Ljubelj - Vrh Ljubeljščice (Triangel) (via Ljubeljščica)

Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Jesenice, we take the Ljubelj exit and follow the road ahead to the border crossing. Only a few meters before the border crossing, we will notice a parking lot on the right side, where we park.

Route description:
At the end of the parking lot, we notice signposts for the mountain hut Koča na Ljubelju, which after some stairs take us to the old Ljubelj road. We follow this road, which is moderately ascending and in winter time converted into a sledding track, all the way to the mountain hut Koča na Ljubelju. With partly nice views on Košutica, Veliki vrh and Begunjščica, we reach it after a little less than an hour of walking.
At the end of the parking lot, we notice signposts for Koča na Ljubelju, which after a few stairs take us to the old Ljubelj road. We follow this road, which is moderately ascending and in winter time converted into a sledding track, all the way to the mountain hut Koča na Ljubelju. With partly nice views on Košutica, Veliki vrh and Begunjščica, we reach it after 45 minutes of walking.
From the mountain hut, we continue left in the direction of Zelenica and Povna peč (Polna peč). The path ahead goes past the mountain hut and immediately behind it starts ascending. The steepness soon decreases and the path brings us to a mostly vegetated ridge, from which we occasionally get some views. After a few more minutes, we already see the peak of Polna peč in front of us, which the path bypasses on its northern side along steep slopes. The path, which almost circles the peak, brings us to a path junction only a few steps below the summit. Here we continue left in the direction of Povna peč (Polna peč) on the path which in a few steps brings us to the panoramic summit (right Zelenica).
From Povna peč, we return about 10 steps back to the last junction, then continue along the ridge in the direction of Zelenica or the ridge of Ljubeljščica. The path, which continues towards the west, first leads us along a partly forested ridge, then temporarily descends steeply along the edge of a steep grassy slope. When the path flattens, the ridge narrows and on the right side we cross an exposed gully, behind which we quickly return to the ridge. Some easy ascent follows, then we arrive at the spot where there is (was) the sign "end of safe path", but the safe path already ended at the crossing of the first gully.
A moderate descent follows on a crumbly exposed ridge, then the path starts ascending again and further mostly ascends moderately. The path ahead also leads us through a few passages dangerous for slipping, and the sign Zelenica a little further temporarily leads us to the Slovenian side of the ridge. When we return to the ridge, the path brings us to the technically most difficult part of the path, where with the help of fixed safety gear we descend steeply (even though this part is technically the most difficult, some prior unsecured passages are more dangerous). Further, we walk in a moderate ascent along a very panoramic ridge, then signs for Zelenica - secured path direct us left, transversely downwards, where we cross a shorter scree. When the scree ends, with the help of fixed safety gear we ascend steeply to a side ridge, from it also with the help of fixed safety gear we descend to the other side, but the descent is not particularly demanding. An ascent follows, where we return to the border ridge, after which some more ascent follows to the saddle Čez Pod, where we go left towards Vrh Ljubeljščice and reach it after one more minute of walking.
Ljubelj - Koča na Ljubelju 0:45, Koča na Ljubelju - Povna peč 0:30, Povna peč - Vrh Ljubeljščice 1:15.
We descend to Zelenica and from there along the marked path back to Ljubelj.
