Srednji Vrh - Vošca (via Zajčnik)

Access to starting point:
From the Ljubljana–Jesenice motorway, take the Jesenice–west (Hrušica) exit and continue driving towards Kranjska Gora. When we arrive in Gozd-Martuljek, turn right towards Srednji Vrh and drive up the narrow and steep road to the mentioned place. When the road flattens a little, we will arrive at an intersection of several roads and a turning area. Park here in a suitable space at the intersection.

Route description:
From the intersection, continue along the left ascending road, beside which we notice signs for "Trupijevo poldne". For some time continue along the mentioned road, then the next sign for the same peak directs us right onto an ascending grassy cart track. The cart track soon turns sharply right and ascends diagonally for a short time, then brings us to an unmarked junction, where we continue along the lower right cart track, which after a few minutes of traversing comes very close to the Jerman stream. Further on, we ascend moderately beside the stream, and the cart track we are walking on crosses the mentioned stream several times over a bridge. Higher up, the path leads past some abandoned huts on Hudih hlevi, then flattens and brings us in a few minutes of further walking to a wider forest road (area named Železnica).
When we step onto the road, we follow it to the left and follow it in a gentle ascent to the first intersection. Here we continue sharply right, where in a few minutes of further walking we step out of the forest onto the lower southern edge of Blekova planina. The road continues along the right edge of the mountain pasture, then, when it turns left, we leave it and continue the path along the edge of the forest across increasingly panoramic slopes. In less than 5 minutes of walking from the place where we left the road, we arrive at the wooden Austrian hut (Blekova Hütte).
From the hut, we walk across the mountain pasture somewhat to the west, where we soon arrive at a sign marking the state border. We continue along the initially indistinct border ridge on a path that soon enters the forest. We continue the ascent along an easy-to-follow path marked further on with Austrian blazes, which ascends along and beside the state border. Higher up, the path turns slightly left and ascends more steeply for a short time. After a few minutes of ascent, the path flattens and brings us to the edge of the forest. Here the Austrian blazes turn right downhill, but we continue another ten or so steps and the fairly gentle path quickly brings us to the summit of Zajčnik.
From the summit of Zajčnik, continue slightly right and begin steeply descending along the ridge path. The path soon flattens, then brings us in a gentle ascent to the ridge of Javornik, from which a fine view opens up. Continue along the border ridge and begin descending somewhat to the right. Lower down, cross a wire fence, then step onto a cart track along which we walk in a few minutes to the Vratca saddle. Here continue straight ahead and follow the ascending path, which climbs in a few zigzags to the eastern forepeak of Vošca. Only a short descent follows, then an ascent to the panoramic Vošca.
We can descend along a well-trodden unmarked path that descends towards Srednji Vrh.
