Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Podnart (Ljubelj), and then we continue driving on the road towards Ljubelj and Tržič. When "fast road" ends (blue sign), we will on the right side notice gas station, in front of which we turn right downwards towards Tržič. Further, we drive through Tržič, and we follow the narrower road towards the gorge Dovžanova soteska and then through the village Dolina and Jelendol to a hamlet Medvodje. Here at the first crossroad, we continue left in the direction of Košutnik, Dolga njiva, Košutnikov turn, Šija, Kofce and Veliki vrh. Further, we drive on an ascending macadam road, on which we get to a crossroad at Košutnik (house nearby). From the crossroad at an altitude 1080 meters we continue right, and on a little worse macadam road drive to the parking lot at some sort of quarry or slide.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on a cart track which branches off left from the road. Cart track goes into the forest and is moderately ascending, and in doing so at first crosses smaller and then bigger stream. Cart track, which has some shortcuts makes some turns and after good 15 minutes brings us on the mountain pasture Spodnja Dolga njiva.
After a short walk on the mountain pasture path brings us to a crossing, where there are signposts.
We continue left in the direction of Košutnikov turn and Kofce (straight mountain dairy on the mountain pasture Spodnja Dolga njiva 1 minute) on the path which ascends diagonally in the forest. When we step into the forest at first we cross a grazing fence, and then in few minutes we get to the next crossing.
This time we continue straight (sharply right Košutnikov turn) and we continue on a footpath which towards the left crosses occasionally steeper slopes of Košuta. Further, the path leads us over some panoramic slopes and continues with some shorter ascents and descents. When the path after a time for some time passes into a dense forest it splits into two parts.
We continue on the right marked path in the direction of Kofce (straight Tegošče - cottage), which for some time steeply ascends, and then it brings us on a cart track, and it passes on a larger clearing. We continue over clearing and follow the signs for Kofce. On the other side of the clearing, we cross narrow lane of a forest and then we get to the panoramic ridge north from the nearby Kisovec (1563 meters). Here we at first continue right, after that slightly left on the west side of the ridge. Next follows crossing through the forest and then the path turns to the right and past a trough with water brings us on northeastern edge of the mountain pasture Tegoška planina.
Panoramic path mountain pasture bypasses on the upper right edge, and then it brings us to a grazing fence, which we cross and on the other side of it we step on the edge of neighbouring mountain pasture Pungratska planina.
Here unmarked border guard path branches off to the right, which leads towards the mountain pasture Šija, and we continue straight or slightly left on a marked path which continues over an ample pastures. Next follows few minutes of light descent and the path past mogul meadows brings us to shepherd cottages on the mountain pasture Pungrat.
From the mountain pasture Pungrat we continue on a marked path in the direction of the mountain hut Dom na Kofcah and mountain pasture Šija (right Škrbina), and at first, it crosses smaller mogul meadow, and then passes on an ascending macadam road. The road on which we continue the ascent is at first ascending gently, and then turns a little to the left and it ascends diagonally towards the side ridge of Košuta. When we reach the indistinct ridge a nice view opens up towards Storžič and surrounding mountains, and then the road turns to the right and gradually entirely flattens. Next follows few minutes of easy walking and the path brings us to the cottage Zavetišče na planini Šija.
From the cottage, we continue on a marked path towards Kofce, and it quickly descends to the nearby cart track which we follow to the right. Cart track soon starts descending and in few minutes brings us to the mountain pasture Ilovica.
On the other side of the mountain pasture, the path passes into very narrow lane of a forest, after which we step on a clearing. In the middle of clearing we get to a marked crossing, where in the direction of straight the path continues towards the nearby chapel, and we continue slightly right on usually quite soaked footpath, on which we diagonally ascend to mountain dairy on Kofce and then to few meters distant mountain hut.
