Tinčkova koča - Srednji vrh (above Završnica) (via Smokuška planina)

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 straight (slightly right Roblekov dom) on still rocky cart track which higher out of the forest brings us on ample grassy slopes of Smokuška planina. Here the steepness decreases and the path with increasingly beautiful view in 15 minutes of additional walking brings us to the hut Koča pri izviru Završnice.
From the mountain hut, we continue left on a marked footpath in the direction of Stol. The path already after few minutes leaves the cart track and passes into a smaller valley between Srednji vrh on the left and Vrtača on the right. A moderately steep path which runs through a thin forest, higher for a short time steeply ascends and after few minutes of additional walking brings us on a saddle Šija, where there is a marked crossing.
We continue left (straight - Stol lower path, right - Vrtača and Stol upper path) on an unmarked path which starts steeply ascending on and by the ridge. And the path which runs among a lane of dense dwarf pines, after 20 minutes of walking from the saddle Šija brings us on Srednji vrh.
The starting point - Koča pri izviru Završnice 1:00, Koča pri izviru Završnice - Srednji vrh 1:00.
