Tinčkova koča - Begunjščica

Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Lesce and follow the road ahead in the direction of Žirovnica and Jesenice. After few km of driving, we will get to a crossroad, where the road in Žirovnica and Moste branches off to the right (from the direction of Jesenice left). Only few meters ahead in the next crossroad, we turn left in Moste (right Žirovnica). Further, we drive past a monument to fallen soldiers, where the road starts ascending on a hill below the railway track. On top of the slope, we turn right (at the sign Vila Karin), and then drive towards the lake Završniško jezero and Valvasorjev dom. The road then flattens and it brings us to a crossroad, where the road towards the mountain hut Valvasorjev dom branches off to the left, and we continue straight on at first still asphalt road. The road soon becomes a macadam, and we follow it to a parking lot near the mountain hut Tinčkova koča. The road in the upper part is often in quite bad condition.

Path description:
From the parking lot at the mountain hut Tinčkova koča we continue on a wide rocky cart track in the direction of the mountain hut Koča pri izviru Završnice. Already after few steps of walking blazes point us slightly right, on a little steeper footpath which ascends on a panoramic grassy slope, and then it returns on the before mentioned cart track which we follow to the right. Cart track, which is relatively steeply ascending through the forest, after few minutes of additional walking brings us to a grazing fence, behind which we come at the marked crossing.
We continue right in the direction of the mountain hut Roblekov dom (straight mountain hut Koča pri izviru Završnice) on the path which is further at first gently, and then steeper and steeper ascending through the forest. The steepness quickly decreases and the path turns a little to the right, where it crosses relatively steep slopes. After a shorter crossing, the path turns to the left and starts ascending very steep on a smaller quite steep valley. Very steep and gravel path (on the descent great risk of slipping) higher for a short time flattens, and then turns to the right, where in zig-zags ascends over again very steep slopes. Higher, the steepness decreases and the path brings us on a side ridge of Begunjščica, on which in few minutes of additional walking, we ascend to the mountain hut Roblekov dom.
From the hut, we continue right in the direction of Veliki vrh on Begunjščica on the path which already after few steps goes into the forest. Lane of forest, which is short quickly changes into bushes and higher into dwarf pines. After a good 20 minutes of ascent from the mountain hut Roblekov dom we come to the next crossing, where we again continue in the direction of Veliki vrh, which is with 2060m the highest peak of Begunjščica. The path ahead is ascending diagonally, on in parts quite steep southern slopes of Begunjščica. The transverse path, which offers nice views on Gorenjska has in the upper part a larger number of orientational problems. Because of large number of hikers and sheeps in the upper part there are numerous footpaths, which can quickly lead away from the right path. To not go astray, which in fog can quickly happen, we stick to the left (upper) otherwise very poorly marked path. The path which is in wet also dangerous for slipping, then finally brings us on a panoramic peak.
The starting point - Roblekov dom 1:45, Roblekov dom - Begunjščica 1:30.
