Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Ljubelj. From this road before the gas station, we turn right in Tržič. The road then quickly brings us in Tržič, and we follow it further in the direction of village Jelendol and Medvodje. In the village Medvodje we turn left towards Košuta (direction Dolga njiva and Košutnikov turn) on the forest road which we follow to a crossroad at Košutnik (1082 meters). Here we go right and on occasionally bad road we drive to the parking lot at a smaller quarry.
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 go right in the direction of the path Košutnikov turn eastern approach. A gently sloping path after few ten strides of walking, it brings us to shepherd cottages on the mountain pasture Spodnja Dolga njiva.
Further, we continue on the mountain pasture upwards in the middle of which runs a wide cart track which after good 15 minutes of walking, it brings us out of the forest on the mountain pasture Zgornja Dolga njiva.
The marked path on Košutnikov turn then turns left, and we continue slightly right towards the border ridge. A little higher on an appropriate place we cross a grazing fence and we are then ascending on occasionally a little poorly visible footpath which runs by the border line (footpath which leads on Plešivec starts at the border stone number 13). This path, which is in larger part surrounded by dwarf pines we then follow to the peak.
During the ascent on Plešivec we have to be careful also because of snakes, because there is a lot of them.
The starting point - Zgornja Dolga njiva 45 minutes, Zgornja Dolga njiva - Plešivec 35 minutes.
