Gozd Martuljek - Široka peč

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. We continue in the direction of Ingot's hut. The way forward leads us to a crossroads, where we continue straight on, the path to the left leads to Ingot's hut to which is a two-minute walk.

The way forward is initially a steep climb but only for a while. The path then crosses a small well and climbs steeply on the other side. The steepness begins to give way to the path leads us to a crossroads, where we continue slightly to the right in the direction of the bivouac Za Akom (left Zgornji waterfall 10 minutes). The way forward is still some time steeply climbs, and then the path leads us to a more difficult part. First we cross a steep grassy slope with the help of a rope, and then, still with the help of fixed safety gear, we cross an exposed shelf (watch your head, slightly overhanging rock above us). The path continues to be guarded (the guards here are mainly due to the wet terrain), and then starts to climb steeply and, after a few minutes of further walking, leads us to the most difficult part. With the help of artificial steps and a rope, we cross a smooth and damp rock slab, and then cross a short, very steep wall, which is also well guarded (great care is needed because of the damp slope). The steepness of the slopes then eases and after a short climb, the still damp path leads us to the edge of the mighty gravels. We are at the junction of two ravines, we continue on the left, and the view of the mighty Široka peč begins to open up in front of us. At the end the gully splits into several parts, we continue along the right gully to the first smooth wedged boulder (8m III. ), which we climb on the left (if the left side is wet, we have no choice but to climb it in the middle, which increases the difficulty!), we climb up the gully, the route is indicated by cairns. We are already in front of a smooth jump(15m II. ), which we start climbing on the left (beam, wedge for belaying), to a small flattening. Now it's a scrambly, broken climb (15m, II. ) to a green jetty, where you can rest for a while.
Continue straight ahead towards the V pillar Široka peč, to the rock barrier. We retreat to the right of the barrier, with a few metres to go to the first key point of the climb. We are in front of a 30m rock jump that closes the passage to the amphitheatre. The jump is divided into two parts, the first part is easy and can be climbed without belaying, in the second part belaying is compulsory (III+), there are enough pegs and there is also an anchorage. From the anchorage we head on towards easier rock ledges, which we climb from right to left (50m I. ) and we find ourselves in the Amphitheatre. Continue towards the cirque buttress, to a prominent ridge (100m I. -II. ) in the SP building. Climb the ridge to a notch, then descend by rope (anchorages are equipped, as is the descent into the notch). From the notch, continue along a reddish gully (crumbly, slippery), to the ridge crest (100m I. -II. ). A metre before the ridge, turn right and cross the smooth slabs (I. ) to the next notch. There is a second key spot: cross to the right, on an exposed ledge(I. -II. )(for a detour, you can descend from the notch to the gully and continue to the ridge, but the gully is steep and difficult). Now we are only a stretch of climbing away on a broken and scattered world to the main summit of Široka Peć.

The climb from Gozd Martuljka to Široka peč is considered an alpinist climb, so make sure you go with someone who has been to the summit before, preferably a mountain guide.
The Broad Stove is well equipped
