Kosmačev preval - Požgana Mlinarica

Access to starting point:
We leave the Gorenjska highway at the Jesenice - west (Hrušica) exit and continue driving in the direction of Kranjska Gora. A little before the settlement Dovje, we leave the main road and continue driving left in the direction of Mojstrana and valleys Vrata, Kot and Krma. Still before we cross Triglavska Bistrica, signs for Radovna, Kot and Krma point us to the left onto a somewhat narrower road which ascends past a few houses. The road above the settlement Mojstrana starts ascending more steeply and past the TNP sign brings us to Kosmačev preval, where the road branches off to the right into valley Kot. Here we park at an appropriate place by the crossroad.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we go on a cart track which in a gentle ascent runs parallel with the road. At the beginning we continue on the right cart track, and after two minutes of walking another cart track branches off to the left and we go on it. At the crossings are also placed cairns, which help us with orientation. Further, the cart track ascends on a slope straight upwards and later turns into a footpath which starts ascending steeply. The path is poorly visible, but we get help from smaller cairns. The path then turns a little right and brings us on an indistinct small ridge. Here the path turns left and then follows this small ridge straight upwards. The path soon from the ridge brings us on steep slopes and ascends in zigzags to the main ridge. Here the path once again turns left and continues ascending through the forest. For a short time the ascent becomes less steep but the path soon again steeply ascends. The last part of the path towards the bivouac runs mostly on slopes above the valley Vrata or on the ridge. The path then flattens and on the right side we notice a smaller cottage. This is bivouac on Črna gora.
From the bivouac, we continue on the ridge and at first, we slightly descend. Further, we then for a long time walk on the ridge through the forest and we several times ascend and descend a little. In doing so we also ascend on some less known peaks, namely on Predelov vrh, Nizka dolina and then also on Lengarjeva glava, where there is also a viewpoint, from which for the first time a view opens up towards the east. Because before that we were all the time walking through the forest and therefore the view was very limited.
From Lengarjeva glava we continue still on the ridge and out of the forest, the path brings us into dwarf pines, where wonderful views open up on all sides. Further follows a few more short ascents and descents through dwarf pines, and the ridge is on some spots a little steeper. Follows an ascent through a short stretch of forest and then also a short ascent through dwarf pines, which brings us on a panoramic peak Požar.
From the top on which stands a large cairn we continue on the ridge and then on the path through the forest we soon come to a junction, where from the left joins a hunting path from the valley Kot.
The path continues to run on a steep and relatively narrow forest-covered ridge (in wet danger of slipping). To here not very demanding path then brings us on the forepeak Rušnata Mlinarica, where less experienced can also end the trip (peak is recognizable by a big cairn).
We continue on the ridge, which is more and more overgrown with dwarf pines, but passages are nice because dwarf pines are cut. A little further, the path brings us to a shorter steep step (at torn steel cable), where we have to ascend with the help of dwarf pines 5 meters steeply upwards. The path which runs on a relatively steep slope and occasionally narrow ridge then over numerous forepeaks and gullies brings us on unvegetated and panoramic peak Rušnata Mlinarica.
From Rušnata Mlinarica we still continue on narrow and in some parts exposed ridge. Difficulty further does not decrease and on the path follows a few more steep ascents and exposed traverses. We mostly avoid difficulties on the left side of the ridge. Such a path leads us all the way to panoramic summit Požgana Mlinarica.
