Access to the starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice motorway, take the Podnart (Ljubelj) exit, then continue on the expressway towards Ljubelj and Tržič. When the expressway ends, you will see a petrol station on the right hand side, before which turn right down towards Tržič. Continue through Tržič, and we follow the narrower road towards Dovžana Gorge and then through the villages of Dolina and Jelendol to the hamlet of Medvodje. Here, at the first crossroads, turn left in the direction of Košutna, Dolga njiva, Koschutnikturm, Šija, Kofc and Velika summit. Continue along the ascending dirt road to the crossroads at Košutna (a house nearby). From the crossroads at an altitude of 1080 metres, turn right and follow the slightly worse dirt road to the parking area of a quarry or avalanche.
Path description:
From the parking lot, take the cart track road, which branches off to the left of the road. Cart track goes into the woods and climbs moderately, crossing first a small and then a larger stream. Cart track, which has some shortcuts, makes a few bends and after a good 15 minutes leads to the pastures mountain pasture Lower Long Meadow.
After a short walk along mountain pasture, the path leads us to a crossroads where there are signposts.
Continue left in the direction of Koschutnikturm and Kofc (straight past the pasture at mountain pasture Lower Dolga njiva 1 minute) along the path which climbs crosswise into the forest. When you enter the forest, first cross the grazing fence and then, in a few minutes, arrive at the next crossroads.
This time continue straight ahead (sharp right Koschutnikturm) and follow the path which crosses the sometimes steeper slopes of Košuta to the left. The trail continues over some scenic slopes and continues with some short ascents and descents. After a while, when the trail passes into a dense forest, it splits into two parts.
The right marked path continues towards Kofcam, and we continue straight along the unmarked path, to which we are directed by a board with the inscription Tegošče - koča. The way forward is not marked, but it is marked with pink arrows. After a short cut through the forest, we arrive at a larger clearing, where we follow the arrows (here the path is temporarily lost due to several fallen trees). When the clearing ends, the path becomes more distinct, and it leads us a little further on to cart track, which we walk along for only a few steps, and then the arrows direct us to the right to a less well-trodden, but nicely traceable path. A little further on, you reach another cart track and then cross another one. The path returns to the forest and crosses a wire fence with the help of a small loitre. The path then returns to cart track and continues through the forest for some time. Later, the forest thins out and the path leads to Tegoško mountain pasture.
