Concentration camp - Hajnžev Praprotnik / Zeller Prapotnik

Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice, at the junction Podtabor we continue in the direction of Ljubelj and Tržič. We continue driving on a regional road in the direction of Ljubelj. At the last left turn on the Slovenian side, which is located approximately 500 meters after concentration camp, we turn right on a macadam road which we follow a little less than 100 meters to a little larger macadam parking lot.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on a worse macadam road which already after few minutes ends by the nearby torrent. Here signs for mountain pasture Korošica point us to the right on a well maintained old border guard or hunting path. We continue the ascent in numerous zig-zags on a footpath which is relatively steeply ascending through the forest. Higher, we get to a viewpoint, and the path there turns to the left and it is then for some time moderately to steeply ascending. Higher, we step on a cart track, and we follow it only few 10 meters and then at the smaller crossing, we leave it and we continue straight. The path immediately returns into the forest, and we are then ascending on a pleasant forest footpath which a little further brings us to a smaller crossing, where worse beaten footpath branches off to the left, and we continue sharply right. The path then flattens and out of the forest it brings us on grazing slopes. The path ahead continues by crossing the slopes towards the right and a little further brings us to a marked crossing.
We continue sharply left (right - mountain pasture Korošica 5 minutes) in the direction of Koča na Ljubelju and Košutica. The path ahead short time crosses slopes towards the left and then it moderately ascends and in few minutes of additional walking brings us on the border ridge, where from the left joins the path from the mountain hut Koča na Ljubelju.
We continue right and after few minutes of additional walking, we get to a marked crossing, where we continue left over the fence following the signs Hainschgraben / Hajnžev graben.
From the crossing, the path at first descends a little and then turns right and crosses slopes of Košutica towards the left. At first, we are descending a little and then the path after an interesting cliff starts ascending diagonally. After few minutes of a diagonal ascent, with nice views on surrounding mountains, we quickly reach the saddle Dovjakovo sedlo, where we once again cross a grazing fence.
At the grazing fence the path branches off to the left on Lokovnikov Grintovec, and slightly left we look for the further marked path, which diagonally descends on the other side of Lokovnikov Grintovec. After few minutes of diagonal descent, the path brings us on an indistinct ridge, on which we continue a descent to an indistinct saddle between Lokovnikov Grintovec and Hajnžev Praprotnik.
On the mentioned saddle an indistinct marked path turns right downwards towards Hajnžev graben, and we continue left over a grazing fence, and then we lightly descending towards the northeast. On this part the footpath entirely vanishes, and we continue on gentle terrain to the cairn, after which on the slope a worse footpath appears (if we continue here left downwards we get to Lokovnikova planina, and if we stick to the right, by the ridge, we get interrupted by dwarf pines).
Further it is very good to stick to a poorly footpath, because through steep part it leads without any bigger problems. Above the steep slopes, the path passes among dwarf pines, and occasionally it is still steeply ascending. Higher, we reach the ridge of Hajnžev Praprotnik, and the path for some time continues through occasionally quite overgrown dwarf pines. Despite occasional greater overgrowth, the footpath through dwarf pines is quite easy to follow.
On the ridge, the path flattens, and to the main peak separates us few more shorter ascents and descents. Before the ascent to the summit, the dwarf pines end, and we at first steeply ascend on the ridge, on which then in few 10 strides we reach the panoramic peak.
The starting point - Dovjakovo sedlo 2:20, Dovjakovo sedlo - Hajnžev Praprotnik 55 minutes.
