Tinčkova koča - Srednji vrh (above Završnica) (via Smokuška planina)

Access to the starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice motorway, take the Lesce exit and follow the road towards Žirovnica and Jesenice. After a few km of driving, you will come to a crossroads where the road to Žirovnica and Moste turns right (from Jesenice, left). Just a few metres further, at the next crossroads, turn left into Moste (right into Žirovnica). Continue past the memorial to the fallen fighters, where the road starts to climb uphill under the railway line. At the top of the hill, turn right (at the Vila Karin sign) and we continue towards Završniškem jezero and Valvasor's home. The road then bends and leads to a crossroads where the road to Valvasor's home branches off to the left, and we continue straight ahead on the initially still asphalted road. The road soon becomes macadam, and we follow it to a parking area near Tinček's hut. The road is often in quite bad condition in the upper part.

Path description:
From the parking lot at Tinčková's cottage, continue along the wide stone cart track towards the cottage at the source of the Završnice River. After a few steps, the signs direct us slightly to the right, onto a slightly steeper footpath that climbs over a grassy slope with a view, and then returns to the aforementioned cart track, which we follow to the right. "After a few minutes' further walking, Cart track, which climbs relatively steeply through the wods, leads to a pasture fence, beyond which a marked crossroads is reached.
Continue straight on (slightly to the right of Roblek's house) along the still stony cart track, which leads us higher out of the forest onto the vast grassy slopes of Smokuč mountain pasture. Here the steepness gives way and the increasingly scenic route leads us in 15 minutes of further walking to the hut at the source of the Završnice River.
From the hut, continue left along the marked footpath in the direction of Hochstuhla. After a few minutes, the path leaves cart track and enters a small valley between Srednji vrh on the left and Vertatscha on the right. The moderately steep path, which passes through a sparse forest, climbs steeply for a short time higher up and after a few minutes of further walking leads us to the Šija saddle, where there is a marked crossroads.
Continue left (straight Hochstuhl lower trail, right Vertatscha and Hochstuhl upper trail) along the unmarked trail, which begins to climb steeply along and along the ridge. The trail, which runs between the dense dwarf pines belt, leads us to Srednji vrh after a 20-minute walk from the Šija saddle.
