Planina Pungrat - Veliko Kladivo

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana–Jesenice highway, take the Ljubelj exit. We then drive to the centre of Tržič and follow the road through Dolžanovo Gorge to the village of Jelendol, where signs for the mountain pastures Kofce, Šija and Pungrat direct us 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 Pungrat, near which we park on one of the parking areas by the road.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we first walk to the mountain pasture Pungrat, then a few tens of metres before the cottages on the mountain pasture we turn left onto an extensive meadow, over which we ascend in a gentle rise to the edge of the forest, where we notice a mountain signpost for Škrbina (the initial part of the path is poorly marked).
We continue the ascent on a moderately steep forest path that rises above the mountain pasture Pungrat. After approximately 20 minutes of walking from the starting point, we step out of the forest onto increasingly steep slopes, first covered with brushwood then only with grass. The steep path brings us, with ever more beautiful views, after a good hour of walking to Škrbina, from which a view opens up onto the Austrian side.
From Škrbina we continue left in the direction of Veliki vrh (right Tegoška gora). The path ahead first crosses a steep grassy slope, then transitions to the ridge, which is occasionally somewhat exposed. Further on, we mostly ascend along the Slovenian side of the ridge, only occasionally does the path cross to the northern Austrian side. We follow this panoramic and locally very steep path, which except on a short section is not secured, along the partly exposed ridge to the summit of Kladivo, which we reach after approximately one hour of walking from Škrbina (in wet conditions and snow there is a great risk of slipping).
Starting point - Škrbina 1:10, Škrbina - Kladivo 1:05.
