Path description:
From the mountain hut Koča na Gozdu on Vršič road we descend few 100 meters to a marked crossing, where we notice mountain signposts for mountain hut Erjavčeva koča na Vršiču. We go on the mentioned path, which we follow only few 10 strides. And after few steps of ascent we come on an unmarked crossing, where we continue right on an unmarked path, which at first starts gently, and then steeper ascending towards the north. Relatively easy to follow path, by which we notice some marks PP (path Planica - Pokljuka) after approximately 1 hour of walking, it brings us on a small saddle between Kumlehova glava on the left and Visoki Mavrinc on the right.
We continue right into a dense forest (left Kumlehova glava) on the path which is at first ascending gently on an indistinct ridge and then turns a little to the right, where it starts ascending steeper. Next follows only 5 more minutes of ascent and a more panoramic path quickly brings us to the summit of Visoki Mavrinc.
