Path description:
From Planica we continue on a macadam road towards the mountain hut Dom v Tamarju, and before the road passes into the forest it splits into two parts. We continue on a slightly right road in the direction of the footpath towards Tamar (slightly left driving road which is closed for public traffic).
The path ahead leads us on the road which past the last parking lot of NC Planica passes into the forest and which is in the winter time converted into a cross country ski trail. Next follows an ascent on a gently sloping road which mostly runs through the forest, and when the path leaves the forest, by the path are peepholes with signs what is seen. Higher forest several times gets thinner or we leave it for some time, so that beautiful views are opening up on mountains, which are rising above Planica and Tamar. When we already get quite close to the mountain hut Dom v Tamarju a breathtaking view opens up also on Jalovec, and the path splits.
We continue slightly left (slightly right source of Nadiža) and about a minute ahead we join the driving road, and there past a chapel we get to the mountain hut.
