Dolina Krma - Lipanski vrh

Access to starting point:
a) We exit the Gorenjska motorway at the Hrušica exit and continue on the road in the direction of Kranjska Gora. Just a little before the village of Dovje, a road branches off to the left from the main road, which leads to Mojstrana (Vrata, Kot and Krma). We continue on the road in the direction of the village of Radovna and the valleys Krma and Kot. The relatively steep road then leads us past the TNP sign, after which the road soon levels out and brings us to a crossroads, where a gravel road branches off to the right into the Kot valley. We continue straight on the road, which begins to descend. In the middle of the descent, a road branches off to the right into the Krma valley (straight ahead to Radovna). A little further on we reach the next crossroads, where we continue to the right in the direction of Krma. The gravel road then brings us to the Kovinarska koča, and we follow it further. The occasionally somewhat worse road then brings us to the parking lot before the barrier.
b) We drive to Kranjska Gora, then continue driving in the direction of Jesenice. At Dovje we leave the main road and continue to the right in the direction of Mojstrana and the valleys Vrata, Kot and Krma, and at the following intersections we follow the signs for Krma. The relatively steep road then leads us past the TNP sign, after which the road soon levels out and brings us to a crossroads, where a gravel road branches off to the right into the Kot valley. We continue straight on the road, which begins to descend. In the middle of the descent, a road branches off to the right into the Krma valley (straight ahead to Radovna). A little further on we reach the next crossroads, where we continue to the right in the direction of Krma. The gravel road then brings us to the Kovinarska koča, and we follow it further. The occasionally somewhat worse road then brings us to the parking lot before the barrier.

Route description:
From the parking lot we go back a few dozen steps, then we head right (from the direction of access to the starting point left), towards the east on the path in the direction of Blejska koča na Lipanci. Initially we climb only gently, but already after three minutes of walking the path becomes steep, and a few minutes higher we arrive below the cliffs, where we notice an inscription that the path on which we will continue to climb was built in the year 1952.
The path continues to climb steeply through the forest to a somewhat more challenging passage, where pegs, less steep steps and a steel cable help us. The path then takes us among the dwarf pines and we continue to follow it to a mighty torrent gully. To the gully we first descend a bit, on the other side we climb transversely up the steep slope. Crossing the gully is hindered or even impossible after heavier rainfall, but since the slopes are steep, the water drains quickly. The path ahead then climbs through the forest, still steeply upwards. The path gets closer and closer to the steep slopes and rock faces. When the forest becomes much sparser, the path climbs even steeper and for a short time becomes so steep that we have to help ourselves a little with our hands. This part of the path is especially dangerous for slipping when wet, in dry conditions it does not cause greater danger. The path then takes us below steep rock faces, where there is a great danger of falling rocks, especially in springtime and after rain. We cross below the cliffs almost horizontally, then the path climbs again. Again a steel cable helps us, which takes us to grassy slopes. Further we again cross slopes exposed to falling rocks and soon after that we come to a less steep part of the path. We continue climbing on an increasingly scenic path mostly among dwarf pines and sparse forest to a junction, where we turn right towards Mrežc and Lipanski vrh (left Lipanska vrata, Brda and Debela peč).
The path ahead in a gentle ascent crosses scree fields below the cliffs of the Kredarica peak (1943 m) and after a few minutes brings us to the ridge, where we are again at a junction, namely at the saddle northeast of Lipanski vrh.
We again continue to the right (left Kredarica and Lipanska vrata), and continue walking along the ridge, where we notice the marking for Lipanski vrh. The path then mostly climbs among dwarf pines on the increasingly steep summit slope of Lipanski vrh, which we reach without major difficulties.

Starting point - junction below Lipanska vrata 2:25, junction below Lipanska vrata - saddle below Lipanski vrh 0:10, saddle below Lipanski vrh - Lipanski vrh 0:15.
