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.
Right marked path continues towards Kofce, and we continue straight on an unmarked footpath, on which a sign with the caption Tegošče - koča points us to. The path ahead isn't marked with blazes, but it is marked with pink arrows. After a shorter crossing through the forest we get to a larger clearing, where we follow the arrows (here the footpath because of several fallen trees for some time vanishes). When the clearing ends footpath becomes more distinct, and a little further it brings us on a cart track, on which we walk only few steps, and then arrows point us to the right on a poorly beaten, but easy to follow footpath. A little further, we get to the other cart track and then we cross another one. The path returns into the forest and with the help of a smaller ladder crosses a wire fence. Further path returns on a cart track and for some time continues through the forest. Later forest gets thinner and the path brings us on the mountain pasture Tegoška planina.
