Ruski križ - Koča v Krnici

Access to the starting point:
Take the Kranjska Gora, where you continue driving to the left in the direction of Vršič or Bovec. Just before the 3rd serpentine of the Ruska or Vršiška cesta, you will notice a small parking lot along the road, where you park. On the opposite side of the road from the parking lot you can see a cross, and a few metres further on the left a forest road branch and mountain signs for the Koča v Cirque. You can also go down the worse macadam road towards Suha Pišnica where there is also a slightly larger parking area. There are also a few car parks a little further along the main road between the 4th serpentine and Mihov's home.
The starting point can also be reached from the coastal side via the Vršič Pass.

Path description:
Take the worse macadam road, which immediately begins a moderate descent through the forest. A path soon branches off to the right, leading towards Mihov's home and on to Vršič. We continue along the descending road and after a few minutes it leads us to a parking lot near the dry Pišnica riverbed. There is also drinking water at the parking lot. We continue to the right past the parking lot and then continue along the road, which is closed to public traffic.
The road here first crosses the Suha Pišnica stream and then turns slightly left, leading out of the forest onto the vast grassy slopes of the mountain pasture in Klin, where you will see a secluded hut on the right and the small memorial park of Mali Tamar on the left. The path ahead is completely laid out and then joins the forest road coming from the former Hotel Erika or the bridge over the Velika Pišnica. Continue right here, and you will soon reach a crossroads where a footpath branches off to the right, also leading to the Cottage in Cirque. We continue straight on the dirt road. We then follow the relatively steep forest road all the way to Koča v Krnici, which is reached after about 20 minutes of further walking.
