The Krma Valley - Triglav (via Planika and Triglavska škrbina)

Access to the starting point:
From the parking lot, continue past the ramp and follow the winding forest road, closed to public traffic. The minor road continues for a while over extensive gravel, then turns slightly right, where it enters the forest and turns into a rocky cart track. The path climbs gently through the forest for some time, and then, after crossing a slightly larger torrent, it begins to climb steeply through the dense forest. Higher up, the path leaves the forest into lane of dwarf pines, mixed with scrub, and climbs over the above-mentioned slope on rubble. At an altitude of about 1400 m the path lies down and after a further 10 steps leads to a beautiful grassy plain called Vrtača.
On the other side of the plain, the wide path starts to climb again and after about 20 minutes of further walking leads us to Kranjska Gora, where it turns to the right and leads us to a less conspicuous crossroads. Continue on the well-traced path (left Dovje via Mojstrana), which climbs gently for a while and then leads to a water trough. Next, the path splits into two parts, and we continue straight on the marked path, which leads us over initially grassy, then slightly vegetated slopes to the shepherd's hut at mountain pasture Zgornja Krma.
From the shepherd's hut, continue slightly to the right, along a marked mountain path, which leads us in a few minutes of gentle ascent to a marked crossroads. Continue left in the direction of Planike over Kurica (right Radovna and Staničev dom) along the path, which starts to climb steeper and steeper. After a few minutes' walk from the crossroads, the path leads to a short rock jump, where it climbs even more steeply. After a few minutes, the steepness eases and the path passes to the gentle slopes north of the less visible Cesar (peak near Kurica). The path continues to turn slowly slightly to the left, where it gradually passes to slightly steeper slopes, over which we climb in a slight cross-climb up to Konjski sedlo (Horse saddle).
From the saddle, continue towards Planika (Dovje on the left, Radovna and Staničev dom on the right) along a relatively steep path which climbs steeply westwards. Higher up, the increasingly scenic route leads to an undistinguished ridge, where it turns to the right and transiently lays down a little. The marked path then passes a larger sinkhole on the right and then starts to turn to the left. After about 10 minutes of ascent, the path leads to the Planika lodge below XX19XX.
At the home, take the path in the direction of XX7XX via XX8XX. The trail initially crosses almost horizontally the high mountain cirque XX10XX as it is snow-covered for most of the year. On the other side of cirque, the path climbs on scree to the start of the climbing part of the route. The route climbs steeply with the aid of pegs and pitons. However, the well-protected route is exposed to falling rocks, so a helmet is a must! The last metres below the XX9XX notch are less steep, but no less dangerous. Climbing on shifting sands requires us to be very careful not to slip. At the notch, where the path from Dolič and XX13XX joins, continue right up the steep but well protected path. After a few minutes, the steepness eases and we have only a few minutes to climb up the top slope of Triglav.
Krma - Zgornja Krma 2:30, Zgornja Krma - XX15XX 1:00, XX17XX - Planika 1:00, Planika - Triglav 1:15.

At an altitude of about 1400 m the path lies down and after a further 10 steps leads to a beautiful grassy plain called Vrtača.
On the other side of the plain, the wide path starts to climb again and after about 20 minutes of further walking leads us to Malo polje, where it turns to the right and leads us to a less conspicuous crossroads. Continue on the well-traced path (left Vodnikov dom via Bohinjska vratca), which climbs gently for a while and then leads to a water trough. Next, the path splits into two parts, and we continue straight on the marked path, which leads us over initially grassy, then slightly vegetated slopes to the shepherd's hut at mountain pasture Zgornja Krma.
From the shepherd's hut, continue slightly to the right, along a marked mountain path, which leads us in a few minutes of gentle ascent to a marked crossroads. Continue left in the direction of Planike over Kurica (right Kredarica and Staničev dom) along the path, which starts to climb steeper and steeper. After a few minutes' walk from the crossroads, the path leads to a short rock jump, where it climbs even more steeply. After a few minutes, the steepness eases and the path passes to the gentle slopes north of the less visible Cesar (peak near Kurica).

Climbing on shifting sands requires us to be very careful not to slip. At the notch, where the path from Dolič and Plemenice joins, continue right up the steep but well protected path. After a few minutes, the steepness eases and we have only a few minutes to climb up the top slope of Triglav.
