Bučan - Ferlacher Horn / Grlovec (over saddle Oselca)

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 on the Austrian side we follow it to the first left turn, where old Ljubelj road branches off to the right. We park on an appropriate place by the crossroad, or we can also park higher on the Austrian side of the former border crossing Ljubelj.

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on the macadam road, by which we notice a sign, that for public traffic driving is forbidden. Next follow two successive zig-zags, and then we are for some time ascending diagonally towards the right. Higher follows another left zig zag, and on the road which leads towards Koča na Ljubelju we continue to the next right zig zag, where we continue on a little worse left road, on which there is a gate. The road on which we continue is for few 10 strides ascending, and then starts gradually descending. After the crossing of a torrent stream we stop descending, and the road only a little further brings us to the next crossroad, where we continue sharply right.
Above the crossroad, the road turns sharply left and then it is ascending with nice views on Palec and Rjavca. Higher, the road turns a little to the right and brings us on a small saddle, where from the right side joins described path Ljubelj - Žerjavov Praprotnik.
We still continue on the road and we are descending there diagonally towards the left. Nearby hunting cottage we bypass on the left side, and then we cross also a torrent. Next follows quite some walking on the road which then gradually starts ascending, and from there several times nice views open up on surrounding mountains. Higher, at an altitude of approximately 1300 meters, a road branches off to the right, which leads to a saddle north from Rjava peč, and we continue straight on a wider road. The road on which we continue soon once again splits, and we once again continue on the left bottom road (slightly right saddle Strgavica 1350 meters and option of the ascent on Žerjavov Praprotnik).
From the crossroad ahead, the road starts considerably descending, and in doing so it crosses the south to southwest slopes of Žerjavov Praprotnik. When we get closer to Ljubelj road which we notice below us, substantial descent ends, and the road passes on more western to the northwest slopes of an already mentioned summit. Even a little further, the road once again splits, and we continue on the upper right road, on which we are for some time ascending, and then the road gradually flattens. The road, from which already from the very beginning several times beautiful views opening up, then brings us to another crossroad, where we continue on the most left road which descends a little and leads us past a gate. A little further from the gate at first from the right joins one forest road, and few steps ahead the road splits.
We once again choose the left road which only few steps further joins the marked path from the homestead Franc / Franzbauer, where on the right, on a saddle Oselca we notice a chapel and next to it a bench for resting.
We continue on the path 638, which continues on the road (path 639 only crosses the road and leads towards the homestead Urh / Urch). The road further is ascending diagonally on slopes of Koški Grintovec / Zeller Grintoutz (1368 meters), and at the right turn from the left joins also a marked path from Dajčpeter / Ghf. Deutscher Peter.
At the mentioned crossing, we for the first time notice signs for Grlovec / Ferlacher Horn, and short time we still walk on the road, after that at smaller torrent we continue slightly left on a footpath which continues by the torrent. Higher, the path flattens and past the hunting observatory, which is a little right from the path, brings us back to the forest road which we reach at the smaller crossroad. We cross the road slightly towards the right, and then we few minutes continue parallel with the road which is above us. When we return on the road, we continue there to an old clearing, where there are already growing new spruces, and from there on a marked path which continues parallel with the road which is this time below us. When we get into a lane of a forest, from the right joins also the path from the homestead Franc, and then we cross one more clearing, from which a nice view opens up towards the northern walls of Košuta. On the other side of the clearing, the path passes into the forest and then it gradually starts ascending steeply on the western ridge of Velika gora. From the ridge further several times a nice view opens up towards the north, where we see Borovlje / Ferlach and surrounding mountains. The path continues on the ridge of Velika gora, where it few times steeply ascends, and occasionally entirely flattens. The path which occasionally runs also above precipices (path mainly isn't exposed, because it runs few steps right from the precipice), then brings us on the upper slope of Grlovec, where we also step out of the forest. When we step out of the forest, in front of us we already notice a big cross, to which we have only few minutes of a moderate ascent with nice views.
