The Krma Valley - Dom Planika

Access to the starting point:
Leave the Gorenjska motorway at the Hrušica exit and follow the road towards Kranjska Gora. Just before the village of Dovje, the road branches off to the left and leads to Mojstrana (Vrata, Kot and Krma). Follow the road in the direction of the village of Radovna and the valleys of Krma and Kot. The relatively steep road then takes us past the TNP signboard, after which the road soon lays down and leads us to a crossroads where the macadam road to the valley of Kot branches off to the right. Continue straight ahead on the road, which begins to descend. In the middle of the descent, the road to the Krma valley branches off to the right (straight ahead Radovna). A little further on, you come to the next crossroads, where you continue to the right in the direction of Krma. The macadam road then leads to Kovinarska hut, and we follow it further. Occasionally, a slightly worse road then leads us to the parking lot in front of the gate.

Path description:
From the parking lot, continue past the ramp and follow the winding forest road, closed to public traffic. The minor road continues for a while over extensive gravel, then turns slightly right, where it enters the forest and turns into a rocky cart track. The path climbs gently through the forest for some time, and then, after crossing a slightly larger torrent, it begins to climb steeply through the dense forest. Higher up, the path leaves the forest into lane of dwarf pines, mixed with scrub, and climbs over the above-mentioned slope on rubble. At an altitude of about 1400 m the path lies down and after a further 10 steps leads to a beautiful grassy plain called Vrtača.
On the other side of the plain, the wide path starts to climb again and after about 20 minutes of further walking leads us to Malo polje, where it turns to the right and leads us to a less conspicuous crossroads. Continue on the well-traced path (left Vodnikov dom via Bohinjska vratca), which climbs gently for a while and then leads to a water trough. Next, the path splits into two parts, and we continue straight on the marked path, which leads us over initially grassy, then slightly vegetated slopes to the shepherd's hut at mountain pasture Zgornja Krma.
From the shepherd's hut, continue slightly to the right, along a marked mountain path, which leads us in a few minutes of gentle ascent to a marked crossroads. Continue left in the direction of Planike over Kurica (right Kredarica and Staničev dom) along the path, which starts to climb steeper and steeper. After a few minutes' walk from the crossroads, the path leads to a short rock jump, where it climbs even more steeply. After a few minutes, the steepness eases and the path passes to the gentle slopes north of the less visible Cesar (peak near Kurica). The path continues to turn slowly slightly to the left, where it gradually passes to slightly steeper slopes, over which we climb in a slight cross-climb up to Konjski sedlo (Horse saddle).
From the saddle, continue towards Planika (Vodnikov dom on the left, Kredarica and Staničev dom on the right) along a relatively steep path which climbs steeply westwards. Higher up, the increasingly scenic route leads to an undistinguished ridge, where it turns to the right and transiently lays down a little. The marked path then passes a larger sinkhole on the right and then starts to turn to the left. After about 10 minutes of ascent, the path leads to the Planika lodge under Triglav. Krma - Zgornja Krma 2:30, Zgornja Krma - Konjsko sedlo 1:00, Konjsko sedlo - Planika 1:00.
