Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Ljubelj and follow the road ahead to the border crossing. Only few meters before the border crossing signs for Zelenica point us to the left and after few 10 meters of additional driving the road brings us on a parking lot below the ski center Zelenica.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on a footpath in the direction of Zelenica, Vrtača and Stol. Cart track which runs on the left side of the ski track, after approximately 15 minutes of a moderate ascent through the forest brings us to the before mentioned track by which we are then ascending. The path which offers nice views on extensive scree of Begunjščica on the left and to a ridge of Ljubeljščica on the right then in a gentle ascent brings us to the hut Vrtača.
From the mountain hut, we continue straight on a marked path, which slowly turns slightly to the left and after a shorter diagonal ascent brings us into a lane of dwarf pines. Further, the path is for a short time steeply ascending and then brings us on a cart track (transport road), which we follow in a moderate ascent to the mountain hut Dom na Zelenici. While ski track operates it is forbidden to walk on a ski slope. At that time we use the winter path which runs on a transport road.
From the mountain hut on Zelenica we go on the south side towards the northern wall of Begunjščica. Gully, as the name already tells has distinctive form of letter Y and is situated left from central gully. Gully angle is from 35°-50° and brings us on a ridge left from Veliki vrh of Begunjščica. From the end of the gully to the top we have 5 minutes of walk on the ridge. We descend on Šentanski plaz, or on closer central gully.
On the way: Koča Vrtača mountain hut (1288m), Dom na Zelenici mountain hut (1536m)
