Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Jesenice, we take the Ljubelj exit. Further, we drive to the center of Tržič and follow the road through the Dolžanova Gorge to the village Jelendol, where signs for the mountain pastures Kofce, Šija and Pungrat direct us to the left. The road then loses its asphalt covering and starts to ascend steeply. We follow this road at the crossroads in the direction of the mountain pasture Kofce. When we notice signs for Kofce and the chapel by the road, we park on the parking lot by the road (to here from Jelendol approximately 4.7 km).
If we miss this starting point, we can reach the mountain hut Dom na Kofcah also via two nearby paths, which are well marked (possible also on a bad road).
Route description:
From the parking lot, we head onto the footpath in the direction of the mountain hut Dom na Kofcah and the chapel. The relatively steep path brings us, after approximately 20 minutes of walking, out of the forest onto a clearing on the edge of which we notice the chapel.
Further, we continue on a cart track, which climbs over a belt of forest and brings us higher onto the grassy slopes of the mountain pasture Kofce. From here to the mountain hut Dom na Kofcah, we have only a few minutes of pleasant walking.
Along the route: Kapelica pod Kofcami (1440m)
The trip can be extended to the following destinations: Planina Spodnja Dolga njiva,
Tegoška planina,
Planina Pungrat,
Planina Ilovica,
Zavetišče na planini Šija,
Planina Zgornja Dolga njiva,
Mala Košuta,
Kofce gora (1 h),
Toplar (1 h 30 min),
Malo Kladivo (1 h 30 min),
Veliki vrh (Košuta) (1 h 45 min),
Veliko Kladivo (1 h 45 min)

Discussion about the trip Mrzli studenec - Dom na Kofcah

Everything is nice and true. Our mountains are really beautiful. Also the chapel 10 minutes from the parking lot under Kofce is something special - nice. We always talk about untidy "hikers" who litter in nature, which is true. They do it, those who have backpacks (pocket - urban) made of leather only for handkerchiefs and money. For such we don't need markings, paths strewn with paper handkerchiefs show us the way to the hut. As for the chapel under Kofce, I give advice. ALL WHO EVER LIGHT CANDLES, USED TAKE THEM DOWN TO THE VALLEY TOO. AND OTHER GARBAGE (DRY FLOWERS, ROTTEN WOOD, FLOWER JARS, BUILDING MATERIAL) DOES NOT BELONG NEAR SUCH AN OBJECT. FAITH IS NOT EVERYTHING, CULTURE IS ALSO NOT. good luck mountaineer - tone

I'm interested if the road to Mrzli studenec is drivable, i.e. dry?

The road hasn't been in such a catastrophic condition for a long time..

The road to Mrzli studenec is still quite good and drivable without problems

I'm wondering the same, and about the road closures these days I have no idea. The more I read, the less I know 0.0

Today hiked the circular path Mrzli studenec - dom na Kofcah - Veliki vrh/Kosuta - Toplar - Kofce gora - Mali turn - Malo kladivo - Taborniski dom na planini Sija - Mrzli studenec. Phenomenal circular tour, but on the path between Sija and Kladivo there's a fallen spruce and a slightly slippery trail, stones "peel" off the ground so watch your steps. For descent this path might be a bit strenuous on the joints. On the way we also spotted a viper :O the circular tour was a full-day affair with longer stops at both huts and shorter ones at peaks and in between for photos, walking at average pace total 4h20min (we parked the car a bit lower so 20min up and down on the road). Hiked with two dogs used to mountains (mountain rescuers), but even small puppies could manage up. Huge crowds, both huts fully packed on such a nice sunny Saturday. Struklji I recommend more at Sija in my humble opinion  Road to Mrzli studenec open, newly paved below, higher up some parts typically mountainous and rough, but passable - even with a lowered car

@rekar thanks  @Lukito, repaired or leveled only the initial part from Jelendol up where macadam starts. It was really badly torn there, now it's nice, higher up it's still... so so but doable, we went with lowered Alfa, up there even Twingos and onwards.

The road to Jelendol will be normally passable. There will be no detour to Podljubelj.

Hello, if anyone has recently chosen Mrzli studenec as starting point, I'm interested in the condition of the road leading to it. And whether the starting point is marked or otherwise recognizable, since I plan to set off in the middle of the night. Thanks and best,

Hello, I would like information on whether it is possible to drive by car to Mrzli studenec and where the best place to park is, since I plan to go to Veliki Vrh, Veliko Kladivo, and maybe traverse the Košuta ridge? Thanks in advance for the help.

Hi, it is possible without problems, I was there a couple of weeks ago. Park along the road at the sign where the path to Dom na Kofcah starts, there is plenty of space comfortably.

Maybe someone knows how the road fared during the flood?
|

| Loni7. 08. 2023 13:17:05 |
If you check promet.si, the road between Čadovljami and Dolina is closed due to a landslide.

Copying this from the FB page of Planinski dom na Kofcah: NOTICE!!! Planinski dom na Kofcah will tomorrow, on Sunday, still be CLOSED. We will reopen it on Monday, 07 August. However caution. The road from Jelendol towards Kofce will need repairs (it is more difficult to drive) as it is not exactly in the best condition. Before departure check the status of the other roads. Be aware that the competent services (including GRS) are still dealing with the consequences of the floods so be careful in the mountains and safe steps. The mountain waits, life is only one.

I haven't seen the path with my own eyes since I went from a lower starting point, but according to locals and the caretaker, the road from Jelendol to Mrzli studenec is suitable only for jeeps or higher vehicles. Unless you don't mind damaging your car. The bend at the feeding station is quite damaged, and higher up there are water channels too. Until the foresters fix the road, lower starting points will be relevant, yesterday most came from Matizovca. If anyone else is interested

Hi, what's the road to the starting point like now? 
|
|
|
|
| garmont10. 11. 2024 10:28:45 |
I was up here two months ago. I'd say the road is only suitable for higher vehicles. I doubt anything has improved in the meantime.

|
| ppegan11. 11. 2024 19:48:13 |
But I was there 14 days ago and it wasn't that bad. Yes the road is a bit potholed and has some ditches, but it's doable. And I don't have a high car. It also depends on how much damage to the car you're willing to risk Good thing there are plenty of lower starting points where the car doesn't suffer

Hello! How is the road and path to Kofce?

| bib6. 08. 2025 16:01:07 |
Hi. We went yesterday. Go with a higher vehicle that you don't mind damaging. In the lower part the road is worse, eroded by water, but you can go slowly through ...
