The Krma Valley - Vodnikov dom

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 area in front of the barrier.

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 woods, where the path begins to climb gently. Only after about 40 minutes of walking does the path become steeper, but not too 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 trail crosses.
Continue left towards Vodnikov dom (Planika and Kredarica on the right) along the path, which quickly begins to climb, first through a larch forest and then up through scree. The scree path becomes steeper and steeper and is dangerous to slip on in the snow that stays here until mid-summer. The narrowness of the last part of the route to Bohinjska vratca also increases the risk of falling rocks.
From Bohinjska vratca it is only about 15 minutes of descent to Vodnik's house.
