Franzbauer - Ferlacher Horn / Grlovec

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 we follow it to the crossroad, where slightly right and downwards road towards the settlement Borovlje / Ferlach branches off. The road which is still descending quickly brings us to the mentioned settlement, where we soon cross the railway track. Only a little after the track we join the other road which we follow to the right, and we are driving there in the direction of the settlement Sele / Zell - Pfarre. Soon after the village Bajdiše / Waidisch we leave the main road and we continue driving right in the direction of Zgornji Kot / Zell - Oberwinkel. Further, we for some time drive by the stream Ribnica / Ribnitza, and then we soon notice first signposts for Grlovec / Ferlacher Horn. We can start already here (this extends the path for approximately 45 minutes), or we can drive a little higher towards the farm Franc / Franzbauer. If we continue, we for some time still drive through the valley, and then we park on an appropriate place about 15 minutes lower from the farm Franc / Franzbauer.

Path description:
From the starting point, we at first walk to the farm Franc, where there is a hamlet of few houses.
By the end of the small hamlet signs for Grlovec / Ferlacher Horn point us to the left on a cart track which past the house with house number 11 takes us to the spot, where the cart track turns to the right, and the marked path continues straight. The path ahead crosses a shorter clearing or meadow, and then passes into the forest through which it gradually starts ascending steeper. Higher, the footpath flattens, and then it brings us to a forest road which we few meters follow to the left, and after few meters we will notice the continuation of the mountain path. We short time continue parallel with the road, and then we diagonally ascend through the clearing. On the other side of the clearing, we step into the forest, and the path brings us to a marked crossing, where we join the path from Dajčpeter / Deutcher Peter.
Here we continue right and we once again cross quite panoramic clearing. Further, the path leads us through the forest and past a memorial it gradually brings us on the western ridge of Grlovec (ridge named Velika gora). We continue the ascent on and by the ridge, from which occasionally a nice view opens up mainly towards the north. Higher the ridge for some time narrows and for a short time it continues by the edge of mighty precipice (precipice is only on one side, so there aren't any bigger problems). Ridge then gradually widens, and the path out of the forest brings us on the upper slope of the mountain. Next follows a short diagonal ascent through a thin lane of conifer forest, after that with increasingly beautiful views we quickly reach the peak, on which stands a bigger cross.
