Access to the starting point:
First drive to Kranjska Gora, then follow the signs for the Kranjska Gora ski resort. Park in the large parking lot at the foot of the Kranjska Gora ski slopes.
Path description:
From the parking lot, continue in the route Ciprnik, first on metal stairs and past the ticket booth. At the ticket office you will also see signs for Bedančev dom, which is a 45-minute climb. There is another climb up metal steps, and then we reach the bottom station of the quad chair lift Vitranc I, and we continue slightly to the right of the lift, along a dirt road that starts to climb by the ski slope (in summer, the Besna Pehta summer toboggan run). The road continues to climb, but at a higher altitude it can be left, as cart track continues slightly to the left, next to the summer toboggan run, which returns to the road at a higher altitude. When we return to the road, we are still 10 minutes away from a cautious walk (cautious because a cyclist may come opposite us, as they have their own track here) and we have already reached the top station of the Vitranc I four-seater and a few 10 steps further on to the Bedanča home.
Just above Bedančev dom we see the following yellow tourist signs, and we follow them in the direction of Vitranc and Ciprnik, i. e. further along the road. The road then climbs in a few bends and then leads to a part of the Kranj Mountains ski slopes above Podkoren, where we climb to the left of the top station of the Podkoren four-seater. Above the above mentioned station of the four-seater, the ski slopes end, and the path then climbs for some time along the former ski slope leading from Vitranc (the ski slope was never groomed, as the slope was too steep for the snow trampler. As there were many accidents, including fatal ones, the ski slope was closed and the lift continued to operate, but it was forbidden to go on it with skis), then it enters the forest, through which it starts to climb steeply. A rope helps us at a few slippery spots, and we cross the former ski slope, which is already quite overgrown, once more higher up, and then climb through the lane of the forest to the ridge Vitranc, where we continue to the left to the Mojca's house, some 10 steps away from the ski slope.
