Access to the starting point:
a) From upper Gorenjska, first drive to Bohinjska Bistrica, then continue to Soriška mountain pasture. From Soriška planina we start descending towards Sorica, and at the beginning of the village we turn left in the direction of Zgornje Danj. When you reach Zgornje Danje, at the junction in front of the houses, turn left up a slightly steeper dirt road, then park alongside it after 100 m.
b) From central Slovenia, first drive to Škofja Loka, then continue to Železniki and then Soriška mountain pasture. At the end of the village of Sorica, turn right in the direction of Zgornja Danja. Continue along the road which crosses the slopes to the right, then just before the houses in Zgornje Danje turn left onto a dirt road and park alongside it after 100 m.
c) From Primorska, first drive to Most na Soči or Bača near Modre, then continue to Podbrdo and on to Soriška mountain pasture. At the end of the village of Sorica, turn right in the direction of Zgornja Danja. Continue along the road which crosses the slopes to the right, then just before the houses in Zgornje Danje turn left onto a dirt road and park alongside it after 100 m.
Path description:
From the road along which you parked, turn right and continue along the wide stone cart track, which you follow only as far as a nearby wooden shack. Here you will see the start of the marked path leading to Ratitovec on your left.
The path first climbs through the forest and then crosses a relatively new clearing, where you will also cross cart track. There are no markings at this point due to the fallen trees, so orientation is a little more difficult in this part, but if you look for a path that continues in the same direction, you will have no major problems with that either. The way forward returns to the forest for a while, then lays down and leads us to a larger meadow (planina Spodnji Jirn). On the other side of the meadow, by the watering place for animals, the path turns slightly to the left and then right into the forest. The way forward leads us to the worse cart track, which we walk on for only a short time, as the poorly visible signs then direct us left onto the mountain path, which we follow through the forest to a relatively new wooden log cabin.
From the log cabin, where we also leave the forest, we continue in the same direction and continue our ascent along the less visible path, which climbs slightly to the right. The increasingly scenic path, which offers beautiful views of Blegoš, Črni vrh and Porezen, leads us higher up to the old military bunker, where we can rest or take some nice panoramic shots. From the bunker, continue for a few minutes on the less well-trodden path, then join the Soriška planina - Krekova koča path.
Continue here and follow the path in the direction of Soriška planina (Altemaver and Krekova koča on the right). The path climbs moderately at first and then gradually starts to descend and turn to the left. After a short descent, the path starts to climb again, and then in less than 5 minutes of further walking leads us to Kremant.
