Path description:
From Planica we continue on a macadam road towards the mountain hut Dom v Tamarju, and before the road passes into the forest it splits into two parts. We continue on a slightly right road in the direction of the footpath towards Tamar (slightly left driving road which is closed for public traffic).
The path ahead leads us on the road which past the last parking lot of NC Planica passes into the forest and which is in the winter time converted into a cross country ski trail. Next follows an ascent on a gently sloping road which mostly runs through the forest, and when the path leaves the forest, by the path are peepholes with signs what is seen. Higher forest several times gets thinner or we leave it for some time, so that beautiful views are opening up on mountains, which are rising above Planica and Tamar. When we already get quite close to the mountain hut Dom v Tamarju a breathtaking view opens up also on Jalovec, and the path splits.
We continue slightly right towards the source of Nadiža (slightly left mountain hut Dom v Tamarju 3 minutes), at first still on a wide and gently sloping path, and behind a water supply structure the path narrows and becomes steep. Further, we are ascending by the left bank of Nadiža, occasionally relatively steeply upwards. When higher we get closer to the cliffs path turns left and with the help of steel cables brings us to the waterfall Nadiža, source is situated above the waterfall.
