjev dom branches off to the left, and we continue straight on the initially still asphalted road. The road soon becomes macadam, and we follow it to the parking lot near the mountain hut Tinčkova koča. The road in the upper part is often in quite bad condition.

Path description:
At the beginning of the parking lot, we head left onto a wide path into the forest. Already after a few meters we come to a fork, where the marked path to the mountain hut Valvasorjev dom pod Stolom branches off to the left. At the fork, we continue right uphill past some huts in the forest. The path then turns slightly to the left and ascends through the forest for quite some time. The path, which is occasionally marked with red dots and some cairns, becomes less trodden in the upper part and requires more attention so as not to stray from it. Later, the path brings us out of the forest, and an ascent follows along a narrow trail through high grass and slightly overgrown dwarf pines. This path brings us to a fork, where we join the marked path from the mountain hut Koča pri izviru Završnice towards Stol.

We continue left and the path, surrounded by lush shrubbery, soon brings us into a high-mountain cirque, where the path from the mountain hut Dom na Zelenici joins from the right. We continue left in the direction of Stol along a path that ascends steeply for a short time, then brings us into the plateau terrain between Svačica and Srednja peč.

We continue straight in the direction of Stol (right Svačica and Celovška koča) along the path, which in a gentle ascent brings us to a larger scree below Celovška špica (2105m). The path then ascends over relatively steep scree and brings us to an indistinct saddle between Mali Stol and Veliki Stol. Here we continue right (left Prešernova koča 10 minutes) in the direction of Stol, whose summit we reach after 10 minutes of further walking.
