Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Kranjska Gora, and then we continue driving towards Vršič. Already soon after that, when Kranjska Gora ends, we cross a river Pišnica and only few 10 meters further we turn right on a larger parking lot, where we park by the lake Jasna.
B) We drive into Trenta, and then through mountain pass Vršič we drive towards Kranjska Gora. When we get to the lake Jasna we park on a large macadam parking lot by the lake (parking lot is located on the left side of the main road).
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue few meters back towards Kranjska Gora to a dam at power station, where we go on a footpath which continues horizontal by the river. After few meters, we cross a riverbed and the path ahead brings us into the forest, where already after few meters of ascent we come to a crossing at the bench.
We continue sharply left and the path gets interrupted by the caption, the path to Mala Pišnica CLOSED (zaprta). We continue on this path which starts ascending steeply in zig-zags. When the steepness decreases we again notice a sign, the path to Mala Pišnica CLOSED. Here we leave the path which runs to Mala Pišnica and it turns left. We continue straight upwards on a poorly visible footpath which again steeply ascends. And only few meters ahead, the path brings us to a vantage point, from which a nice view opens up on Martuljek group of mountains. The path then for a short time ascends, and higher goes right, where with some ascents and descents crosses slopes towards Kranjska Gora ski slope. This part of the path on some spots is slightly exposed, but without major hazards. The footpath which is in parts hard to follow brings us on a ski slope only few ten meters above summer sledding. Further, we continue left upwards on a ski track (while the ski slope operates walking on tracks is forbidden!). The path ahead crosses one-seater chairlift, which runs to hut on Vitranc and it brings us to the upper station of four-seater chairlift in Podkoren.
Here we continue left upwards on permanently closed ski track. The path a little higher avoids the ski slope in the forest, where it is steeply ascending below one-seater chairlift (chairlift, which runs to Vitranc several years doesn't operate anymore). In parts pretty steep path then brings us on a ridge, where on the left side we notice a mountain hut Mojčin dom na Vitrancu, which we reach in few steps of additional walking.
