Access to starting point:
We leave Gorenjska highway at exit Jesenice - west (Hrušica) and further we drive in the direction of Kranjska Gora. A little before Dovje, signs for Mojstrana, Krma, Kot and Vrata, point us to the left on a little narrower road, on which we quickly get to Mojstrana. Through Mojstrana we follow the signs for alpine valley Vrata, and we follow the mentioned road good 10.5 km (signs by the road), and then on the left side we notice stream and over it a bad forest road which is closed with a gate. We park at the appropriate place between the road and the stream, of course the way we don't hinder the passage through water.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we at first cross river Bistrica, on the other side we continue only few meters to the right and then we go left upwards on a footpath. The path is then for some time quite steeply ascending through the forest and later brings us out of the forest on extensive gravel terrain. We continue on a well visible footpath which a little further turns right, so that it avoids steep slopes on the left side of the valley. We ascend on the scree to the foot of walls, where the path turns to the left and is then ascending diagonally on gravel.
When we come above steep slopes on the left side of the valley, we don't continue right through the valley Za Cmirom, but we continue straight and we in a gentle descent cross the valley towards the steep walls of the ridge of Vrbanove špice. After the crossing of the valley, we go more to the left towards the scree (northeast from Spodnja Vrbanova špica), which leads towards the slopes of Požgana Mlinarica. Požgana Mlinarica is for some time well visible from the path and is from here visible as first vegetated peak in the ridge (looking from the right towards the left).
At first, we are ascending diagonally on a slope covered with numerous rocks, and when we come on the scree with smaller stones we will also notice a footpath which leads on the scree upwards. At the end of the scree we then continue on a footpath which leads us left through dwarf pines and larch forest. The path is further enough visible and we can follow it without any bigger problems. In the last part, the path few times steeply ascends and brings us on very panoramic peak.
