Mrzli studenec - Toplar

Access to the starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice motorway, take the Ljubelj exit. Continue into the centre of Tržič and follow the road through Dolžanovo gorge to the village Jelendol, where the signs for mountain pasture Kofce, Šija and Pungrat direct you to the left. The road then loses its asphalt surface and starts to climb steeply. Follow this road in the route mountain pasture Kofce at the crossroads. When you see the signs for Kofce and the chapel on the roadside, park in the roadside parking lot (about 4. 7 km from Jelendol).
If you miss this starting point, you can reach the house at Kofce by two other nearby paths which are well marked (you can also take a worse road).

Path description:
From the parking lot, follow the footpath towards the Kofcah home and the chapel. After about 20 minutes of walking, the relatively steep path leads us out of the forest to a clearing at the edge of which we see the chapel.
Continue along the cart track, which climbs through the lane of the forest and leads us higher up to the grassy slopes of the mountain pasture of Kofce. From here it is only a few minutes' pleasant walk to the mountain lodge at Kofce.
From the mountain lodge, 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 house at Kofce you reach a nice viewpoint at the cross.
The path then descends gently and leads us in a few minutes to the steeper slopes of Košuta. The path then climbs over lane of dwarf pines, where it leads to a crossroads. Continue straight on (right Kladivo and Kofce gora) along the path, which climbs steeply across the increasingly steeper slopes. The path continues along the uncultivated slope and soon leads us to a short steep section where we are helped by a rope ladder (not difficult). After crossing this part, the path turns slightly to the left and continues to climb relatively steeply over the grassy slope. The increasingly scenic route then leads us into a small valley, which we climb almost to the border ridge, where the ridge path joins us from the right. The path then leaves the valley and rejoins the southern slopes, where it passes the summit of "Toplar (2000m)" on the south side. It is at this point that you leave the marked path leading to Veliki vrh and turn right onto a pathless world. After three minutes of steep but easy climbing on the trackless path, you reach Toplar.
Starting point - Kofce 30 minutes, Kofce - Toplar 1:30.
