Access to the starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice motorway, take the Ljubelj exit and follow the road towards the border crossing. When you leave the last tunnel (identified by a scree slope on the left-hand side of the road after the tunnel), you will see a road-builder's cottage at the first sharp left-hand bend and a dirt road alongside it. Park here in a small parking lot or drive on the minor road to the next parking lot, which is a little higher up.
Path description:
From the parking lot, turn onto the worse forest road and follow it. The road crosses a torrent at a higher level, then climbs slightly and leads to the place where it ends. Cross the bridge ahead and continue on cart track, which climbs moderately on partly overgrown scree. Cart track makes some sharp turns and leads from the northern slopes of Kosuta to the southern slopes of Loibler Baba.
Next, we mostly climb through the forest, which leads us to a larger clearing. Here cart track turns sharp left and climbs towards mountain pasture Korošica. Shortly before mountain pasture, cross a pasture fence where a fine view opens up. From the meadow, turn slightly right under the hut, which you can see above you. The path then turns to the left and in a few steps ascends to the hut at mountain pasture Korošica.
From the hut, continue north towards Loibler Baba (right Hajnževo sedlo). The path soon turns left and crosses the western slopes of Loibler Baba. The relatively gentle path soon leads us to the border ridge, where the path from the Ljubelje hut joins us from the left.
Continue to the right and after a short ascent reach a marked crossroads, where you continue to the left over a fence behind the Hainschgraben / Haajnžev graben markers.
On the Austrian side, follow the marked path downhill gently at first, then turn right and cross the fence.
Continue eastwards along the track that passes under the Loibler Baba ridge and leads to the Dovjakovo saddle. At the grassy saddle between Loibler Baba and Lokovnik's Grintovec, continue left up the ridge along the fence. Initially the path passes briefly through the forest, then crosses the fence and begins to climb through dwarf pines. The poorly beaten and somewhat overgrown path then follows the ridge for most of the time through dwarf pines and soon leads to a viewpoint.
