Ljubelj - Vrh Ljubeljščice (Triangel) (via Ljubeljščica)

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, you will see a parking lot on the right hand side.

Path description:
At the end of the parking lot, you will see the mountain signs for the Ljubelj hut, which take you up a few steps to the old Ljubelj road. Follow this road, which climbs moderately and is converted into a toboggan run in winter, all the way to the Ljubelj hut. This is reached after less than an hour's walk, with sometimes beautiful views of Loibler Baba, Veliki vrh and Begunjščica.
At the end of the parking lot, we see the mountain signs for Koča na Ljubelju, which lead us up a few steps to the old Ljubljana road. Follow this road, which climbs moderately and is converted into a toboggan run in winter, all the way to Koča na Ljubelju. This is reached after a 45-minute walk, with sometimes beautiful views of Loibler Baba, Veliki vrh and Begunjščica.
From the hut, continue left in the direction of Zelenica and Povna peča (Full Furnace). The trail continues past the hut and begins to climb immediately after it. The steepness soon gives way and the path leads us to a mostly vegetated ridge, from which we occasionally get some views. After a few more minutes, we see the Polna peč peak in front of us, which the path bypasses on its northern side on steep slopes. The path that almost encircles the peak leads us to a crossroads just a few steps below the peak. Here we continue left in the direction of Povna peči (Full Furnace) along the path which leads us in a few steps to the scenic peak (Zelenica on the right).
From Povna peć we return some 10 steps back to the last crossroads, and then continue along the ridge in the direction of Zelenica or ridge Ljubeljščica. The path continues westwards, initially following a partly woded ridge, before descending steeply along the edge of a steep grassy slope. As the path lays down, the ridge narrows and an exposed gully is crossed on the right, after which the ridge is quickly regained. There is some easy climbing, and then you reach the point where the sign says (was) the end of the safe route, and the safe route ended when you crossed the first gully.
There is a moderate descent on a crumbly exposed ridge, and then the path starts climbing again, and then it continues to climb moderately for the most part. The way forward leads us over a few more dangerous crossings, and the inscription Zelenica takes us a little further along the Slovenian side of the ridge. Once back on the ridge, the path leads to the most technically challenging part of the route, where you descend steeply using the fixed safety gear (although this part is technically the most challenging, some of the previous unprotected passages are more dangerous). You continue to walk at a moderate grade along a very scenic ridge, and then the markings for Zelenica - protected path point you to the left, crossing downhill, where you cross a shorter scree slope before you reach a short scree slope. When the scree ends, use fixed safety gear to climb steeply up the side ridge and descend the other side, also using fixed safety gear, but the descent is not particularly difficult. There is a climb up to return to the boundary ridge, followed by some more climbing up to the saddle Čez Pod, where you go left towards Peak Ljubeljščica, which you reach after a minute's further walking. Ljubelj - Koča na Ljubelju 0:45, Koča na Ljubelju - Povna peč 0:30, Povna peč - Vrh Ljubeljščica 1:15.
Descend to Zelenica and from there follow the marked trail back to Ljubelj.
