Tinčkova koča - Dom na Zelenici

Access to starting point:
From the highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we take the exit Lesce and follow the road ahead in the direction of Žirovnica and Jesenice. After a few km of driving, we will arrive at 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 the monument to the fallen fighters, where the road begins to climb up a slope under the railway line. At the top of the slope, we turn right (at the sign for Vila Karin), but we continue ahead towards Završniško jezero and Valvasorjev dom. The road then flattens and brings us to an intersection, where the road to Valvasorjev dom branches off to the left, and we continue straight ahead 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 section is often in rather poor condition.

Route description:
From the parking lot at Tinčkova koča we continue on a wide rocky cart track in the direction of Koča pri izviru Završnice. Already after a few steps of walking the blazes direct us slightly to the right onto a somewhat steeper footpath, which climbs over a panoramic grassy slope, then returns to the previously mentioned cart track, which we follow to the right. The cart track, which ascends relatively steeply through the forest, brings us after a few minutes of further walking to a pasture fence, behind which we arrive at the marked junction.
We continue straight ahead (slightly right Roblekov dom) on the still rocky cart track, which higher up leads us out of the forest onto the vast grassy slopes of Smokuška planina. Here the gradient eases and the increasingly panoramic path brings us in 15 minutes of further walking to Koča pri izviru Završnice.
From the hut we continue right on the marked footpath in the direction of Zelenica. The path already after a few steps of walking brings us to the spring of Završnica, beyond which we step onto a pleasant meadow. Beyond this meadow the path ascends somewhat more steeply and after a few minutes of further walking brings us to the foot of the western part of the Zelenica ski area. Here the path turns slightly to the right and ascends moderately through a short and sparse strip of forest. After the short ascent we step onto an indistinct saddle, from which we then descend in a few dozen steps to the Dom na Zelenici.
