Access to the starting point:
We drive to the Ljubelj border crossing and on to the Austrian side. Shortly after, when you see a small church on the left side of the road, the road to the village of Žabnica / Bodental branches off to the left. At the crossroads after Slovenji Plajberk / Windisch Bleiberg turn left towards Žabnica / Bodental. In Žabnica / Bodental you will reach the mountain signs for Celovška koča / Klagenfurter Hütte to the left and right. Turn left and follow the road to the end of the asphalt, where you will park in the parking lot near the pasture fences.
Path description:
From the parking lot, take the forest road closed to traffic and marked "Marchenwiese". The forest road leads you through the forest on a slight incline to a pleasant meadow, where you will have a nice view of the northern walls of Vertatscha and Palec. Continue across the meadow where the path is more difficult to follow and on the other side look for cart track which goes slightly upwards into the forest. After walking for a few minutes along cart track, the signs direct us to the right onto a footpath which soon crosses a torrent along which it then climbs. The path then follows the torrent slightly to the right and leads us to a small clearing where the waymarked path directs us slightly further to the right. The way forward climbs steeper and after a good 30 minutes walk leads us to a crossroads, where we continue to the right (left Celovška koča). The way forward climbs slightly and passes us by the well in a few minutes walk leads to Ogrisalm, where stand the newer and older cottage and from where we open a beautiful view.
The newer and older hut is bypassed on the right hand side, then leave the marked path and continue slightly left on the unmarked path, which begins to climb up the grassy slope. Reach the ridge higher up and within a few minutes of further walking you will reach the top of Kosmatice.
Podnar - Ogrisalm 1:30, Ogrisalm - Kosmatica 0:15.
