Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Kranjska Gora, and then we continue driving towards the mountain pass Vršič. When Kranjska Gora ends, the road leads past the lake Jasna, and behind the lake we come to the bridge over Velika Pišnica, where there is the beginning of the described path. We park on a smaller parking lot by the crossroad, or a little earlier, on a large parking lot before the beginning of TNP, or after the bridge near the former hotel Erika.
B) We drive to Trenta, after that over mountain pass Vršič we start descending towards Kranjska Gora. After we cross a bridge over Velika Pišnica, there is the beginning of the described path. We park on a smaller parking lot by the crossroad, or a little earlier near the former hotel Erika, or a little after the bridge, on a larger parking lot opposite of TNP sign.
Path description:
From the bridge over Velika Pišnica we continue in the direction of the mountain hut Koča v Krnici, where the path leads on a macadam road, and through the valley of Velika Pišnica. A quite gentle road, that runs by mountain stream, at first crosses few torrents, and after a dam, which is because of high mountains at the back quite photogenic, a little ahead brings us to a marked crossing, where the path through Kačji graben on Špik branches off to the left.
We continue straight on still gentle road which then through gravel terrain brings us to a marked crossing, where on the periphery of the mountain pasture V Klinu, from the right joins the path from Ruski križ.
We continue left in the direction of Krnica, after that immediately after the crossing of torrent right on a forest footpath. Next follows a moderate ascent through the forest, and after approximately 20 minutes of additional walking, we get to the mountain hut Koča v Krnici.
From the mountain hut Koča v Krnici we continue straight (left Špik and Velika Dnina) in the direction of Križ, Pogačnikov dom na Kriških podih and Škrlatica. The path ahead at first still leads through the forest and then it brings us into a lane of bushes, where for some time we walk by the mighty torrent deposits. Higher, the path turns a little to the left and starts ascending steeply. Next follows a steep ascent on an area named Travno brdo, where the path leads through the last lane of a forest. Higher larch forest at first gets thinner, after that quite quickly also ends. Next follows an ascent over a short grassy part, and from the path which passes on the scree, nice view opening up on surrounding mountains and walls. Higher, at an altitude of approximately 1900 meters, the path flattens and brings us in the cirque V kotu, and at the end of the cirque, the path turns left and it brings us to the entrance into the wall Kriška stena (in the early summer at the entrance into a wall there is often still snow).
In front of the entry into a wall, possible also earlier we put on a helmet, and then we carefully step into a wall. The path at the beginning of the wall turns left and steeply ascends, and further, the path mostly runs on natural passages, on harder spots we get also help from fixed safety gear. The ascent on a wall, which is besides exposure, exposed also to falling stones lasts approximately one hour. Above the wall the path flattens and it brings us to a crossing on Vrh Kriške stene, where we continue left downwards in the direction of Škrlatica (right Križ,). Already after few minutes of descent, the path brings us to the next crossing, where we again continue left (straight bivouac Bivak na Rušju and valley Vrata). Ahead we walk below the walls of Gubno and Dovški Gamsovec, without large changes in altitude. After a half an hour of additional walking, the path again starts ascending, and leads on a crumbly gravel terrain towards the steep notch Rdeča škrbina, which is situated between Dolkova špica and less known Rogljica.
On the mentioned notch we continue right in the direction of Dolkova špica (straight downwards Škrlatica), on the path which ascends on and by the upper ridge of the mountain. After 15 minutes of additional, in parts quite steep path, we reach the panoramic peak Dolkova špica.
