Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Jesenice - west (Hrušica) and we continue driving in the direction Kranjska Gora. When we come in Gozd Martuljek we turn right in the direction of Srednji Vrh and on a narrow and steep road we drive to the mentioned settlement. When the road flattens a little, we will come to a crossroad of multiple roads and turning point. Here we park on an appropriate place by the crossroad.
Path description:
From the crossroad, we continue on the left ascending road by which we notice signs "Trupijevo poldne". We for some time continue on the mentioned road, and then the next sign for the same peak points us right on an ascending grassy cart track. Cart track soon turns sharply to the right and is a short time ascending diagonally, and then it brings us to an unmarked crossing, where we continue on the lower right cart track which after few minutes of crossing gets very close the stream Jerman. Further, we are moderately ascending by the stream and the cart track on which we walk over a bridge few times crosses the mentioned stream. Higher, the path leads past some abandoned shepherd huts on Hudi hlevi, and then it flattens and in few minutes of additional walking brings us to a wider forest road (area named Železnica).
When we step on the road, we follow it to the left, and in a gentle ascent, we follow it to the first crossroad. Here we continue sharply right, where in few minutes of additional walking, we step out of the forest on the bottom south edge of the mountain pasture Blekova planina. The road ahead leads on the right edge of the mountain pasture, after that when it turns to the left, we leave it and we continue by the edge of the forest on the more and more panoramic slopes. In less than 5 minutes of walking from the spot, when we left the road we get to wooden Austrian hut (Blekova Hütte).
From the hut, we walk on the mountain pasture a little towards the west, where we quickly get to the sign, which marks a national border. We continue on at first indistinct border ridge on the path which soon goes into the forest. We continue the ascent on easy to follow and ahead with Austrian blazes marked path, which is ascending on and by the national border. Higher, the path turns a little towards the left and for a short time it ascends steeper. After few minutes of the ascent, the path flattens and it brings us to the edge of the forest. Here Austrian blazes turn right downwards, and we continue few more 10 strides and quite gently sloping path quickly brings us to the summit of Zajčnik.
