Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Jesenice - west, and then we continue driving on a regional road towards Kranjska Gora. The mentioned road, we follow to the settlement Belca and for few 100 meters ahead, and then we will notice on the right side beginning of the forest road which runs into a valley of Belca. We go on the mentioned road which we then follow to a steep rocky part. We park few 10 meters before on an appropriate place by the road.
Path description:
Just before the road crosses a steep slope, we will notice on the left side a smaller cairn and next to it beginning of the path which ascends through Štenge. The path immediately steeply ascends, and from the left soon joins the path from a little lower starting point. After that, the path turns right and it is steeply ascending for some time. Higher, we step on a wide footpath, where we get to an unmarked crossing. We continue on the left path (right - Visoki vrh through the valley Za Vršičem), which becomes technically demanding. In a diagonal ascent we ascend on occasionally pretty steep and for slipping dangerous slopes, and then we get to the ridge, where a poorly visible path flattens. We continue on occasionally a partly panoramic ridge on the path which occasionally entirely vanishes. We for some time continue in the same direction, and then we get to a smaller watering place for wild animals.
From here we continue a little towards the left, where we can occasionally still follow the remains of the footpath. Higher, the path brings us on a steep with forest vegetated slope, through which we ascend a little towards the left to the nearby ridge, which is partly vegetated with dwarf pines. Further, a barely noticeable footpath very steeply ascends, and then for some time vanishes and turns to the right, where it crosses steep slopes by the foot of the smaller cliffs. Next follows a short ascent towards the right and we reach the ridge Barakarjeva špica. We some time walk on and by the ridge and then before the path reaches the secondary peak of Vretov vrh turns right and crosses slopes towards the saddle between the already mentioned peak and Visoki vrh. When we reach the saddle we join a better beaten path, and in a diagonal ascent we follow it towards the right to panoramic Vršič (which is located a little right from the path).
On the saddle few meters below Vršič we continue left (the path straight leads us towards the road Belca - Sedlič, option for a descent) and we continue on an easy to follow footpath which starts ascending through a dense lane of dwarf pines. Further, we are for some time gently ascending by the edge of steep slopes, and then the path passes on the upper slope of Visoki vrh, where it is gradually becoming steeper. Next follows few minutes of walking and a more panoramic path quickly brings us to the summit.
