Access to starting point:
We leave the Gorenjska motorway at the Hrušica exit and follow the road ahead in the direction of Kranjska Gora. We follow this road all the way to the village of Gozd Martuljek, where before the bridge, which crosses the Hladnik stream, we turn right onto a narrow road past the sports field. Immediately after the mentioned sports field, on the left side of the road, there is a smaller parking lot where we park. At the parking lot there are also signs with information about the secured paths Ferata Hvadnik and Ferata Jerm'n.
Route description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the asphalt road, which we leave after a few meters and head left over a small bridge, where a signpost for the ferrata Jerm'n also directs us. We then walk again on the asphalt road through the village, always following the signs for the ferrata Jerm'n. The road starts to ascend slightly and brings us into the forest and soon to a junction where a footpath branches off to the right towards the village Srednji Vrh. We will descend on this path later.
We continue a few tens of meters along the road, then we reach a bridge where, on the right side next to the road, the secured path Ferata Jerm'n begins.
Before entering the secured climbing path, we must equip ourselves with a via ferrata kit and helmet. Climbing gloves are also recommended.
The secured path first ascends along the steel cable and quickly brings us to the first demanding ascent. Here, with the help of pegs, we climb the vertical wall (difficulty D). Since the pegs are somewhat further apart, some arm strength is also needed.
The path then becomes less demanding for a short time, and an easier path leading to the waterfall joins us from the right. Here we continue left and, after a short crossing along the steel cable, reach Jermanov slap.
Below the waterfall, we cross the stream along the steel cable, and the most difficult part of the ascent follows (difficulty up to D/E). We ascend the vertical wall left of the waterfall, aided by a few pegs that are quite far apart. At some points, the wall is also slightly overhanging. A demanding exposed crossing to the right follows, bringing us into the gorge. Here the difficulty eases somewhat, and the path runs through the gorge on the left side of the stream.
The path quickly brings us to another bridge where we cross the stream along the steel cable. The last steep ascent along the steel cable follows, aided again by a few pegs (C/D).
The difficulty then eases, and the path brings us to a vantage point where there is a bench.
From the vantage point, we continue a few more meters along the steel cable, then join the footpath leading from Gozd Martuljek to Srednji Vrh. Here we continue right and descend to the starting point in Gozd Martuljek.
Along the route: Jermanov slap (820m)

There is no D/E section in this via ferrata...Here and there, where due to the gap between brackets you need to step a bit on friction on the wall, it might be shaky D at a few spots, the rest is significantly easier due to the enormous number of brackets...

Info if anyone is interested.
Today 13.5.2023 I was on the via ferrata…although it was rainy, lots of water and slippery, the via ferrata can be climbed without problems…100% concentration is needed and you spend a bit more energy than in dry weather… the via ferrata is excellently secured or I didn't notice any damage. Bravo to the managers.

Hello,
I'm interested if access to the summit is possible also via some easy marked path.
Thank you for the answer.

In the last sentence of the description, everything is nicely written about the path leading from Gozd-Martuljek to Srednji vrh. Just boldly on the way!

Janez thanks for the reply. But I still haven't found a path for the other part of the family. Three of us are going climbing, the fourth member with the dog around. We'll find something else.

In case this mountain path doesn't suit you, you only have the very winding road to P on Srednji vrh left.

Janez thanks again. I would be grateful for directions where this path to Srednji vrh starts, if we are at the paid parking under the via ferrata. Are there any signs, markings nearby... for Srednji vrh? Thanks.

On foot to camp/hotel Špik and along the Sava towards Kranjska Gora, until you join the path coming from the hamlet Log. From there past Frtalež to Smolej and further to Srednji vrh. I think there's no other way, walking along that narrow, blind road is also dangerous among other things. Look at the map attached above, and you'll see how this path goes. Pleasant walk.

Janez and turbo, thanks for the answers. Today we were there, Janez everything was as you wrote. The via ferrata is wonderful. The path to Srednji vrh crosses on the return from the via ferrata. Thanks for everything.
