Access to starting point:
We drive to a border crossing Ljubelj and ahead on the Austrian side. Soon after that, when on the left side of the road, we notice a smaller church road towards the village Žabnica / Bodental branches off to the left. At the crossroad for village Slovenji Plajberk / Windisch Bleiberg we turn left towards Žabnica / Bodental. In Žabnica / Bodental we come to mountain signposts for Celovška koča / Klagenfurter Hütte left and right. We go left and drive on the road to the end of the asphalt, where on a parking lot near the grazing fences we park.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on for the traffic closed forest road with signs »Marchenwiese«. Walking forest road through the forest in a gentle ascent brings us to a pleasant meadow, where a beautiful view opens up towards the northern walls of Vrtača and Palec. Further, we cross a meadow on which the footpath is hard to follow and on the other side, we look for a cart track which goes slightly upwards into the forest. After few minutes walk on a cart track blazes point us to the right on a footpath which soon crosses a torrent by which it then ascends. The path then withdraw from the torrent a little to the right and brings us on a smaller clearing, where the marked path point us even a little more to the right. The path ahead ascends steeper and after good 30 minutes of walking, it brings us to a crossing, where we continue right (left Celovška koča). The path ahead is slightly ascending and past a well in few minutes of walking, it brings us on the mountain pasture Vgrizeva planina, where there are newer and older cottage and from where a beautiful view opens up.
Newer and older cottage we bypass on the right side, and then we leave the marked path and we continue slightly left on an unmarked path which starts ascending on a grassy slope. Higher, we reach the ridge and in few minutes of additional walking, we reach the peak of Kosmatica.
