Access to the starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice motorway, take the Ljubelj exit. Continue into the centre of Tržič and follow the road through Dolžanovo gorge to the village Jelendol, where the signs for mountain pasture Kofce, Šija and Pungrat direct you to the left. The road then loses its asphalt surface and starts to climb steeply. Follow this road in the route mountain pasture Pungrat and Šija at the junctions. Park in the parking lot near the shelter at mountain pasture Šija.
Path description:
Slightly north of the shelter, you can see a wooden mountain sign with the inscription "snake trail to the front ridge" (the mountain trail is found slightly to the right of the route indicated by the sign). The trail continues on, crossing a grazing fence and leading out of the forest to a small scree slope. After this scree slope, the path crosses a short lane of spruce forest and then leads us to the avalanche slopes, where the path turns slightly to the left. Next, in a gentle ascent, cross a grassy slope, a lane of dwarf pines and a larger scree slope, after which you come to a lane of scrub (rushes and individual trees). Here the path starts to climb steeply and quickly leads you under rocky cliffs. Cross a narrow passage (watch your head) and the steep path then leads to a place where you join the marked path coming from the house at Kofce.
Continue right up the path, which climbs steeply and quickly leads to an exposed passage. Without fixed safety gear, cross a short, but crumbly and slightly exposed ledge after which you enter lane of dwarf pines. The way ahead climbs over a short lane of dwarf pines and then continues along the side ridge of Košuta. The increasingly scenic and rather steep path joins the ridge path higher up.
Continue left in the route Veliki vrh (right Kladivo, straight up Kofce gora 10 steps) on the path which starts to descend gently along the edge of the ridge. The path crosses the slopes of Košuta to the west and after about 15 minutes of walking joins the normal path to Veliki vrh (descent possible), where you enter a small, unmarked valley. The path then passes out of the valley again onto the southern slopes, where it bypasses the summit of "Toplar (2000m)" on the southern side, and then leads us under the summit slope of Velika peak. The path, which for some time ran along the ridge, here just gives way and continues in a cross-climb on the slopes. Higher up the path turns sharp right and then leads us in a few minutes to a scenic peak.
Starting point - Kofce gora 1:15, Kofce gora - Velika Summit 45 minutes.

Enkratna tura. Svet okoli Košute mi je zares všeč zaradi trave ki obdaja celo pogorje in te gore še polepša. Zares čudovito in lep razgled.

Tudi s Kofc se da lepo priti, lep izlet tudi za družino, če le ni preveč brez kondicije. Na vrhu ni za podcenjevanje, kakor tudi nikjer drugje v gorah. Fenomenalen razgled na vse ostale gore od Kamniških do Julijcev in pogled v Avstrijo naravnost navzdol...

Včeraj šli s kolegico iz makadamske poti, ki jo je na nekaterih mestih precej težko prevoziti, ker so veliki hribčki, na Kofce, Veliki vrh in na Kofce goro. Na poti iz planine Šija do kofce sva prišli pri eni staji nižje od planine Šija. Včeraj so podili iz planin govedo-hja, sredi septembra smo in to je nekaj povsem običajnega. Skratka, pri Domu na Kofcah veliko ljudi, predvsem upokojencev. Ti hodijo nabirat žige zaradi določenih ugodnosti, ki jih dobijo v trgovini s športno opremo, je pa bilo veliko diabetikov. Skratka, vreme nekje do sredine vzpona zares idealno, potem pa so se nad nami vile meglice, pojavil se je tudi mrzel in zmernejši veter. Tako, da na vrhu ni bilo za kratke rokave. Štemplava knjižici in se po hitrem postopku odpravive do Kofce gore. Zaradi meglic ni bilo možnosti za razglede, zato kar hitro do Kofc, ki so bile okrog 13.30 prav nabito polne. Da povzamem, če nebi bilo megle in vetra, bi imeli prav prijetno vreme. Vesela sem, da sem spet izkoristila lepo vreme in odšla v hribe.

Oj. V bistvu sva se nekaj časa vozili po makadamski cesti, pa sva potem parkirali še nižje dol od tistega razpotja, kjer greš lahko desno z avtom proti Šiji, levo pa proti Kofcam. Nekaj minutk sva hodili še do ene majhne kočice na levi strani, če se voziš navzgor, kjer je nasproti nje eno veliko parkirišče. Je pa na nekaterih mestih pot precej razrita, pojavijo se precej visoki hribčki. Če imaš terenca, potem sploh ni problem. Za kakršno koli info mi počlji ZS.
