Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Jesenice, we take the Ljubelj exit and follow the road ahead towards the border crossing. When we leave the last tunnel (we recognize it by the fact that after the tunnel on the left side of the road there is scree), in the first sharp left turn we will notice a road house and next to it a macadam road. Here we park on a smaller parking lot or we drive on a bad road further to the next parking lot, which is situated a little higher.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on a bad forest road and follow it ahead. The road higher crosses a torrent, after that slightly ascends and then brings us to the spot where it ends. Ahead we cross the bridge and continue on a cart track which is moderately ascending on a partly overgrown scree. The cart track makes a few sharp turns and brings us from the northern slopes of Košuta to the southern slopes of Košutica.
Further, we are mostly ascending through the forest, which brings us to a larger clearing. Here the cart track goes sharply left and ascends towards the mountain pasture Korošica. A little before the mountain pasture we cross a grazing fence, where a beautiful view opens up. From the meadow we go slightly right below the cottage, which we see above us. The path then turns left and in a few steps of ascent brings us to the cottage on the mountain pasture Korošica.
From the mountain hut, we go right in the direction of Veliki vrh towards Hajnževo sedlo. The path ahead crosses the slopes of Košutica mostly in a gentle ascent through an increasingly thin forest. We follow this path, which becomes increasingly panoramic, to Hajnževo sedlo, where the path from Austria joins.
On the saddle, we go right towards the south in the direction of Veliki vrh (left Košutica). Already after a few meters of additional walking, we enter the climbing part of the path, which is technically demanding, and the path is exposed to falling stones. In wet conditions this part of the path is very dangerous for slipping. When we exit the climbing path, we have only a few minutes of walking to the top on the panoramic upper slope of Veliki vrh.
Starting point - Korošica 1:35, Korošica - Veliki vrh 1:35.
