Access to starting point:
A) 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.
B) We drive into Kranjska Gora, and then we continue driving in the direction of Jesenice. In Dovje we leave the main road and we continue right in the direction of Mojstrana and valleys Vrata, Kot and Krma, on next crossroads we follow the signs for Krma. 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 in Krma we continue on a marked path, which is at first barely ascending through the valley. After few minutes of walking on gravel terrain, the path turns slightly right and passes into the forest. Through the forest, we are at first gently, and then moderately to occasionally steeper ascending. Higher, the forest starts to get thinner, and after few steps of descent we get to a grassy plain Vrtača.
After the plain path once again ascends, and after approximately 20 minutes of additional walking brings us to Malo polje, where it turns right and again flattens.
On Malo polje path branches off to the left towards Bohinjska vratca and Vodnikov dom na Velem polju, and we continue straight on a wider path which starts gradually ascending towards the mountain pasture Zgornja Krma.
On the mentioned mountain pasture we bypass on the right side shepherd hut Prgarca, and a little further we reach a marked crossing.
From the crossing, we go right in the direction of Kredarica and Staničev dom (left path over Kurica, Planika...), and at the next crossing left in the direction of Kredarica (straight Staničev dom). The path ahead starts ascending steeper, at first mostly through dwarf pines, and higher through more and more unvegetated slopes. After for some time a little more gentle part, the path again becomes steep and further it is ascending over Kalvarija, where we cross a marked path Konjsko sedlo - Staničev dom.
Higher from the left at first joins the path from Vodnikov dom, and a little further also the path from Planika. At the both crossings, we continue in the direction of Kredarica, and with increasingly beautiful views, after approximately 5 hours of walking from the starting point, we get to the mountain hut Triglavski dom na Kredarici.
Before the chapel we continue right in the direction of Dom Valentina Staniča and after 5 minutes of additional walking, we ascend to the summit Kredarica, from where a nice view opens up towards Triglav and surrounding mountains.
