Aljažev dom v Vratih - Triglav (via Prag)

Access to the starting point:
Leave the Gorenjska motorway at the Hrušica exit and follow the road towards Kranjska Gora. Just before the village of Dovje, the road branches off to the left and leads to Mojstrana (Vrata, Kot and Krma). Follow the road in the direction of the Vrata valley and follow it to the large parking lot near the Aljaž's home.

Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the macadam road, which after a 3-minute walk leads to the crossroads at Aljaževem dom. Continue straight ahead in the direction of Triglav, Luknja and Pogačnik's home (right Škrlatica) along the wide path that goes behind the chapel (on the right) and Aljaž's home (on the left) into the lane of a forest. A wide tourist-walking path leads us past the winter bivouac out of the forest, where we see the famous wedge (a monument dedicated to the fallen partisan mountaineers) in front of us. Continue straight on (left Tominškova cesta) along the path which returns to the forest and leads to the next crossroads where you continue straight on (right Stenar, Pogačnikov dom). The path continues to climb along the torrent to a crossroads where you turn left onto the path across the Prag (straight Luknja and Plemenice) and after a few steps downhill you cross the torrent. On the other side, the path quickly leads to a steep part of the trail, where we are helped by rungs. Using the fixed safety gear, the path quickly takes you up a step to a less demanding part of the route. We continue to climb with increasingly beautiful views along the path, which is occasionally surrounded by dwarf pines. The easy part of the trail soon becomes more difficult again, and we are helped by the ropes, which make walking safer. The most difficult part of the route on the way over the Prag follows. With the help of crampons and a rope ladder, we climb the 15 m high almost vertical chimney. The difficulties then slowly disappear and the Tominšek path joins from the left. Just a few steps further along the path we see a nice little spring where we can rest. The way forward soon leads us to the next crossroads, where we continue to the right in the direction of Kredarica (left Staničev dom). The way forward runs along Triglavski podi, where we may have some problems with orientation (especially in the fog). The steepness of the path gradually increases again and in places we are helped by steel cable. The steepness then eases again, and the path leads us to Triglavski dom na Kredarici to which we have to climb slightly.
At the hut, the signs for Triglav direct us right down slightly to a small saddle between Kredarica and Triglav. Here you can see the remains of the Triglav Glacier (Zeleni sneg) on the right. Continue up along the steel cable to the entrance to the climbing part of the route. The route climbs steeply immediately, and the fixed safety gear rungs are particularly helpful. After a half-hour climb, a slightly easier route from Planika joins us from the left. Only a few steps further we reach the unmarked summit of Mali Triglav from which we descend slightly. Follow the exposed but perfectly protected path along the ridge. In the last part, the path climbs steeper and leads us to the Stanič shelter, which is 30 m away from the path. By the top, the steepness eases and the scenic route leads us to the top of Triglav, where the Aljaž Tower stands. Vrata - Begunjski studenec 3. 30, Begunjski studenec - Kredarica 1:30, Kredarica - Triglav 1:10.
