Access to starting point:
We leave Gorenjska highway at exit Hrušica and follow the road ahead in the direction of Kranjska Gora. Just a little before the village Dovje the road which goes to Mojstrana (Vrata, Kot and Krma) branches off to the left. We follow the road ahead in the direction of valley Vrata and we drive on that road to the large parking lot near Aljažev dom.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on a macadam road which after 3 minutes of walking brings us to a crossing at Aljažev dom. We continue straight in the direction of Triglav, Luknja and Pogačnikov dom (right Škrlatica) on a wide path, which goes behind the chapel (on the right side) and Aljažev dom (on the left side) into a lane of a forest. A wide tourist - walking path past the winter bivouac brings us out of the forest, where in front of us we notice the famous wedge (monument dedicated to fallen partisans mountaineers). We continue straight (left Tominšek route) on the path which returns into the forest and it brings us to the next crossing, where we continue straight (right Stenar, Pogačnikov dom). The path ahead is ascending by the torrent and soon brings us to a crossing, where we continue straight in the direction of Luknja (left Čez Prag route). The path ahead crosses a short lane of bushes, and then passes over below the scree of surrounding mountain walls. Here the path towards Bivak pod Luknjo branches off to the right (5 minutes), and we continue straight on the more and more steep path. The last meters below Luknja the path ascends even steeper and it brings us to the border with Primorska. Here a nice view towards the mountains above the valley of Soča river opens up.
Further, we continue left in the direction of Triglav over Plemenice (straight downwards Zadnjica, right Bovški Gamsovec). The path already after few steps ascends on a wall almost vertically upwards. In front of the entry into a climbing part of the path, we put on a helmet. In the initial part we have fixed safety gear for help, which are in the upper part rare. When we climb initial wall path flattens which doesn't mean, that there is end of problems. From here ahead there almost isn't any fixed safety gear and occasionally we walk on a footpath above a deep precipice. In wet great risk of slipping! Difficulties then slowly decrease and the path brings us to the famous Sfinga (steepest Triglav column), to see it we have to step a little away from the marked path. The path ahead brings us to plateau Zahodna Triglavska planota, where there is a crossing. Here we continue right (left Triglav, slightly right Dolič) on an unmarked path, which after additional 10 minutes of walking, it brings us to Morbegna. From Morbegna to the top we only have two minutes of ascent on the upper slope of Glava v Zaplanji.
