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 and the path leads us to a crossroads, where we continue to the left (straight to the bivouac Za Akom). Next, in a steep ascent, we cross the steep slopes, which are slightly dangerous to slip in the wet. Crossing soon leads to a gorge where there is a waterfall. The path initially descends to the water using the fixed safety gear, which is crossed with some minor difficulties. The path then ascends in a few steps to a point from which the waterfall is clearly visible. Finish the ascent here or climb the sheltered but rather damp path below the waterfall. The ascent to the waterfall is difficult and exposed to falling rocks.

Vzpodbno, da so vzdrževalci poti popravili dele poti do Martuljških slapov!
