Access to starting point:
We leave the Gorenjska motorway at the Jesenice - West exit, and then continue driving in the direction of Kranjska Gora. Just a little before the village Dovje, the road which leads towards Mojstrana and the valleys Krma, Kot and Vrata branches off to the left. At the crossroads, we follow the mentioned road in the direction of the Vrata valley, and we drive along it to the parking lot Pri Rosu.
Route description:
At the end of the parking lot there are numerous signs, and the path immediately splits into two parts. We choose the left path (straight Koča pri Peričniku - by road), which crosses the Triglavska Bistrica river over a bridge and then on the other side we continue right and ascend parallel to the mentioned river. After an initial quite gentle walk, the path ascends somewhat steeper and crosses a short exposed slope. A short descent follows, and from the right another path joins, which branches off from the road. We continue the ascent on a gentle and wide path, which barely ascends through the forest. The path, which further on several times gets quite close to the Triglavska Bistrica and from which we occasionally get some views of the peaks rising above the Vrata valley, then turns right and again crosses the Triglavska Bistrica over a small bridge.
On the other side of the bridge the path returns to the road, and we ascend to the Koča pri Peričniku in a few minutes of further walking.
From the Koča pri Peričniku we continue on the road, which continues towards Aljažev dom v Vratih. Immediately after crossing the Peričnik stream over the bridge, we leave the road and continue the ascent right into the forest. We continue on a somewhat steeper mountain path, along which in less than 10 minutes of walking through the forest we arrive at a marked junction, where we continue right in the direction of the lower waterfall (left upper waterfall 5 minutes). Here the path flattens and in a few steps of further walking brings us to the viewpoint on the lower Peričnik waterfall.
The path from the viewpoint onwards is very slippery and in some places also dangerous for slipping.

Is the hut at Peričnik open on weekends?

Peričnik Waterfall shows itself in winter form. Both accesses to the waterfall, by road and by Triglavske Bistrice path, are without problems.

10.4. Mlačce - Kreda - Peričnik... Hiking group Javornik Kor. Bela. We started in Mlačce and continued along the road to Kreda, there's a signpost. The lake is quite small, but interesting. Then we returned to the signposts, crossed the first little bridge at Rosu and continued along the Triglavska Bistrica path towards Peričnik. There's a new little bridge over the water. The waterfall is flowing and nice to look at. Pleasant ramble, the hut was closed.   https://jelenkamenmajdag.blogspot.com/2024/04/mlacca-kreda-pericnik.html
