Gozd Martuljek - The Upper Martuljek waterfall (along the river and via hut)

Access to the starting point:
From Mojstrana drive to Kranjska Gora or vice versa, but only as far as the village of Gozd-Martuljek, where you park in the parking lot near the bridge over the Sava Dolinka river (the parking lot is located behind the bridge, or in front if you are coming from Kranjska Gora).

Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the main road towards Kranjska Gora, but only to the point where the cycle path branches off to the left (there are also mountain signs at the start of the cycle path, which also direct you to the road). Follow the cycle path to the first crossroads, where you continue straight onto the dirt road (the cycle path turns right), which quickly leads you to the next crossroads.
Continue to the right and follow the road closed to traffic until you reach the TNP signpost. Further on, the path splits into two parts. Take the path to the left, which leads to a small bridge crossing the river. Immediately after the little bridge, turn right into the gorge of Martuljških falls. The path ahead is exposed to falling rocks, so it is best to wear helmets. The path ahead climbs up along the river, initially gently, and then begins to climb steeply with the help of steps. The path then crosses a large bridge over the river and on the other side climbs up steps below the cliff. Just a few steps further on, the path leads to another bridge with a beautiful view of the Lower Martuljkov waterfall. After the bridge, the path turns left and climbs under the steep slopes near the waterfall. Continue to the right, following the wet ground almost horizontally. The path ahead climbs steeper and after a short ascent leads to cart track, where you continue to the left. After a few steps, the path leads us to a crossroads where the path to the bivouac under Špik branches off to the right.
Continue along the lower left path, which leads us in a few minutes to the next crossroads. Turn left over the bridge (straight The Upper Martuljek waterfall) and in a few minutes you will reach Ingot's hut at mountain pasture Jesenje.
At the hut, turn right along the less visible path which climbs steeply up mountain pasture. After a five-minute walk from the hut, you will reach a larger chapel located at the edge of the forest. At the chapel, turn right to the river, where you cross the river using a small bridge. On the other side, look for a path which leads you in a few steps to the path leading to Zgornji Martuljkovem waterfall. Turn left and follow the path, which becomes steeper and steeper. The path then crosses a small spring and climbs steeply on the other side. The steepness begins to subside and the path leads to a crossroads where we continue to the left (straight ahead to the Za Akom bivouac). Next, we cross steep slopes in a gentle ascent, which are slightly dangerous to slip on in the wet. Crossing soon leads to a gorge where there is a waterfall. The path initially descends to the water using the fixed safety gear, which is crossed with some minor difficulties. The path then ascends in a few steps to a point from which the waterfall can be seen. Finish the ascent here or climb the sheltered but rather damp path below the waterfall. The ascent to the waterfall is difficult and exposed to falling rocks.
