Access to starting point:
From Kranjska Gora on the road which leads over the mountain pass Vršič we drive towards Bovec or vice versa. Between 22th and 23th hairpin turn of Vršič road we will get to the parking lot below the mountain hut Erjavčeva koča, where we park.
Path description:
From the mountain hut Erjavčeva koča na Vršiču or from the parking lot at the mountain hut we at first carefully cross the main road, and then we continue on a footpath in the direction of Slemenova špica, Mala Mojstrovka on Hanza route and Dom v Tamarju. Wide and well-beaten, mostly rocky path then at first ascends to the last zig zag on Kranjska Gora side, where it turns a little to the right and is further relatively steeply ascending. During the ascent path leads through lanes of dwarf pines and among rare larches. With nice views on Špik group, Škrlatica, Prisojnik, Vršič... we soon reach the crossing, where we join even a little more visited path from the mountain pass Vršič.
Here we continue right and past few meters distant viewpoint in few minutes ascend on a saddle Vratca (1799 meters), where there is the next marked crossing.
Left continues secured climbing path on Mala Mojstrovka and unmarked path towards Sleme, straight leads a marked path towards Slemenova špica, and we continue right on a well-beaten, but further unmarked footpath which leads towards Prednje Robičje.
From the saddle, we at first gently ascend over short grassy slope, and then we get to steeper terrain vegetated with dwarf pines. Higher, the path turns a little to the left and passes into even more dense lane of dwarf pines, through which runs occasionally quite overgrown footpath which is all the time easy to follow. Few minutes higher we step on a panoramic ridge of Robičje, from which opens up really nice view towards surrounding mountains. Also on the ridge dwarf pines in some parts branched out, so that on some spots the path is more overgrown. Such ridge path, which some harder spots avoids on the left, we then follow all the way to panoramic and compared to surrounding peaks also less visited peak.
On the way: Vratca (1799m)
