Podljubelj (Pod Košuto) - Dom na Kofcah (via lake Jezero pri Čežov)

Access to the starting point:
Leave the Gorenjska motorway at the Podtabor junction and continue on the expressway towards Tržič and Border crossing Ljubelj. After the turn-off for Tržič, follow the main road towards Austria to the turn-off for Podljubelj, and when you leave the main road, turn left at the nearby junction and follow the signs for Dom na Kofcah and Karami. Continue on the ascending asphalt road and follow it to the junction where the roads for Dom na Kofcah and Karami separate. At this junction, the route described above starts and you can park nearby in a suitable place.

Path description:
From the starting point, take the road to the right in the direction of Karami Mountainhouse (straight ahead Matizovec and Dom na Kofcah ), where you pass a few houses at first, then the road turns into a forest and climbs steeply. After leaving the forest, you reach the farm Čižovnik, where you leave the road, which continues towards the aforementioned holiday home, and continue slightly to the left on cart track, which climbs above the farm. A little further on, cart track transitions into lane woodland, then climbs over a meadow with a view and, at a higher level, becomes woodland again. Once in the forest, cart track lays down, or even descends slightly, and at the fork take the right-hand cart track (straight cart track, which bypasses the lake), which descends gently to the lake at Čežov.
From the lake, go back a little, then continue on the ascending cart track, which quickly joins the cart track, which we left before descending to the lake. Then climb the wide cart track or worse road, following the wider path at the crossroads. There are some serpentines, and during the ascent we occasionally get beautiful views, which reach higher up to Triglav. The road is higher and leads past a green ramp to a place where we join the marked trail.
Here, continue left towards Dom na Kofcah (straight ahead the road leading to Jelendol) and follow the wide cart track ascent through the forest. As we leave the forest, the path leading past Matizovec joins us on the left, and we continue straight ahead, reaching Dom na Kofcah with increasingly beautiful views.
Starting point - lake at Čežov 0:45, lake at Čežov - Dom na Kofcah 1:20.
