Access to the starting point:
From Kranjska Gora, drive over the Vršič pass towards Bovec or vice versa, but only as far as the 50th serpentine of the Vršiška or Ruska road (near the village of Trenta). Here you turn onto a side road, and then park for a few 100 metres in a roadside parking lot.
Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the road, which takes you past a few houses (mainly on weekends) and leads you in about 15 minutes to a place where the road splits into two parts (there used to be a parking lot at the crossroads, but now parking is forbidden).
From the old parking lot, take the road to the left in the direction of Pogačnikov dom na Kriških podih (the road to the right leads to Prehodavci and Dolič). After 15 minutes of further walking, the road leads to the bottom station of the cargo cableway, where it ends.
The ascent continues along a marked footpath (mulatjeri) which climbs moderately through the forest. The path climbs above the valley of the White Stream and quickly leads to very steep slopes (risk of falling rocks), over which a very wide footpath leads. The path then crosses the Veliki Presek ravine, after which you reach a short exposed ledge, which you cross with the help of a rope. The path then returns to the forest, where it climbs moderately in a number of switchbacks. A little further on, the path leads us under a small overhang, where we can see a number of sticks that hikers put up to keep the rock from rolling down into the valley (the sticks are put up more as a joke than for real). The path then crosses a couple of small ravines, and then leads us past a chapel to a larger ravine. With a little care (easy) we cross the aforementioned ravine, after which we climb up to a pleasant resting place (two benches along the way) within a few minutes of further walking. Next, cross another larger ravine (in early summer, the possibility of snowfields), and then the path returns to the forest. Higher up, the forest becomes thinner and the path steeper and more scenic.
The path, which continues to climb along an old mulatier, then passes two more benches and leads to lane of dwarf pines, after which we pass into a rockier world. We continue to climb over small scree fields, along an increasingly scenic path, which leads us higher up to a pleasant little spring.
Only a few 10 steps above the spring, we will come to an unmarked crossroads, where an unmarked path branches off to the right towards Spodnje Kriško jezero (2 minutes), and we continue slightly to the left along a further wide mountain path. The path ahead leads us past small ruins, and we follow it all the way to a marked crossroads where the path from the Vrata valley joins us from the right. Continue to the left and after two minutes of further walking you will reach Pogačnik's home at Kriški podi. From Pogačnikova's home continue in the direction of Razor and Križa along the path, which descends slightly and leads us in a few steps to the next crossroads, where we go right (left Razor). Next, we climb up the initially gently sloping, then slightly steeper path, which leads us across the karst world of the Kriški podov. Slightly higher up, a path branches off to the right (or straight ahead), leading to Zgornje Kriško jezero, and we continue straight ahead (or left) on a path that crosses the steep slopes of Kriški rob higher up. When the path reaches the ridge at the end of the Kriški rob crossing, we catch sight of the 2382 m high Šplevta (the mountain in the shape of an Indian). Next, the path climbs steeply over the broken rocks (danger of slipping) and leads us higher up to the Bovška vratica (Bovška vratica). Continue right towards the top of Križa (straight ahead Škrlatica, Dolkova špica, Cirque and the bivouac at Dwarf pines), which is only a 10-minute walk away. The way ahead first climbs gently along an increasingly narrow ridge, then climbs steeply with the help of a ropeway over a slightly exposed rock slab, after which you reach an interesting passage through a natural chute. With some skill, the narrow chute leads to the scenic Križ.

Ko stopiš čez Kriški rob na greben zagledaš Indijanca. Ko ga vidiš misliš, da so ga izklesali stari Egipčani.

Mi smo se odpravili iz Pogačnikovega doma čez Bovška vratca. Pot je lepo varovana in nudi prelepe razglede. V kolikor se odpraviš na Stenar, ki je sicer le 91m višji (od tako blizu pa zgleda precej višji), se je treba spustiti po melišču in potem nazaj gor. pot je označena, ampak je kar možnost zdrsov.
