Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice, we go to the exit Jesenice - west (Hrušica), and then we continue driving in the direction of Kranjska Gora. In Kranjska Gora, at the crossroad, where a road branches off to the left towards the mountain pass Vršič, we continue straight, and after the end of the settlement, we need to pay attention, because we will on the right side of the road notice signs for inn Srnjak, which point us to the right through a bridge over the river Sava Dolinka. On the other side of the river we follow the signs for inn Srnjak, to which we come after approximately 2 km of driving on a steep, mostly macadam road. We park on a larger macadam parking lot near the inn Srnjak.
Path description:
From the parking lot at the inn Srnjak, we go on a wide cart track which goes into the forest and starts ascending steeper. Cart track soon turns to the left and then it is ascending diagonally on occasionally steeper slopes. Higher, the cart track turns right and splits into two parts. We continue sharply left (right cart track leads to the near feed site for animals) on partly muddy cart track which leads us through a dense lane of spruce forest. When the mentioned forest gets a little thinner, a hunting path branches off to the right, on which we can through a dense forest and in substantial steepness ascend to the hunting cottage Brvog, or we can still continue on a cart track which is diagonally ascending through the forest. The latter soon gets closer to a riverbed of the stream Sravnica, where it then turns sharply right and entirely flattens. Next follows few minutes of easy walking and the path brings us a little above the before mentioned hunting cottage Brvog.
At the hunting cottage both paths join and they bring us to a bad forest road, on which in few minutes we walk to the juncture with diagonal road Korensko sedlo - Železnica.
We follow the mentioned road to the right, but we walk there only few steps, and then on the left we notice a wide and usually also quite muddy cart track which starts ascending by and on the northwestern ridge of Nizka Bavha. Higher, the cart track turns to the right, and we look for old hunting footpath which continues on earlier mentioned ridge. The mentioned path, which on some spots is hard to follow (mainly there, where there are many fallen trees and some cart track), we all the time follow in approximately the same direction. Higher i.e. at an altitude of approximately 1500 meters, we again cross the forest road. We continue the ascent on a worse cart track which turns to the right and out of the forest brings us on a larger and very panoramic clearing. Here the cart track gradually ends, and we continue the ascent on short easier pathless terrain, on which we ascend on the main ridge and there we again reach easy to follow footpath.
Main ridge of Karawanks we will most likely reach on Nizka Bavha, or a little more to the east, on a smaller saddle. On gently sloping and easy to follow old border guard path, we then in few minutes we walk on an ample and grassy peak Grpišca.
