Matizovec - Veliko Kladivo

Access to the starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice motorway, take the Ljubelj exit and follow the road towards the border crossing. Leave the main road at the point where the signs for "Camping and Podljubelj" point to the right. After leaving the main road, after a few metres you will come to a crossroads where you turn left in the direction of "Kofce". Continue through the village on a slightly ascending road and then turn right in the direction of "Matizovec and Kofce". Follow this sometimes slightly narrower road, which is asphalted in the lower part, to a large marked parking area, about 150 metres below the Matizovec farm.

Path description:
From the large free parking lot, continue along the dirt road and in about 20 minutes you will reach the Matizovec farm.
From Matizovec, continue along the marked road on the right, which quickly leads across a meadow to a small crossroads. Again, continue along the right upper road, which then quickly turns into the often quite muddy cart track. After walking for a few minutes, leave cart track and follow the footpath, which starts to climb steeply through the forest. The marked path then crosses a few tracks and leads us higher up to a slightly larger clearing, where we continue slightly right into the forest. The path continues to climb crosswise, turns left at a higher altitude and leads us out of the forest, where we join the macadam road (Jelendol). Continue left upwards and after a few minutes of further walking the path leads us to the mountain home at Kofcah.
From the mountain home, continue in the direction of Veliki vrh and Kladiva along the initially slightly less visible path, which begins to climb over a meadow. After a 15-minute walk from the Kofcah home, you reach a beautiful viewpoint at the cross.
The path then descends gently and in a few minutes leads to the steeper slopes of Košuta. The path then climbs over lane of dwarf pines, where it leads to a crossroads. Continue to the right (straight ahead along the big peak) along the path which after a few metres is joined by the unmarked but marked mountain pasture Šija path. Continue left up the path, which climbs steeply and quickly leads to an exposed passage. Without fixed safety gear, cross a short, but crumbly and slightly exposed ledge, after which enter lane of dwarf pines. The way ahead climbs over a short lane of dwarf pines and then continues along the side ridge of Košuta. The increasingly scenic and rather steep path joins the ridge path higher up.
Continue right towards Kladiv (left Veliki vrh, straight up Kofce gora 10 paces) on the path which starts to descend gently along the edge of the ridge. The very scenic ridge trail, which runs along and along the main ridge, is slightly exposed in places, but in dry conditions the passages do not cause any problems. A little further on, the path approaches an undistinguished peak (Malo Kladivo) which leads to a short steep climb.
From Malo Kladivo the path starts to descend and quickly leads us to a small saddle between the two hammers. Here, an easy unmarked trail with mountain pasture Šija (possibility of return) joins us from the right, and we continue straight on the trail, which starts to climb steeply up the top slope of the Kladivo. After 10 minutes of steep and slip-prone walking, the path leads us to a scenic peak.
