Access to starting point:
We leave Gorenjska highway at exit Jesenice - zahod, and then we continue driving in the direction of Kranjska Gora. Just a little before the village Dovje, the road which runs towards Mojstrana and valleys Krma, Kot and Vrata branches off to the left. At the crossroads, we follow the mentioned road in the direction of valley Vrata, and we are driving there to the parking lot Pri Rosu.
Path description:
At the end of the parking lot there are situated numerous signs, and the path immediately splits into two parts. We choose the left path (straight Koča pri Peričniku - by road), which over a bridge crosses the river Triglavska Bistrica and then on the other side we continue right and we are then ascending parallel with the mentioned river. After an initial quite gentle walk, the path ascends a little steeper and crosses a short exposed slope. Next follows a short descent and from the right joins another path, which branches off from the road. We continue the ascent on gentle and wide path, which is barely ascending through the forest. The path which further gets few times very close to Triglavska Bistrica and from which occasionally also some view opens up on peaks, which are rising above the valley Vrata, then turns right and again over a small bridge crosses Triglavska Bistrica.
On the other side of the bridge path returns on the road, and there in few minutes of additional walking, we ascend to the mountain hut Koča pri Peričniku.
From the mountain hut Koča pri Peričniku we continue on the road which continues towards Aljažev dom v Vratih. Immediately after that, when by the bridge we cross the stream Peričnik, we leave the road and we continue the ascent right in the forest. We continue on a little steeper mountain path, on which in a little less than 10 minutes of walking through the forest, we get to a marked crossing, where we continue right in the direction of bottom waterfall (left upper waterfall 5 minutes). Here the path flattens and in few steps of additional walking brings us to a viewpoint at bottom Peričnik Waterfall.
The path further from a viewpoint is very slippery and on some spots also dangerous for slipping.
