Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice, we go to the exit Jesenice - west (Hrušica), and then we continue driving in the direction of Kranjska Gora and then towards Rateče. Right next to the settlement Rateče we turn left towards Planica. Right before we get to a large macadam parking lots, we turn left towards Olympic Sports Centre Dom Planica. We park on an appropriate place by the mentioned hut, or we can also on one of the before mentioned parking lots in Planica.
Path description:
From Dom Planica we walk to the nearby boules court, above which we step on gravel of the nearby torrent. Further, we are few minutes gently ascending on the mentioned torrent, after that the cairn points us left into a lane of dwarf pines, where we step on a nicely settled, but unmarked hunting path.
The path which further starts ascending steeper through the forest, after approximately 15 minutes of walking from the starting point brings us to a smaller wooden log cabin, which in an emergency serves as smaller bivouac, otherwise it is intended for cameramen during ski jumping or flying in Planica. At the log cabin path for some time passes on a smaller ridge, which soon ends on a steep forested slopes. When the path passes into a dense forest it turns to the right and starts ascending steeply. Higher, the path flattens and gradually passes on pretty steep and mainly in wet for slipping dangerous slopes. Through the mentioned slopes, continues quite gentle footpath which is usually nicely cleaned of leaves,so the path in dry isn't dangerous. After few minutes of crossing from the right also joins a little (quite a lot) harder, but marked path from Planica (option for a descent in Planica).
From the crossing, we continue on a marked mountain path in the direction of Ciprnik and Vitranc. The path ahead again starts ascending steeply and a little higher turns right, where quickly brings us on a panoramic ridge. For some time we are ascending on a ridge, from which a nice view opens up on rough slope of Ciprnik and Jalovec and ridge of Ponce. Higher, the path for some time passes into the forest, after that returns on partly exposed and panoramic ridge. Further, the path returns into the forest, where for some time steeply ascends, and then it brings us on the main ridge of Ciprnik, where we join the path from Vitranc.
Here we continue right and we are for some time still ascending through the forest, through which more frequently beautiful views are opening up. Forest is soon replaced by dwarf pines, and the path gradually passes on pretty steep slopes, which are on some spots also slightly exposed. This in the last part quite steep path, then with a view on surrounding peaks, we follow all the way to a panoramic summit, which we reach after few minutes of additional walking.
