From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Jesenice - west, and then we continue driving on a regional road towards Kranjska Gora. The mentioned road, we follow to the settlement Belca and for few 100 meters ahead, and then we will notice on the right side beginning of the forest road which runs into a valley of Belca. Ahead we drive on at first still wide, after that narrower and occasionally quite precipitous forest road. Scenic road which leads us through the tunnel we follow to a marked parking lot by smaller bridge by the confluence of Suhi graben and stream Beli potok.
If we continue driving over a bridge after which is green gate, it can happen, that it will be locked on the way back.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the road, and it immediately crosses a bridge, behind which is situated green gate. The road soon starts ascending steeper by scenic stream Suhi graben. Higher, we ascend above nice waterfall, and the road a little further brings us to a crossroad, where we continue on the left road (right Kepa).
The road continues moderately ascending, and at all crossroads we follow the "main" road. A little higher road leads past the forestry cottage and a little higher past a trough with water. The road which has some smaller crossroads we still follow on "main" road, and after the last sharp right turn it brings us to a smaller crossing by which there is usually situated a smaller cairn. Here the path on Mojstrovica over Bašinov breg branches off to the left. We go on the mentioned cart track which ascends steeply through the spruce forest. A little higher forest gets thinner, so that a nice view opens up on Kepa, and the cart track then brings us to a smaller crossing. We continue on the left (possible also right), which a little higher slightly descends and passes on steep slopes. When the cart track again starts ascending, we leave it and we continue right, where after few 10 meters of ascent we step on an ample grazing area of the mountain pasture Bavhe.
Further, the route of the ascent is clear. We just continue on a grassy slope straight upwards, "path" higher brings us to a small lake (watering place for animals), by which we also step on a well-beaten path. The mentioned path we only cross (left on a footpath Visoki vrh) and we still continue the ascent on pathless terrain. On the mentioned grassy slope we ascend all the way to the top of 1816 meters high Mojstrovica.
The orientation is difficult in the fog.
