Matizovec - Zavetišče na planini Šija

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 macadam road, which will take you to Matizovec Farm in about 20 minutes.
From Matizovec, continue along the worse road in the route Dom na Kofcah , following the signs carefully at a few crossroads. After a few minutes of walking on the worse road or cart track, the signs direct us to a steep footpath, which first climbs steeply to the left, then crosses over to a woded ridge, where it turns slightly to the right. Continue along the steep mountain path, which crosses the cart track at a higher level and gradually flattens out behind it. Just a little further on, the forest thins out and the waymarked path turns right into the forest and joins cart track a little higher up, which climbs transversely to the right. Cart track turns left higher up, and the marked path from Kala joins us from the right.
From the crossroads onwards, the forest ends, and the increasingly scenic route leads us within 5 minutes of further walking to Doma na Kofcah.
From the Home on Kofcah, continue to the right in the direction of mountain pasture Šija. The path first crosses the slopes to the east in a gentle downhill and then joins the wide cart tracks, which leads out of the forest to the mountain pasture Ilovica. The path continues to climb slightly and after a few more minutes of easy walking leads to the Shelter at mountain pasture Šija.
