Access to starting point:
Because of the rockfall, access to the described starting point is not possible until further notice (May 2018).
From the Ljubljana–Jesenice highway, take the Jesenice–west exit, then continue driving on the regional road towards Kranjska Gora. We follow the mentioned road to the settlement Belca and a few hundred meters further, then we will notice on the right side the beginning of the forest road which leads into the Belca valley. Further we drive on the initially still wide, then narrower and occasionally quite precipitous forest road. We follow the scenic road, which leads us through the tunnel, to the marked parking lot beside a smaller bridge at the confluence of Suhi graben and Beli potok stream.
If we continue driving over the bridge after which there is a green gate, it may happen that it will be locked on our departure.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the road, which immediately crosses a bridge, behind which stands a green gate. The road soon starts to ascend more steeply beside the scenic Suhi graben stream. Higher up, we ascend above a nice waterfall, and the road a little further brings us to a junction, where we continue on the left road (right Kepa).
The road continues to ascend moderately, and we follow it at all junctions along the "main" road. A little higher, the road leads past a forestry cottage and a little higher past a water trough. We continue to follow the road, which has a few smaller junctions, along the "main" road, and it brings us after the last sharp right turn to a small junction beside which there is usually a small cairn. Here, the path to Mojstrovica over Bašinov breg branches off to the left, and we continue straight ahead and follow the road to its end.
From the end of the road, we ascend to Sedlič, and there at the junction by the fence we continue left (right Kresišče and Trupejevo poldne). The path from Sedlič quickly leads onto steep slopes, over which we ascend to the forest-covered ridge of Mojstrovica. When we reach the ridge, the steep path flattens, and a little further it even descends slightly. A gentle ascent follows, and the path quickly brings us out of the forest onto expansive grazing slopes. Here the trail continues straight, but we proceed slightly right across easier pathless terrain, over which in 5 minutes of further walking we arrive at the panoramic summit.
From Mojstrovica, we descend slightly to the left, then notice a small path that leads us into the forest. Once in the forest, we begin to descend moderately, and then, when the path flattens, another somewhat better-trodden path joins from the left. We continue straight, exiting the forest onto a gentle grassy slope. We ascend a few dozen meters over it, then on the right side notice a wide path that turns right and crosses relatively steep slopes. When we cross the mentioned section of the path, it turns left and leads us further across a panoramic, moderately steep grassy slope. The path then enters a belt of sparse forest surrounded by dwarf pines. A short traverse follows, then the path ascends more steeply and quickly brings us to the summit.
In fog, orientation in the upper part is relatively difficult.
Starting point - end of road 1:45, end of road - Mojstrovica 35 minutes, Mojstrovica - Visoki vrh 35 minutes.
