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:
From the parking lot, follow the footpath towards Zelenica, Vertatscha and Stol. The dirt track, which runs along the left-hand side of the ski slope, leads us after about 15 minutes of moderate ascent through the forest to the aforementioned slope along which we then climb. The path, which offers beautiful views of the extensive scree Begunjščica on the left and the ridge Ljubeljščica on the right, then leads us in a gentle ascent to the hut at Vrtača. From the hut, continue straight along the marked path, which slowly turns slightly to the left and, after a short cross-climb, leads us to lane of dwarf pines. The path then climbs more steeply for a short time and then leads to cart track (the transport-rescue road), which is then followed in a moderate ascent to the mountain home at Zelenica.
From the hut on Zelenica, continue right towards Stol and Vertatscha (left Begunjščica) along the path which turns left immediately after the home and climbs by the children's ski lift. Somewhere halfway up the lift you reach a less obvious crossroads, where you continue right and cross the ski slope (straight ahead to the hut at the source of the Završnice River). Next, cross a short lane of forest and the path leads to the next lift which you cross in a slight downhill. On the other side of the ski slope you will see a larger rock with a marker on it, and just a few steps to the right of this marker you will see the start of the transport-rescue road to which you are heading. Follow this road (the track) to where it leads to the Triangel ski lift (krogci). Leave this track and head left between the track and the ski lift. There is no further route. Between the trees and later dwarf pines, find the best passage through the unmarked valley towards the saddle. Lok for the passes slightly to the left. A little higher up, the passages are easier to follow, but you still have to be careful not to get tangled in the dwarf pines. Just a few metres before the saddle, head left up a very steep slope. At first we are helped by some dwarf pines, which can be used as a kind of fixed safety gear, but if we are careful, the branch can quickly become stiff. A few metres below the summit we have to climb quite well, but the climbing doesn't go beyond the first level of difficulty. The climbing section is also short at just over 10m. Even greater care is needed when descending.
