Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Tržič (Ljubelj), and then we continue driving on the highway towards Tržič. Here just before the gas station, we turn right and we descend in the center of Tržič. We continue driving on a little narrower road which through gorge Dolžanova sotestka brings us to the village Dolina and a little higher to Jelendol. Here we continue left (straight on the bottom road Medvodje) and we continue driving on at first still asphalt road in the direction of the mountain pastures Kofce, Šija and Pungrat. The road then soon becomes a macadam and starts ascending steeply on an occasionally quite rough road. Higher, the road avoids riverbed of the stream Dolžanka and gradually brings us in a little less dense forest. Here we will approximately 50 meters before the smaller wooden cottage, which we see on the left side, notice the beginning of the mountain path which leads towards Kofce. We park on one of the many appropriate parking spaces by the road.
Path description:
At the starting point, we notice a red mountain signpost with the caption "Kofce čez Dovžanko", which points us left on a marked footpath which ascends through a lane of a dense forest. Already after a shorter ascent, we step on a cart track which we still follow through the forest to the left. Cart track soon entirely flattens, and then crosses some successive springs. Next follows a short descent, and then through a smaller wooden bridge we cross the stream Dolžanka, after which we already step on the eponymous mountain pasture.
