Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Lesce and follow the road ahead in the direction of Žirovnica and Jesenice. After few kilometers of driving, we will get to a crossroad, where the road in Žirovnica and Moste branches off to the right (from the direction Jesenice left). Only few meters ahead in the next crossroad, we turn left in Moste (right Žirovnica). Further, we drive past a monument to fallen soldiers, where the road starts ascending on a hill below the railway track. On top of the slope, we turn right (at the sign Vila Karin), and then drive towards the lake Završniško jezero and Valvasorjev dom. The road then flattens and it brings us to a crossroad, where the road towards the mountain hut Valvasorjev dom branches off to the left, and we continue straight. Further, the road leads past a well-settled parking lot, and the asphalt road soon becomes a macadam. Macadam road which is on some steep sections asphalt, higher brings us to a smaller crossroad, where we continue right (straight mountain hut Tinčkova koča and Zelenica). After the crossroad, the road crosses the stream Završnica, and then it starts ascending diagonally towards the right. Further, we drive for approximately 600 meters, whereupon we get to the sharp right turn, in the middle of which we cross the stream Globoki potok. At the end of the turn, we park on an appropriate place by the road.
Path description:
From the starting point, we return to the turn, and there by the stream we notice the beginning of the footpath, at first quite rough old cart track. For a short time, we are ascending on the left side of the stream and then we cross it and we pass on the right side. From here we are few minutes ascending on a cart track, and then we again cross a riverbed of the stream. The path ahead is ascending by immediate vicinity of the riverbed, unmarked path, by which we can notice some very old blaze, in few minutes of additional walking brings us to the spot, where it splits into two parts.
Here we can continue straight on quite rough path which still continues by torrent stream, or we continue right on newer cart track. If we continue right, then on first crossing we choose the left cart track, on which we in few minutes ascend to the near forest road. When we step on the road, we follow it to the left, and there in 2 minutes we walk to the mountain hut Tomčeva koča on the mountain pasture Poljška planina.
