Access to the starting point:
Due to the collapse, access to the described starting point is not possible until further notice (May 2018).
From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice take the exit Jesenice - West and then continue along the regional road towards Kranjska Gora. Follow the road to Belca and continue for a few 100 m, then you will see the beginning of a forest road on your right, leading into the Belka valley. Continue along the initially still wide, then narrower and sometimes quite precipitous forest road. Follow the picturesque road through the tunnel to a marked parking area by a small bridge at the confluence of the Suhego Grabno and Beli potok.
If you continue over the bridge, which has a green ramp behind it, you may find that it is locked when you leave.
Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the road, which immediately crosses a bridge, followed by a green ramp. The road soon starts to climb steeply along the picturesque stream Suhi graben. Higher up, we climb over a beautiful waterfall, and the road leads us a little further to a crossroads where we continue along the road on the left (Kepa on the right).
The road continues to climb moderately, and we follow the "main" road at all junctions. A little higher up, the road leads past a forestry hut and a little higher still, past a water trough. The road, which has a few more small crossroads, continues to follow the 'main' road, which leads us around the last sharp right turn to a small crossroads at which there is usually a small cairn. Here, the path to Mojstrovica over the Bashin bank branches off to the left. Take the aforementioned cart track, which climbs steeply through a spruce forest. A little higher up, the forest thins out to give a fine view of Kepa, and the cart track then leads to a small crossroads. Continue on the left (possibly also on the right), which descends slightly higher and turns into steep slopes. When the cart track starts to climb again, leave it and continue to the right where, after a climb of some 10 m, you enter the vast grazing areas of mountain pasture Bavhe.
The direction of ascent is clear ahead. Continue straight up the grassy slope, and the "path" leads us higher up to a small lake (watering place for animals), at which point we also step onto a well-trodden path.
Follow the path to the left and it climbs crosswise over the grazing slopes. A little higher, enter the forest, where the path is laid, and after a few minutes of further walking, arrive at a small crossroads, where the path from the top of Mojstrovice joins from the right. Continue straight ahead, where you emerge from the forest onto a gentle grassy slope. Climb some 10 m, then on the right side you will see a wide path that turns to the right and crosses relatively steep slopes. After crossing this part of the path, it turns to the left and leads us onwards across a view of a moderately steep grassy slope. The path then passes into a lane of sparse forest surrounded by dwarf pines. There is a short crossing, and then the path climbs steeply and quickly leads to the summit. In fog, orientation in the upper part is relatively difficult.

Samo en popravek na opis, pri 28 sliki je bolje iti naravnost navzgor, kjer nas kolovoz dostavi v sam SV kot planine, kjer se nadaljuje pot prek travnika.
