Ljubelj - Vrh Ljubeljščice (Triangel)

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 beginning of the parking lot, the mountain signs for Hochstuhl, Vertatscha and Dom na Zelenici direct us to the wide cart track, which begins to climb along the torrent. When the cart track turns left a little higher up, we continue straight on along the mountain path, which continues through the forest and soon returns to cart track. Cart track turns right a little higher up and leads us out of the forest onto the ski slope of the former Zelenica ski resort. There is a short, steeper climb up the ski slope, and then the trail flattens out and leads us along the fothills of the scree below Begunjščica.
The marked path soon branches off to the right along a service road, and we continue along the "road" to the nearby Vrtača Hut.
At the hut, the road turns right and we continue straight on towards the mountain path to Zelenica. For a short time we continue under the former single-seater Zelenica II, and then the path begins to climb steeply up the slope, which is partly overgrown by dwarf pines. After a few switchbacks, we return to the service road, which we continue along, overloking the Šentanski avalanche.
The path ahead takes you along the slopes of the Lower Plot (the summit of which was covered by a sport climbing route a few years ago), then off the road turn right onto a footpath that cuts around a long bend. Once back on the road, we are at the top station of the former Zelenica II single-seater, and it is only a few steps downhill to the Zelenica Home.
In front of the mountain lodge, the marked path to Begunjščica branches off to the left, and behind the lodge, also to the left, there is a path to Hochstuhl, Vertatscha and Završnica, and behind the lodge we continue straight on to a less visible unmarked path that climbs up an unmarked valley. A little higher, continue right (straight ahead to the saddle Čez Pod and the top of the former Triangel ski lift), cross a small spring and start climbing steeply up a grassy slope. Higher up, we reach the ridge connecting Vrh Ljubeljščice and Spodnji Plot, and we continue to the left towards Peak Ljubeljščica (Spodnji Plot on the right), a peak also known as Triangel.
The way forward is to retreat slightly left along the ridge, and then, with beautiful views that stretch across the Stol all the way to Triglav, we reach the scenic summit.
