Access to the starting point:
a) First drive to Kranjska Gora, then continue driving towards Rateče. At Podkoren, turn right towards the Korensko sedlo Pass, which is reached after a few kilometres of ascent. Park at a suitable place on the Slovenian or Austrian side of the border crossing.
b) Via Border crossing Predel, drive into Itali, then continue to Trbiž / Tarvisio and on to Rateci. At Rateče go straight on, then at Podkoren turn left towards Austria. In a few kilometres, we climb up to the Korensko sedlo pass, where we park on the Slovenian or Austrian side of the border crossing.
Path description:
On the Austrian side of the border crossing, you will see yellow mountain signs directing you to route 603 in the direction of Tromeje (Peč) / Dreiländereck. The trail first leads to the fence of a nearby byte, then turns left and enters the forest. Climb steeply through the forest, then descend a short distance to a small stream, which is crossed, and then climb to the nearby cart track, which is followed to the left. Cart track quickly turns into a fairly steep mountain trail, from which we get some transient views towards Austria and the nearby Jerebikovec. A little higher, you reach a worse forest road, follow it to the left and after a few steps you reach its end, from where you continue right up the mountain path. Then climb up through the occasionally more sparse forest, from where we get some views also towards Julian Alps, and a little higher we reach the next dirt road. Follow the road to the left, walk along the fine views to Julian Alps, and at the nearby crossroads take the upper right road. Above the crossroads the road quickly levels out and then continues without any major changes in elevation. After a few minutes, the signs for route 603 direct you to the left, onto a footpath which leads you through lane woodland to a grazing fence, beyond which you enter the Owl's mountain pasture / Seltschaher Alm. At mountain pasture the path widens to cart track, and we leave the marked path 603 at this point and continue climbing left up a barely traceable path, or rather a trackless path, which ascends along the edge of the forest to the top station of the ski-lift, and from there in a few 10 steps to the nearby summit.

Prvi del poti skozi gozd do ceste je zelo lep, česar slike ne prikažejo najbolje. Ta del poti je bil suh tudi v sicer zimskih razmerah.

Prvi del poti skozi gozd do ceste je zelo lep, česar slike od 8 do 11 ne prikažejo najbolje. Ta del poti je bil suh tudi v sicer zimskih razmerah. Pri povratku lahko v zgornji tretjini smučišča zavijemo desno v gozd, kjer takoj opazimo gozdno cesto. Ta nas po drugi, krajši poti pripelje nazaj na glavno cesto, po kateri smo se vzpenjali.
