Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Tržič (Ljubelj), and then we continue driving on the highway towards Tržič. Here just before the gas station, we turn right and we descend in the center of Tržič. We continue driving on a little narrower road which through gorge Dolžanova sotestka brings us to the village Dolina and a little higher to Jelendol. Here we continue left (straight on the bottom road Medvodje) and we continue driving on at first still asphalt road in the direction of the mountain pastures Kofce, Šija and Pungrat. The road then soon becomes a macadam and starts ascending steeply on an occasionally quite rough road. Higher, the road avoids riverbed of the stream Dolžanka and gradually brings us in a little less dense forest. Ahead the road has few more crossroads, and we follow the signs for Tegoška planina. We park on a smaller parking lot about 100 meters before the shepherd hut on the mountain pasture Tegoška planina.
Path description:
From the parking lot by a smaller torrent ditch we ascend to the edge of the forest, where we step on a marked path which leads from the mountain pasture Kofce towards the mountain pasture Dolga njiva.
Here we have two options to continue, and both run on pathless terrain.
We can choose route, which continues through torrent ditch, where we ascend through ditch straight upwards, and in doing so, we few times cross a lane of dwarf pines. When after approximately 20 minutes of ascent we step above a lane of a forest, in front of us wide unvegetated slopes of Tegoška gora open up.
To here we can also come, if at the beginning, when we step on a marked path, we follow it to the right and then, when on the left opens a passage through dwarf pines we leave it. On easier pathless terrain we ascend above the lane of dwarf pines and then we continue a little towards the left.
Above the treeline, or a lane of dwarf pines, the slope starts rising steeper, and we all the time stick slightly towards the left, where the slopes are a little less steep and at first also covered with individual lanes of dwarf pines. Higher, we are ascending on even a little steeper slope, where there is mainly in wet, on some spots also a danger of slipping on a grassy slope. Higher, the slope again flattens a little, and with increasingly beautiful views we ascend on the main ridge of Košuta, where we reach the marked ridge path.
When we reach the mentioned path we follow it to the left (right Tegoška gora), and it starts ascending steeply on the border ridge. This path, which on some spots is also exposed, we follow all the way to panoramic grassy peak of Pungartska gora.
