The Krma Valley - Triglav (via Kredarica)

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 village of Radovna and the valleys of Krma and Kot. The relatively steep road then takes us past the TNP signboard, after which the road soon lays down and leads us to a crossroads where the macadam road to the valley of Kot branches off to the right. Continue straight ahead on the road, which begins to descend. In the middle of the descent, the road to the Krma valley branches off to the right (straight ahead Radovna). A little further on, you come to the next crossroads, where you continue to the right in the direction of Krma. The macadam road then leads to Kovinarska hut, and we follow it further. Occasionally, a slightly worse road then leads us to the parking lot in front of the gate.

Path description:
From the parking lot, continue past the ramp and follow the winding forest road, closed to public traffic. The minor road continues for a while over extensive gravel, then turns slightly right, where it enters the forest and turns into a rocky cart track. The path climbs gently through the forest for some time, and then, after crossing a slightly larger torrent, it begins to climb steeply through the dense forest. Higher up, the path leaves the forest into lane of dwarf pines, mixed with scrub, and climbs over the above-mentioned slope on rubble. At an altitude of about 1400 m the path lies down and after a further walk of a few 10 steps leads to a beautiful grassy plain called Vrtača.
On the other side of the plain, the wide path starts to climb again and after about 20 minutes of further walking leads us to Malo polje, where it turns to the right and leads us to a less conspicuous crossroads. Continue on the well-traced path (left Vodnikov dom via Bohinjska vratca), which climbs gently for a while and then leads to a water trough. Next, the path splits into two parts, and we continue straight on the marked path, which leads us over initially grassy, then slightly vegetated slopes to the shepherd's hut at mountain pasture Zgornja Krma.
From the shepherd's hut, continue slightly to the right, along a marked mountain path, which leads us in a few minutes of gentle ascent to a marked crossroads. Continue right in the direction of Kredarica and Stanič's home (to the left Planika and Konjsko sedlo ) along the gently sloping cross path, which, with beautiful views, leads us in a few minutes to the next crossroads.
This time continue slightly left in the direction of Triglav (straight Staničev dom) along a path that gradually starts to climb steeper and steeper. After a few minutes of further walking, the path turns left and starts to climb steeply over a grassy slope. At the top of the slope, the path curves slightly to the left and gradually turns into a small valley, which is sometimes quite open. The path continues to gradually lay down and leads us into a flatter world surrounded by dwarf pines, where we come to a small unmarked crossroads. Continue right (left Konjsko sedlo on the unmarked path) along the marked path, which climbs gently up the increasingly rocky slope for some time. A little further on we reach a crossroads of several paths, and we carefully follow the markings for Kredarica (left Vodnikov dom, right Staničev dom). Further on, the path begins to climb steeply below the slopes of Vrh Snežne konte (the area called Kalvarija). The increasingly rubbly path slowly turns to the left and then joins the path from Konjski sedlo at the end of the climb over Kalvarija.
Continue in the direction of Kredarica, along a moderately steep path, which leads us just a few steps further to the next marked crossroads. Continue to the right (left Planika) along a moderately steep path, which in a few minutes of further walking leads us to an undistinguished ridge connecting Vrh Snežne konte with Kredarica. Here the trail turns slightly to the left and begins to climb steeply towards the Triglav Home on Kredarica. After about 15 minutes of steep ascent, the path lays down and you see the highest mountain hut in Slovenia, which is reached after a further 10 steps of walking.
From Triglavski dom, continue in the direction of Triglav along the path, which begins to descend moderately towards the pass between Kredarica and Mali Triglav. Here, the path from the Vrata valley joins us from the right, and we continue straight ahead on the increasingly steep path, which begins to climb over the broken rocks. After a few minutes of steep climbing along the Green Snow, we reach the start of the climbing section. At a large marking visible from a distance, you will see a sign warning you that you will continue your ascent on a very difficult protected mountain path. The path climbs steeper on the rock, then crosses to the left with the help of a rope, where you reach a technically very difficult place. The way forward climbs crosswise on an exposed ledge, which is protected only by wedges. Next, a very steep and well protected path leads us to the ridge of the Mali Triglav, where we are joined on the left by a slightly easier path from Planika.
Continue straight along the ridge path, which leads us in a few 10 steps of further walking to the top of Mali Triglav. From Mali Triglav, from where we have a nice view of the summit and most of the trail ahead, the trail descends slightly, then leads us to an unmarked saddle between the two peaks. The path ahead begins to climb again, along a well-protected ridge path. This very scenic and, in some parts, very steep path is then followed all the way to the top of Triglav.
