Gozd Martuljek - Kurji vrh

Access to the starting point:
From Mojstrana drive to Kranjska Gora or vice versa, but only as far as the village of Gozd-Martuljek, where you park in the parking lot near the bridge over the Sava Dolinka river (the parking lot is located behind the bridge, or in front if you are coming from Kranjska Gora).

Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the main road towards Kranjska Gora, but only to the point where the cycle path branches off to the left (there are also mountain signs at the start of the cycle path, which also direct you to the road). Follow the cycle path to the first crossroads, where you continue straight onto the dirt road (the cycle path turns right), which quickly leads you to the next crossroads.
Continue to the right and follow the road closed to traffic until you reach the TNP signpost. Further on, the path splits into two parts. Continue straight up the steep cart track, which climbs up the right-hand side of the Martuljška gorge. The cart track, which climbs mostly through the forest, leads us after 15 minutes to a beautiful viewpoint where a view of the valley opens up. The path then goes back into the forest and continues to climb. A little further on, the path from the waterfall joins us from the left, and a little further on, the path to the bivouac under Špikom branches off to the right.
Take this path, which initially climbs steeply along cart track. The wide path we are climbing then leads us past a rock with the inscription "pod Špik". Just 5 minutes after this rock, we leave the marked path leading to the bivouac under Špik. At the point where we see some small cairns, an unmarked cart track branches off to the right, which descends slightly and crosses a small well. Cart track, which then starts to climb, soon has two successive forks. In both cases, continue straight ahead and follow it a little higher to the next crossroads, where you continue up to the left (you will see an unofficial marking on a tree and an arrow to the left). Continue up the unmarked and wide path, which takes you higher up to the next orientation lop. At the point where the path approaches the wide cart track, we again see unofficial markings, which direct us up a steep forest path to the left (forward orientation is much easier). After 15 minutes, the steepness of the slope is slightly reduced and the path leads us out of the forest to the edge of a torrential ravine, along which we then climb. A little higher up, the path turns right and leads us into the forest again, where after a short descent we reach a pleasant little spring, which we cross just a few metres below the source. The path then begins to climb steeply again, and the forest is soon replaced by dwarf pines. The increasingly scenic route leads us higher up between two boulders, where there is a small crossroads (on the right boulder marked PP, route Planica - Pokljuka). Continue right along the lower path (left Rušica and Rigljica, possibly also Kurji vrh but the upper part of the path is quite overgrown with dwarf pines), which crosses the slopes of Kurje Peak. The moderately ascending path crosses some steep grassy slopes which are slippery in wet conditions, but in dry conditions the ascent is not dangerous. When the path passes from the western to the northern slopes, it reaches a crossroads, where it continues along the upper left path, which begins to climb steeply along the edge of short cliffs. Follow this steep path, where the steepness in the last part of the slope becomes a little bit steeper, to Kurje Peak.
The entry box is at the summit, as the summit is overgrown with dwarf pines and therefore difficult to reach.

We can extend the trip to the following destinations: Rigljica (2 h)

We recommend: trips from the same starting point, similar trips, panorama, Inscription book
