The Krma Valley - Visoka Vrbanova špica

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 along the road past the gate to the extensive gravel deposits. A few minutes of easy walking on the gravel follows to a marked but sometimes harder to see crossroads. The footpath continues straight ahead, but signs point us right across the stream into the wods, where the path begins to climb gently. Only after about 40 minutes of walking does the path become steeper, but not to steep. At 1300m, the moderately steep path leads us out of the forest between dwarf pines. Here we start to get beautiful views of the nearby walls of the peaks above the Krma. The climb does not take long, however, as the path soon drops by a few metres and leads us to the beautiful mountain Vrtača. The walk across the beautiful grassy plain is very pleasant and scenic. On the other side, the path starts climbing again, this time through a rare forest. This climb does not last long either, and is interrupted by the Malo polje plain, where the path turns to the right. A moderately steep climb follows past a water trough to mountain pasture Zgornja Krma, where a shepherd's hut stands.
Just a few minutes above mountain pasture, the path leads to a crossroads at a small well. Continue to the right in the direction of Kredarica and Stanič's home (Planika on the left). After a few minutes of further walking, the gently sloping path leads us to the next crossroads, where we continue straight on in the direction of Stanič's home (left Kredarica). Continue almost horizontally along the path, which crosses a belt of sparse larch forest. The path then leaves the forest onto the viewing slopes and turns slightly to the left. Continue climbing moderately up the slopes between Pungrt and Apnenica. Higher up, the path enters the rocky world of the western slopes of Rjavina and turns sharp left below Dovška vratca. Continue gently up the slopes towards Rži (a mountain with a natural window, which is clearly visible from the path), where the path from Konjski sedlo joins from the left. Continue to the right and the path quickly leads to the next crossroads, where the path to Rjavina branches off to the right. Continue straight ahead (direction Staničev dom) along the path, which starts to descend and leads us in a few minutes to the mountain home of Valentin Stanič.
From the hut, continue straight in the direction of Begunjski vrh, Visoka Vrbanova špica and Cmira. After a few minutes of further walking, the rather gently sloping path leads us to the Begunjski Preval, where the path to Vrbanove špice branches off to the right. The increasingly scenic and relatively easy path then leads us in a few minutes to the top of the High Vrbanove Špice. Krma - Zgornja Krma 2:30, Zgornja Krma - Staničev dom 2:45, Staničev dom - Visoka Vrbanova špica 20 minutes.
