Zelenci - Mojčin dom na Vitrancu

Access to the starting point:
a) From the motorway Ljubljana - Jesenice, take the exit Jesenice - west (Hrušica), then continue driving in the direction of Kranjska Gora and then towards Rateče. 300 m before the Zelenci cafeteria, you will see a large gravel parking lot on the left, where you park.
b) Drive to Rateče and then continue towards Kranjska Gora. Soon you will see a parking lot on the right next to the Zelenci cafeteria, where you park.

Path description:
At the parking lot, you will see signs for walking path 12, which leads you slightly downhill to a wooden bridge over the Zelenec River. Here, with a beautiful view of the Ponce ridge, cross the young Sava Dolinka river, then climb gently up to the nearby cycle path. Follow the road to the left for a few metres and then reach the winter parking area at the westernmost double chair of the Kranjska Gora (Velika dolina) ski resort. From the winter parking lot, walk past the trestle in 10 steps to the bottom station of the aforementioned cable car, and from there continue right along the macadam road. The dirt road quickly splits into two parts, and we follow it to the left at the crossroads, which offers a nice view towards Ponce, by the Velika dolina ski resort. We continue up the increasingly narrow and deteriorating dirt road, which gradually turns into a rough cart track. Higher up, the rough cart track turns right and slightly downhill to a nearby torrent, but we leave it at this point and continue along the old, partly overgrown cart track, which continues to climb alongside the ski slope.
Just 10 m before the ski slope turns left towards the upper station of the Velika dolina (Velika dolina) double chairlift, our less visible cart track turns right into a torrential ravine. Here, on the other side of the torrent, we find the continuation of cart track, which then climbs transversely to the right. After a few minutes of traversing, the slope flattens out and cart track turns left and continues along and around the edge of a broad and indistinct ridge. After a few minutes, when the old cart track, still barely traceable, turns to the right, leave it and continue straight up a well-transitioned trackless climb.
From here onwards, you may occasionally see something trail-like, but otherwise you're climbing along a relatively easy potholed world the whole time. The relatively steep trackless "path" lasts for a good 30 minutes, and then the slope flattens out a bit and leads us to a ridge where we join the marked path from Planica.
When you reach this path, follow it to the left, and it will lead you along the edge of the sometimes precipitous and scenic ridge. Higher up, the trail returns to the forest, where it climbs steeply for a while, and then leads to the main ridge Ciprnik, where it joins the Vitranc - Ciprnik trail, and we follow it to the left (right top Ciprnik for 20 minutes). Vitranc - Ciprnik, and we follow it to the left (right top Ciprnik for 20 minutes). We continue along the ridge Vitranca, which occasionally opens up some views, but otherwise we mostly walk through the forest. We continue to climb moderately a few times and then slowly start to descend after the highest point of ridge Vitranc. The descents are relatively short, interrupted by a short climb every now and then. After crossing the old single-seater Vitranc II, the path from Kranjska Gora joins us from the left, and we continue straight on, reaching Mojca's home on Vitranec in a few 10 steps.
