We drive to Žirovnica and follow this road towards lake Završnice. Road is leading us most of the time by a brook and brings us to a crossroads. We direct to left and keep on driving till a parking lot on the end of the road at Tinčkova koča (cottage).
Path description:
From the parking lot we turn on cart track towards Zelenica. Cart track become steep and soon we come to crossing where we take left (right: Roblekov dom). We continue on cart track through forest and in one hour we come to the Smokuška planina Alpine meadow. From here we reach the mountain hut (Koča pri izviru Završnice) in few minutes. From here we continue on the path towards Stol and Vrtača. It ascends slightly through a valley between Srednji vrh and Vrtača. After half an hour we come to the Šija saddle. On the crossroads here we turn downwards towards Stol. The path descends here, and in a slight ascent, takes us to another crossroad where an unmarked path over Zagon joins ours. Soon afterwards we join the upper path. The path steppens here and soon takes us to the saddle between both peaks. From here the Prešernova koša cottage is about 5 minutes to the left, but we turn right and after about 10 minutes of a moderate ascent reach the summit.
