Dolina Krma - Rjavina (ridge path)

Access to the starting point:
Leave the Gorenjska motorway at the Hrušica exit and follow the road towards Kranjska Gora. Just before the village of Dovje, the road branches off to the left and leads to Mojstrana (Vrata, Kot and Krma). Follow the road in the direction of the village of Radovna and the valleys of Krma and Kot. The relatively steep road then takes us past the TNP signboard, after which the road soon lays down and leads us to a crossroads where the macadam road to the valley of Kot branches off to the right. Continue straight ahead on the road, which begins to descend. In the middle of the descent, the road to the Krma valley branches off to the right (straight ahead Radovna). A little further on, you come to the next crossroads, where you continue to the right in the direction of Krma. The macadam road then leads to Kovinarska hut, and we follow it further. Occasionally, a slightly worse road then leads us to the parking lot in front of the gate.

Path description:
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 walk of a few 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 right in the direction of Kredarica and Stanič's home (to the left Planika and Konjsko sedlo ) along the gently sloping cross path, which, with beautiful views, leads us in a few minutes to the next crossroads.
Continue straight ahead (left Kredarica) almost horizontally along a path that crosses a belt of sparse larch forest. The path then leaves the woods onto the viewing slopes and turns slightly to the left. Continue climbing moderately up the slopes between Pungrt and Limestone. Higher up, the path enters the rocky world of the western slopes of Rjavina and turns sharp left below Dovška vratca. Continue gently up the slopes towards Rž (a mountain with a natural window, which is clearly visible from the path), where the path from Konjski sedlo joins from the left. Continue to the right and the path quickly leads to the next crossroads, where the path to Rjavina branches off to the right and straight down towards Stanič's home. Continue in the direction of Rjavina along the path, which then descends slightly and leads to the nondescript saddle of Dovška vratca. From here on the path begins to climb steeply up the western slopes of the Rjavina. With the help of some fixed safety gear, the path leads us to the ridge of Rjavina. There follows a scenic walk along the ridge to the western summit, then the path descends slightly and we are joined on the left by a climbing route from the Kot valley. We continue straight ahead and the increasingly scenic route leads us to a vertical chimney, which descends for about 30 m (protected only by rungs and crampons). The path, which becomes easier, then leads us past two natural windows to a scenic summit in a few minutes.
