Matizovec - Kofce gora

Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Jesenice, we take the Ljubelj exit and follow the road ahead towards the border crossing. We leave the main road at the spot where the signs for »camp and Podljubelj« direct us to the right. When we leave the main road, we will already after a few metres arrive at a crossroad, where we continue left in the direction of »Kofce«. Further on, we drive through the village on a slightly ascending road and then turn right in the direction of »Matizovec and Kofce«. We then follow this occasionally somewhat narrower road, which is asphalted in the lower part, to a larger marked parking lot, about 150 elevation metres below the farm Matizovec.

Route description:
From the large free parking lot we continue on a macadam road, on which in approximately 20 minutes we arrive at the farm Matizovec.
From Matizovec we continue on a rougher road in the direction of Dom na Kofcah, and at several successive junctions we carefully follow the blazes. After a few minutes of walking on the rougher road or cart track, the blazes direct us onto a steep footpath, which first ascends transversely to the left, then transitions to a forested ridge, where it turns slightly to the right. Further on, we ascend on a steep mountain path, which higher crosses the cart track and gradually flattens behind it. Just a little further, the forest thins out, the marked path turns right into the forest and a little higher joins the cart track, which ascends transversely to the right. The cart track higher turns to the left, and from the right the marked path from Kala also joins us.
From the junction onwards the forest ends, and the increasingly scenic path brings us to the Dom na Kofcah in 5 minutes of further walking.
From the mountain hut we continue in the direction of Veliki vrh and Kladivo on an initially somewhat less visible path that begins to ascend across a scenic meadow. After 15 minutes of walking from the Dom na Kofcah we reach a nice viewpoint at the cross.
The path then descends slightly and brings us in a few minutes to the steeper slopes of Košuta. The path then ascends through a belt of dwarf pines, bringing us to a junction. We continue right (straight to Veliki vrh) on the path to which an unmarked but signposted path from the mountain pasture Šija joins after just a few metres. We continue left upwards on the path, which ascends steeply and quickly brings us to an exposed passage. Without fixed protection we cross a short but crumbly and slightly exposed ledge, behind which we enter a belt of dwarf pines. The path ahead ascends through a short belt of dwarf pines, then continues along the side ridge of Košuta. The increasingly scenic and quite steep path then joins the ridge path higher up.
We continue straight upwards on the unmarked path, which after 10 steps brings us to the summit (left Veliki vrh, right Kladivo).
