Path description:
From the parking lot by the main road, we descend to the parking lot by inn Pr Jagru, and we look for the beginning of the path into a smaller valley, where in the winter time there are two children's ski lifts. We continue by the ski slope or ski track Bambi (right ski lift), and after the ski lift ends, we continue with an ascent on the route of a former ski track. The path which is usually beaten also in the winter, continues on a ski track, and higher it is turning more and more to the left. Higher from the path increasingly beautiful views opening up, which reaches all the way to Triglav, and the path quickly brings us to the former upper station of the ski lift, from where to the top of Hotunjski vrh separates us only few 10 strides of walking on the ridge.
