Access to starting point:
We drive into Luče (to here from Mozirje or over mountain pass Volovljek (Kranjski Rak)) and forward towards Logarska dolina. Soon behind the village Solčava we come to a crossroad, where the road branches off to the left into a valley Logarska dolina, and we continue straight for approximately 1 km towards the saddle Pavličevo sedlo and then we turn left over a bridge towards Matkov kot. We park on an appropriate place.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on the road towards Matkov kot, we stick to the lower road, where there is a gate. The road leads us by the edge of a meadow, crosses gravel terrain and passes on a meadow. Then it again crosses a wide gravel terrain, we step again on the road which eventually brings us to gravel terrain at the cottage in the center of Matkov kot. Here a view opens up on peaks, which surround Matkov kot.
We cross the gravel terrain in the direction of the hunting cottage. Behind the cottage on the right, we look for wide forest road which is carved into the slope. The road is ascending, occasionally very steep, we walk there and we stick straight. It brings us very high almost to a small saddle. When the road ends (cairn) we go right upwards. There isn't any beaten path, we stick to the ridge. From the ridge rocks project which tells us that we go in the right direction. Higher, we get to a saddle on height 1400 meters, where we turn to the left (direction east). Further terrain becomes rocky and grassy, and the steepness increases. We stick to direction by the ridge, where the path appears and also hunting signs (blue line). The path bypasses the first hill in the ridge on the north side and brings us on the next saddle right below the steepness of Veliki vrh. Here we again start ascending on a steep slope and we are looking for easiest passages. We are soon in front of dense dwarf pines, in which we can see the path. Steepness increases even more, at the ascent, we help ourselves with dwarf pines. When we overcome this steepness we find ourselves by the vertical wall, and on the left, there is a steep grassy ramp diagonally upwards approximately 10 meters. There we ascend (few holds and very exposed) on a secondary peak, which is vegetated with dwarf pines. We descend from it towards the east, and we again get help from dwarf pines. After few minutes of additional ascent, we step on Veliki vrh 1539 meters.
