Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice highway take the Lesce exit and follow the road ahead in the direction of Žirovnica and Jesenice. After a few km of driving, we will get to an intersection, where the road to Žirovnica and Moste branches off to the right (from the direction of Jesenice to the left). Only a few meters ahead, at the next intersection, we turn left to Moste (right to Žirovnica). Further on, we drive past a monument to fallen soldiers, where the road starts ascending under the railway track. At the top of the slope the road turns right (at the sign Vila Karin), but we continue straight towards Završniško jezero and Valvasorjev dom. The road then flattens and brings us to an intersection, where the road towards Valvasorjev dom branches off to the left, and we continue straight on the initially still asphalted road. The road soon becomes macadam, and we follow it to the parking lot near Tinčkova koča. The road in the upper part is often in quite bad condition.
Route description:
From the parking lot, we go left on a wide footpath (straight on the bad road to Koča pri izviru Završnice), which at the beginning bypasses some holiday cottages. The wide path or cart track after a few minutes turns into a footpath, which crosses a torrent and then steeply ascends. The steep and little-visited path brings us higher to the hunting cottage from which some views open up on the surroundings.
The increasingly poorly visible path along which some smaller cairns are placed joins higher the marked path from Koča pri izviru Završnice towards Stol.
We continue left and the path, surrounded by dense bushes, soon brings us to a high mountain cirque, where the path from Dom na Zelenici joins from the right. We continue left towards Stol on a path which steeply ascends for a short time, then brings us to the plateau terrain between Svačica and Srednja peč.
Here we continue sharply right towards Celovška koča (straight to Stol). The path ahead soon steeply ascends over a short rocky step, then flattens and quickly brings us to the saddle Belščica, where we reach the border ridge.
Again we go right and continue the ascent on a path ascending a grassy slope surrounded by dwarf pines. We follow this increasingly panoramic path to the summit on which a cross stands.

Discussion about the trip Tinčkova koča - Bielschitza/Svačica (via Zagon)

23.3.: Already at the beginning I missed the starting point and then oriented myself by the map. I found the path only at the hunting hut, further on lost it again. It was very hard to follow, higher up I didn't look for it at all; there was still quite some snow among the bushes that was sinking in, so walking was strenuous. Otherwise a nice and quiet area. I'll try again when the snow melts.

Today I wanted to go along the described path. I'm wondering if at the second ''cottage'' along the path you need to turn slightly right?
Because I went straight at that cottage today and walked for another good hour on very steep pathless terrain until I rested a bit on a scenic ''glade'' among larches and turned back. I didn't find either the path or the hunting hut, but it was still a nice and very sporty ''trip''.

Today my friend and I did this path focusing on finding the right direction in Zagon. The path is no problem to find, it's a distinct trail that leads all the way to the junction with the lower path to Stol.

Problems probably due to the fact that the above description covers a less frequently used variant (?). If a newer description of one of the other peaks is used (e.g. Vrtača, Srednji vrh), the path is relatively easy to follow in both directions.

I also couldn't find the path through Zagon, so I went past Dom pri izviru Završnice, to Šija saddle, steeply towards Vrtača, then down scree and right to Svačica, which extends the path by almost an hour. Back I went via the lower path that goes to Stol and at the collapsed hut right down through Zagon. Indeed the downhill path is easier to follow or more logical. At Tinčkova koča there could really be a sign for the starting path.
