Access to starting point:
At first, we drive to Kranjska Gora, and then we continue driving towards Rateče. At the crossroad, where a road towards Rateče branches off to the right, straight the road continues towards Italy, we turn left in the direction of Planica. After a short ascent, we get to ski jumping hills in Planica, where there are some large parking lots.
Since the road towards Dom v Tamarju is closed for public traffic we have to park already in Planica, this extends the path for approximately 45 minutes.
Path description:
First, we walk to Dom v Tamarju, and from there we continue on a marked mountain path in the direction of Jalovec and Ponce (left Slemenova špica). The path ahead leads us through the forest, which quickly brings us to the next crossing, where the path on Ponce branches off to the right. We continue in the direction of Jalovec and we continue the ascent on the path which is for a short time still ascending gently through the forest. When we come out of the forest at first for some time we are ascending on extensive partly already overgrown gravel terrain, and then we gradually get on the scree, which continues towards Jalovec couloir. On the scree we ascend to a marked crossing, where we continue left (right Kotovo sedlo and Jalovec past the bivouac below Kotovo sedlo) in the direction of Jalovška škrbina. Further, the path continues ascending on the scree, and then it brings us to the next crossing, where we continue right in the direction of Kotovo sedlo (slightly left Jalovec over Jalovška škrbina).
The path ahead ascends diagonally towards the right and gradually passes on less steep slopes. Higher, the path flattens even more and past many big boulders brings us to a crossing, where from the right side a little more demanding path joins. We continue left and after few minutes of additional ascent, we get to a saddle Kotovo sedlo.
