Ferlach - Ferlacher Horn / Grlovec

Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice, take the exit Ljubelj (Tržič) and then continue in the direction of Klagenfurt / Klagenfurt. After the Ljubelj tunnel, the road starts to descend and we follow it to a junction where the road to Borovlje / Ferlach branches off slightly to the right and downwards. The road continues to descend and quickly leads us to the aforementioned place, where we soon cross the railway line. Just after the railway line, we join another road, which we follow to the right, and we follow it only as far as the nearby Eurospar shop. Just before the shop, turn right towards Šajdnik / Schaidbauer and cross the railway line again just a few metres further on. Continue along the ascending asphalt road, which quickly leads to Šajdnik. You can park further down, at a suitable place behind the railway line.

Path description:
From the railway line, first walk along the asphalt road to the Šajdnik / Schaidbauer farm, then continue straight on the initially slightly overgrown marked footpath. Just a little further on, the path turns from scrub to forest and begins to climb, first moderately and then for a short time quite steeply. The steep climb ends quickly, and we continue on the marked path, which crosses the forest road twice. When we step on the road for the third time, we walk along it for some 10 metres, and then the markings direct us to the right onto another slightly more overgrown path, which leads us through an old clearing where new trees are already growing. Just a little further on, we rejoin the road, which we cross and continue along the ascending cart track, which turns into the lane of the forest and turns into a footpath. Just a little higher up, you reach a large clearing, which you then climb over for some time. Further on, the path leads us through an increasingly scenic coppice, where the path is harder to follow in places and, in the upper part, harder to pass due to some fallen trees that have not been removed. In the upper part of the clearing, the path turns right and lays down. The trail continues through the forest and then crosses to the right for a few minutes, only a few metres above the precipice (there is a high risk of slipping in the snow at this point). A little further on, a small hut can be seen on the right, and the path leads to a ridge, which is reached just south of Borovski vrh / Sechter.
Walk along the ridge for a short distance and then the path crosses some ravines on the eastern slopes. There is a short, slightly exposed slope, after which the path flattens out and gradually leads to the next forest road. Once on the road, follow it to the right, and we walk along it for only a short distance, as signs then direct us to the left side of the road, where it continues for some time without any significant change in elevation. After a short crossing we arrive at a marked crossroads where we join the path from the village of Bajdiše / Waidish.
From the crossroads continue along the marked path towards Grlovec / Ferlacher Horn. The path ahead begins to climb steeply again, gradually moving to the eastern and, higher up, to the south-eastern ridge of Grlovec. Higher up, the forest begins to thin out, and the path gradually leads from the ridge to the southern slopes, gradually leading to a scenic peak.
