Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice, take the exit Podtabor (Tržič, Ljubelj), then continue to Ljubelj. After about 6 km from the petrol station at Bistrica pri Tržiču, we leave the main road, as the signs for Podljubelj direct us to the right onto the local road. Just a little further on, we arrive at the next crossroads, where we continue right and then after a few 10 m we park in a suitable place in the middle of the village.
If you turn left at the junction as you enter Podljubelj, it will be difficult to find a suitable parking space.
Path description:
From the starting point, go back a few 10 m to the crossroads, and from there continue along the asphalt road in the direction of Matizovec and Kofc. The road then starts to climb moderately through the village, then it is laid and leads to a small crossroads where we continue right in the direction of Kofc.
We continue for some time on the asphalt road, which leads us past a small cross to a hamlet of a few houses (Pod Košuto). Here we continue straight ahead on a slightly steeper road, which soon loses its asphalt coating. A few 10 m further on, there is a large gravel parking area, which you go around on the right hand side. From the road, which offers occasional views of Dobrča and the surrounding mountains, a few bends higher, a marked footpath branches off to the right, crossing one bend. The footpath returns to the road at the last bend in front of Matizovec Farm.
From Matizovec, continue on the worse road in the direction Dom na Kofcah , and we follow the markings carefully at several successive forks. 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 wooded 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.
