Gozd Martuljek - Upper Martuljek waterfall (cart track)

Access to starting point:
From Mojstrana we drive towards Kranjska Gora or vice versa, but only to the village Gozd Martuljek, where we park on a parking lot near the bridge over the river Sava Dolinka (parking lot is located after the bridge, or before, if we come from Kranjska Gora).

Route description:
From the parking lot, we continue by the main road towards Kranjska Gora, but only to a spot where the cycling road branches off to the left (by the beginning of the cycling path there are also signposts, which point us on the mentioned road). We follow the cycling road to the first crossroad, where we continue straight on a macadam road (cycling road turns right), which quickly brings us to the next crossroad.
We continue right and follow the road closed to traffic to the TNP sign. Further, the path splits into two parts. We continue straight upwards on a steep cart track which ascends on the right side of the Martuljška soteska gorge. The cart track, which mostly ascends through the forest, brings us after 15 minutes to a nice vantage point, where a view opens up to the valley. The path then goes again into the forest and continues to ascend. A little further, the path from the waterfall joins from the left, and a little further, the path to the bivouac pod Špikom branches off to the right. We continue in the direction of Ingotova koča. The path ahead brings us to a junction, where we continue straight, the path to the left leads to Ingotova koča, which is a two-minute walk away.
The path ahead ascends gently at first but only for a short time. The path then crosses a small spring and steeply ascends on the other side. The steepness starts to ease and the path brings us to a junction, where we continue left (straight to bivouac Za Akom). Further, in a gentle ascent we cross steep slopes which are slightly dangerous for slipping when wet. The crossing soon brings us to the gorge, where the waterfall is. The path first descends to the water with the help of fixed safety gear, which we cross with some minor difficulties. The path ahead ascends in a few steps to the point from which the waterfall is clearly visible. Here we end the ascent or ascend along the secured but quite wet path below the waterfall. The ascent to the waterfall is difficult and exposed to falling stones.

We recommend: trips from the same starting point, similar trips
