Tinčkova koča - Begunjščica

Access to the starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice motorway, take the Lesce exit and follow the road towards Žirovnica and Jesenice. After a few km of driving, you will come to a crossroads where the road to Žirovnica and Moste turns right (from Jesenice, left). Just a few metres further, at the next crossroads, turn left into Moste (right into Žirovnica). Continue past the memorial to the fallen fighters, where the road starts to climb uphill under the railway line. At the top of the hill, turn right (at the Vila Karin sign) and we continue towards Završniškem jezero and Valvasor's home. The road then bends and leads to a crossroads where the road to Valvasor's home branches off to the left, and we continue straight ahead on the initially still asphalted road. The road soon becomes macadam, and we follow it to a parking area near Tinček's hut. The road is often in quite bad condition in the upper part.

Path description:
From the parking lot at Tinčková's cottage, continue along the wide stone cart track towards the cottage at the source of the Završnice River. After a few steps, the signs direct us slightly to the right, onto a slightly steeper footpath that climbs over a grassy slope with a view, and then returns to the aforementioned cart track, which we follow to the right. "After a few minutes' further walking, Cart track, which climbs relatively steeply through the wods, leads to a pasture fence, beyond which a marked crossroads is reached.
Continue to the right in the direction of Roblek's home (straight ahead to the cottage at the source of the Završnice River) along the path, which climbs initially gently and then steeply through the forest. The steepness quickly eases and the path turns slightly to the right, where it crosses relatively steep slopes. After a short crossing, the path turns left and starts to climb very steeply up a small, rather steep valley. The very steep and rubbly path (high risk of slipping when descending) briefly dips higher up, then turns to the right, where it climbs in switchbacks over very steep slopes again. Higher up, the steepness eases and the path leads to the side ridge Begunjščica, which is ascended in a few minutes to Roblek's home.
From the house, continue right in the direction Veliki vrh to Begunjščica along the path, which after a few steps goes into the forest. The Lane of the forest, which is short, quickly turns into bushes and higher up into dwarf pines. After a good 20 minutes of ascent from Roblek's house, we reach the next crossroads, where we continue again in the direction of Veliki vrh, which is the highest peak of Begunjščice at 2060m. The way forward is cross-climbing, along the sometimes quite steep southern slopes of Begunjščice. The cross path, which offers beautiful views of Gorenjska, has a larger number of orientation lops in the upper part. Due to the large number of hikers and sheep, the upper part of the trail has a number of paths that can quickly lead you off the right path. To avoid going astray, which can happen quickly in the fog, keep to the left (upper), although very poorly marked, path. The path, which is also dangerous to slip on in the wet, then just leads us to a scenic peak. Starting point - Roblekov dom 1:45, Roblekov dom - Begunjščica 1:30.

On the way: Roblekov dom na Begunjščici mountain hut (1657m)
