Access to starting point:
We leave Gorenjska highway at exit Hrušica and follow the road ahead in the direction of Kranjska Gora. Just a little before the village Dovje the road which goes to Mojstrana (Vrata, Kot and Krma) branches off to the left. We follow the road ahead in the direction of village Radovna and the valleys Krma and Kot. The relatively steep road then runs past the sign TNP, behind which the road soon flattens and it brings us to a crossroad, where a macadam road into a valley Kot branches off to the right. We continue straight on the road which starts descending. In the middle of the descent, a road into a valley Krma branches off to the right (straight Radovna). A little further, we come to the next crossing, where we continue right in the direction of Krma. Macadam road then brings us to the mountain hut Kovinarska koča, and we follow it further. Occasionally a little rough road then brings us to a parking lot in front of the gate.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue past a gate and we continue on gentle and for public traffic closed forest road. The worse road for some time continues on an extensive gravel terrain, and then turns slightly to the right, where passes into the forest and changes into a rocky cart track. Further, we are for some time gently ascending through the forest, after we stride across a little bigger torrent, the path starts ascending steeper through a dense forest. Higher, we pass out of the forest into a lane of dwarf pines, mixed with bushes, and the path is over the mentioned slope ascending on gravel. At the altitude approximately 1400 meters, the path flattens and after few 10 strides of additional walking brings us on a nice grassy plain named Vrtača.
On the other side of the plain, wide path again starts ascending and after approximately 20 minutes of additional walking brings us on Malo polje, where it turns to the right and brings us on a less noticeable crossing. We continue on easy to follow path (left Vodnikov dom over Bohinjska vratca), which is for some time gently ascending, and then it brings us to a trough with water. Further, the path splits into two parts, and we continue straight on a marked path, which over at first grassy slopes brings us to shepherd cottages on the mountain pasture Zgornja Krma.
