Access to starting point:
We drive to Tržič, after that from the road Predilniška cesta we turn left in the direction of Podljubelj. Further, we drive through old town center, and at the crossroads, we still follow the signs for Podljubelj. The path ahead leads us on the road Koroška cesta, where on the right we soon notice gardens, and behind them mountain signpost for Kofce past Završnik. At the mentioned sign there is the beginning of the described path, and because by the starting point, there aren't any parking spots, we have to park higher by the road, or already in the center of Tržič.
Path description:
From the asphalt road signs for Kofce point us on a cart track which starts moderately ascending. Cart track at first crosses slopes towards the left and then passes into a small indistinct valley, where from the cart track slightly to the left a marked path branches off (if we continue on a cart track we get to climbing area). We continue on a marked path, and after a minute or two we return on a cart track, and we follow it to the left. Further, we walk on a new cart track, from which we soon go left, and because of the rough terrain it is harder to notice the turn off.
The path ahead leads us on a gently sloping mountain path, which crosses slopes towards the left. A little further from the left another path joins, and only few 10 strides ahead we get to a smaller ridge, where we leave the marked path towards Kal and Kofce and we continue right steeply upwards.
The path ahead leads us on a worse footpath which is mostly relatively easy to follow. At first, we are ascending steeply through the forest, after the path for some time flattens, the path leads us through a thinner forest. During the ascent, through in the summer time high grass, occasionally a view opens up a little. A little higher, the forest ends, and the path flattens, and few steps ahead we get to a bench and an inscription box. From the inscription box follows only few steps of ascent to the top, on which there is situated a Slovenian flag.
