Access to starting point:
From the road Jesenice - Kranjska Gora we drive to Mojstrana, and then we follow the signs for Krma and Radovna. When Mojstrana ends, soon a macadam road branches off to the right towards the gorge Mlačca, and we park a little further at the tennis court.
We can also park lower in Mojstrana on a parking lot by the ski slope or somewhere else on an appropriate place, which makes our path a bit longer.
Path description:
From the starting point, we walk to the main road, and then we continue the ascent on the asphalt road. Soon after the sign, which marks the beginning of Triglav national park, the red signposts point us to the left on a cart track in the direction of Jerebikovec. The cart track, on which we continue quickly changes into a steep footpath which by an indistinct small valley brings us to a viewpoint with a bench, where from the left joins an unmarked and even a little steeper footpath which leads on a slope Na tnalu.
From the bench, from which a beautiful view opens up in the direction of Kepa and its neighboring peaks, we continue on a marked path, which is then steeply ascending on northwestern slopes of Mežakla. Higher besides the path also the slope becomes quite steep, therefore mainly in wet on some spots, it is also dangerous for slipping. We are steeply ascending to the altitude approximately 1300 meters and then the path flattens and it brings us on the edge of plateau Mažakla, where at NOB monument we leave the marked path and we continue left on pathless terrain towards Mali vrh.
We at first walk gently, and after few 10 strides, we start ascending steeper on an indistinct southwestern ridge of Mali vrh. After few minutes of the pathless ascent we reach Mali vrh, from which a view opens up a little in the direction of Karawanks.
