Access to the starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice motorway, take the Podnart (Ljubelj) exit, then continue on the expressway towards Ljubelj and Tržič. When the expressway ends, you will see a petrol station on the right hand side, before which turn right down towards Tržič. Continue through Tržič, and we follow the narrower road towards Dovžana Gorge and on to the village of Dolina, where we park in the gravel parking lot in front of the bridge over the Tržiška River Bistrica.
Path description:
From the parking lot, cross the bridge first, then walk along the main road to the nearby chapel, where you continue left along the garden and the older dwelling house onto the forest road. Continue up the increasingly narrow and deteriorating macadam road, which leads moderately uphill along the Kališnik stream. The road soon turns into cart track, and starts to climb steeply. Higher up, we reach a water reservoir, above which the ever-narrowing cart track turns left and ends after a few metres, and we continue straight across a larger grassy hayfield, up which we climb to a slightly larger spruce tree, where signs direct us slightly right on to a steeper footpath. Continue on the steep path, which crosses a short lane of forest, and then leads to moderately steep grassy slopes, which, with fine views of Storžič and Stegovnik, ascend to the saddle of Kal, where you also step onto the forest road. From the saddle, which offers a fine view of Begunjščica, continue to the right and in a few steps you will reach the Shelter on Kal.
From the shelter, continue along the macadam road, where you will quickly arrive at a marked crossroads. From the crossroads, continue left up the marked footpath (straight ahead Dom na Kofcah past the chapel), which starts to climb steeply. After a few steps, the path flattens out and leads into lane of bushes, where you cross the view slopes to the right. On the other side, the path returns to the forest and starts to climb steeply along the edge of the cliffs. The path continues past a few small natural caves, before it lays down and leads us into a more plateau-like world. The way ahead crosses a worse forest road while overlooking the western part of Košuta, and then leads to a parking area at the end of the forest road leading to Kofce.
From the parking lot, continue along the wide cart track, which will take you up to mountain pasture Kofce in 15 minutes. From the point where we have reached the lower edge of the mountain pasture, we are only 5 minutes away from the mountain hut, which is an increasingly scenic walk across the pastures of the aforementioned mountain pasture.
From the mountain lodge, continue in the direction of Veliki vrh and Kladiv along the initially slightly less visible path, which begins to climb over the meadow. After a 15-minute walk from the house at Kofce, you reach a beautiful viewpoint at the cross. The path then descends gently and leads us in a few minutes to the steeper slopes of Košuta. The path then climbs over lane of dwarf pines, where it leads to a crossroads. Continue to the right (straight on the big peak) along the path which after a few metres is joined by the unmarked but marked mountain pasture Šija path. Continue left 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 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 straight up the unmarked path, which after 10 steps leads to the summit (Veliki vrh on the left, Kladivo on the right).
Starting point - Zavetišče na Kalu 1:00, Zavetišče na Kalu - Dom na Kofcah 45 minutes, Dom na Kofcah - Kofce gora 1:00.

Do izhodišča pridete skozi Dovžanovo sotesko, ki je že sama po sebi čudovita. Lahko pa pot z avtomobilom nadaljujete naprej, skozi Jelendol in direkt po makadamski cesti (ponavadi zelo slaba) v smeri Kofc, kjer pa imate na izbiro več izhodišč... glede na to, koliko časa želite hoditi. Najlepša pot? Težko bi se odločila, je pa ta do Zavetišča na Kalu zagotovo najbolj strma.  Razgledi pa se tako odprejo na Kofcah.
