Access to the starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice motorway, take the Ljubelj exit and follow the road to the border crossing. Just a few metres before the border crossing, the signs for Zelenica direct us to the left and after a few 10 metres of further driving, the road leads to a parking lot under the Zelenica ski centre.
Path description:
At the end of the large macadam parking lot we will see a wooden mountain sign with the inscription mountain pasture Preval, which directs us into the forest on a footpath that quickly leads us to the foot of the scree. Here you will come to a small crossroads where you will see the inscription Prevala on the rock and Roblek's house on the left. The gently sloping path then quickly moves from the scree to the dense forest, which is exposed to falling rocks. The wide path then passes out of the forest onto steep and well protected slopes. The scenic route then leads to the Borna Tunnel, where a torch will be helpful. When passing through the tunnel, be careful of the large number of puddles and the occasionally low ceiling. On the other side of the tunnel, follow the path along the eastern face of Begunjščica for a while, then turn onto a scree slope, which you can only cross. There is a short scramble up a steep woded slope, and then the path begins to climb gently up a less steep slope. The wide path continues, climbing only moderately, and higher up it joins the marked path from Podljubelj.
Here continue right and follow the wide path to mountain pasture Preval, which is reached after a few minutes of further walking.
From the cross at Preval, continue northwards on the marked footpath in the route Begunjščica over Kalvarija (Roblekov dom over Rožo on the left, Ljubelj and Podljubelj on the right). The path ahead initially climbs over a grassy slope with a view and then passes into a forest through which it begins to climb steeply. Higher up, the forest begins to thin out and the path becomes slightly steeper. A fairly steep climb follows, initially through a few dwarf pines lanes, but higher up over steep grassy slopes, which are particularly dangerous for slipping in wet conditions. The path then climbs up a steep grassy slope for a few minutes. When the slope is a little higher, the marked path turns left and crosses the slopes to the left. Just a few minutes further on, we arrive in a small valley where the slope is further flattened.
Here the marked path leading to Veliki vrh crosses the valley, and we continue up the valley, initially following a fainter track. A little higher up, we turn slightly to the right, and then, in 10 minutes of further walking on easier pathless ground, we climb to the top of Begunjska Vrtača. Ljubelj - Preval 1:30, Preval - Begunjska vrtača 1:35.

tokrat malo drugače, bolj plezalsko v steni BG-ja. Po šiht sva z Borutom zlezla eno podrtijo od podrtije, blo je pa fajn pa napeto. Edini možen sestop, ki sva ga nato izvedla se je končal s 40m skokom na koncu gamsjih bobkov... Neizmerno uživala Juš in Borut. Prešč je ostal tokrat v avtu...
