Podnar / Bodenbauer - Ogrisalm/Vgrizeva planina

Access to starting point:
We drive to the border crossing Ljubelj and continue on the Austrian side. Soon after that, when we notice a smaller church on the left side of the road, the road towards the village Poden / Bodental branches off to the left. At the crossroad for the village Slovenji Plajberk / Windisch Bleiberg we turn left towards Podnu / Bodental. In Podnu / Bodental we come to mountain signposts for Celovško koča / Klagenfurter Hütte left and right. We go left and drive on the road to the end of the asphalt, where on the parking lot near the grazing fences we park.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we head onto the traffic-closed forest road with signs »Marchenwiese«. The walking forest road through the forest in a gentle ascent brings us to a pleasant meadow, where a beautiful view opens up towards the northern walls of Vrtača and Palec. Further, we cross the meadow on which the footpath is hard to follow and on the other side we look for a cart track which goes slightly upwards into the forest. After a few minutes' walk on the cart track, the blazes direct us to the right onto a footpath which soon crosses a torrent by which it then ascends. The path then withdraws from the torrent a little to the right and brings us to a smaller clearing, where the marked path directs us even a little more to the right. The path ahead ascends steeper and after a good 30 minutes of walking it brings us to a junction, where we continue right (left Celovška koča). The path ahead ascends slightly and past a spring in a few minutes of walking brings us to Vgrizeva planina, where a beautiful view opens up.

The trip can be extended to the following destinations: Kosmatica / Kosmatitza ( 15 min), Klagenfurter Hutte/Celovška koča, Ovčji vrh (Kozjak) / Geissberg (Kosiak), Prešernova koča na Stolu, Vertatscha/Vrtača, Hochstuhl/Stol
