Access to the starting point:
From the motorway Ljubljana - Tunnel Karawanks, take the last exit Hrušica and turn right towards Jesenice. After a 100 m drive, you will come to a junction where you turn left uphill through a right-hand bend. At the top of the hill, there is again a crossroads, where you also take the left turn (there is also a signpost for Dobršnik). After a further 200 m of driving, you will see a bus station on the right, and just after it, a road which branches off to the right towards the apartment blocks. Park in a suitable place nearby.
Path description:
From the parking lot (e. g. on the right near the apartment block), follow the road straight uphill through the right-hand bend. Just at the top of the bend, you will see a road going to the left between the houses (a street). Take it in this direction and after 100 m (end of the street), turn left downhill, almost to the stream. Do not cross it, but at the last house on the right, take the cart track, which leads into the wods (it loks like a private path).
In the forest, at the crossroads, keep to the bottom-left path, which leads along a stream. After a few minutes' walk, the path crosses the stream and, despite its ruined state, within 20 minutes from the starting point you reach the first 3-step, 9-metre-high waterfall, which slopes down the rocks at a slight angle.
On the left you can now see the path rising in two small bends towards the rocks. Take this path and, after a few steps, grab hold of the rock next to it to climb to the top of the path, which leads to another 10 metre waterfall. Next to it, on the left-hand wall, you will see the remains of the fixed safety gear, and fotprints carved into the rock (don't try to climb - wet rocks!).
We return to the first waterfall, but before approaching it, we turn right into a steep ravine or leaf-covered scree - or avalanche - which rises more and more vertically. There is no marked route here, so it is best to keep a sharp lookout for signs of our predecessors. To the left, slightly away from the landslide, the going is a little easier, so we prefer to continue there. We will continue to climb the slope carefully for some time, avoiding the damp tree rots, and then we will see a fallen beech trunk a little above the "avalanche". It will now be easier to cross the slope to the right towards the edge of the Dobršnik stream canyon, which winds deep below us. Here on the edge, carefully choose a vantage point (+/- a few metres). The waterfall will be visible slightly above our horizon in a northerly direction. Descending will require some care.

Bolj podroben opis slapov in geološki poudarki so v knjigi Antona Ramovša: Slapovi v Sloveniji (Slovenska matica, 1983)
Kako je šlo od drugega slapa naprej:
Tukaj se ogledovanje za večino obiskovalcev konča - od nekdanje opreme so ostali samo klini brez žične vrvi. Plezanje nad drugi slap, od koder že od njegovega ustja vidimo tretjega (8m) in četrtega (11m), sicer ni pretežko (II, če so skale suhe), a je skoraj nujna vrv. //misliti je treba tudi na vrnitev - lažje gre s spustom ob vrvi// Če ni preveč vode, se da po strugi verjetno priti bližje k tretjemu slapu. Tudi mesto, od koder bi se bolje videl četrti slap, bi se menda našlo (midva sva imela spomladansko visoko vodo). Naprej pa ni videti prehoda, tudi kakšnih ostankov nekdanje poti ne.
Obisk ostalih slapov je čisto brezpotje, razen morda od sedmega do poti, kjer z veliko fantazije najdemo nekaj okljukov. Strmina je kar precejšnja, drevesa večinoma redka, tako da zelo prav pride cepin. Vsekakor pa naj bi se tega raziskovanja lotili le zares vajeni brezpotniki z opremo. Opis in skica sta samo približna !!!
Pod prvim slapom prečimo strugo in se vzpnemo po vzhodnem bregu (nekako med novim podorom in gladko drčo) do roba. Tu gremo še nekaj časa po gozdu navzgor, potem pa se spustimo v sotesko (mesto je težko točno opisati - ko se pobočje v levo nekoliko odpre, cepin?!). Tako pridemo do petega slapa (7m), takoj nad njim pa je šesti (22m) (okrog 800m). //Od tu bi se verjetno dalo sestopiti po strugi k ustju četrtega slapa - ob najinem spomladanskem obisku je bilo preveč vode.//
Ko se vračamo navzgor, ne gremo do konca po smeri sestopa, ampak na primernem mestu (pokaže teren) zavijemo bolj levo (tu se morda opazi kakšen okljuk stare steze). Spet se spustimo v grapo in tako dosežemo še sedmi slap (9m) (okrog 840m). Izhod je kar naravnost navzgor - višje naletimo na skoraj neopazno (zasuto) stezo. Tam nekje pa končno stopimo na pravo, varno pot (okrog 900m), ki s Hrušice čez Češnjevec pelje na Rogarjev rovt. Če pri sestopu na višini 820m izberemo bližnjico, se vrnemo točno na izhodišče.

Imam tudi fotografije vseh sedmih slapov in zemljevid, a jih ne znam dodati opisu.

Še ena pot oz.stezica je v sotesko Dobršnik,odcep je nekje na polovici poti iz Hrušice proti Rogarjevem rovtu,pri Tončkovem stolpu(miniaturen Aljažev stolp ob poti) je tudi tabla na drevesu. Od odcepa do grape je manj kot 5minut. Stezica je 'markirana' s pikami na drevesih,tam kjer je strmo pobočje je tudi zajla za oprijem. V tem delu grape smo že nad slapovi,je pa vseeno lepo za raziskovati,je dosti tolmunov,malih slapov..skratka divjina
