Mrzli studenec - Toplar

Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Ljubelj. Further, we drive to the center of Tržič and we follow the road through gorge Dolžanova soteska to the village Jelendol, where signs for mountain pasture Kofce, Šija and Pungrat point us to the left. The road then loses an asphalt covering and starts ascending steeply. This road at the crossroads we follow in the direction of the mountain pasture Kofce. When by the road we notice signs for Kofce and chapel we park on a parking lot by the road (to here from Jelendol approximately 4.7 km).
If we miss this starting point we can come to the mountain hut Dom na Kofcah also on two nearby paths, which are well marked (possible also on a bad road).

Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on a footpath in the direction of the mountain hut Dom na Kofcah and chapel. A relatively steep path after approximately 20 minutes of walking, it brings us out of the forest on a clearing by the edge of which we notice a chapel.
Further, we continue on a cart track which ascends over lane of a forest and higher brings us on grassy slopes of the mountain pasture Kofce. From here to the mountain hut on Kofcah we have only few minutes of pleasant walking.
From the mountain hut, we continue in the direction of Veliki vrh and Kladivo on at first a little poorly visible path which starts ascending through a panoramic meadow. After 15 minutes of walking from the mountain hut Dom na Kofcah we get to a nice viewpoint by the cross.
The path then slightly descends and in few minutes brings us to steeper slopes of Košuta. The path then ascends through a lane of dwarf pines, where it brings us to a crossing. We continue straight (right Kladivo and Kofce gora) on the path which is diagonally ascending over increasingly steep slopes. The path which ahead runs on an unvegetated slope soon brings us to a short steep part, where we get help from a steel cable (undemanding). When we walk this part, the path turns slightly towards the left and is at first relatively steeply ascending over a grassy slope. The increasingly panoramic path then brings us into a smaller valley through which we ascend almost to the border ridge, where from the right joins the ridge path. After that, the path from a small valley again passes on the south slopes, where on the south side bypasses the peak »Toplar (2000m)«. At this spot, we leave the marked path which leads on Veliki vrh and we go right on pathless terrain. After three minutes of steep but undemanding ascent on pathless terrain we step on Toplar.
The starting point - Kofce 30 minutes, Kofce - Toplar 1:30.
