Access to starting point:
We leave Gorenjska highway at exit Jesenice - west (Hrušica) and we continue driving in the direction of Kranjska Gora. At the traffic light between Mojstrana and Dovje we turn right and we park on a parking lot near the monument of Jakob Aljaž.
Path description:
From the parking lot at Aljažev hram we at first walk to the traffic light, where we cross the main road Jesenice - Kranjska Gora. On the other side, we start steeply descending to the bridge over the river Sava Dolinka, we then continue by the road or on a sidewalk through Mojstrana. In Mojstrana signs for Kot and Krma point us sharply left and then after few 10 meters also right. Ahead we follow the road which starts gently to moderately ascending above Mojstrana, after that for some time flattens and it brings us to a smaller crossroad, where a narrower road branches off to the right towards the gorge Mlačca.
We continue on the main road, and it starts ascending steeper and brings us in the area of Triglav national park.
Only a little higher marked footpath branches off to the left on Jerebikovec, and the road past the water catchment area we follow to Kosmačev preval. Here at first cart track branches off to the right towards Črna gora (later steep footpath) and only few meters ahead also forest road into a valley Kot. We still continue on the asphalt road, and in a gentle descent it brings us to a smaller crossroad, where we continue right steeply downwards (direction mountain hut Kovinarska koča, homestead Pocarjeva domačija and mogul meadows). After a short descent, the road flattens and out of the forest brings us on ample meadows of Zgornja Radovna. We follow the road past few houses, and then we get to an unmarked crossroad, where we continue right in the direction of house numbers 28 to 43 (straight mogul meadows and homestead Pocarjeva domačija).
We continue on a macadam road, and with nice views on surrounding peaks and walls, at all crossroads we follow it to the left or straight. A little further, the road goes into the forest and is getting worse. Next follows a crossing of torrent and after few 10 meters of additional walking, we join a wider macadam road which comes from Pocarjeve homestead.
Here we continue right and after good 20 minutes of additional walking, we get to the mountain hut Kovinarska koča v Krmi.
