Aljažev dom v Vratih - Triglavski dom na Kredarici (via Prag)

Access to starting point:
We drive to Mojstrana, then follow the signs for Vrata Valley. We continue on the toll road, which is closed to public traffic in winter, following it to the large parking lot located a few minutes before Aljažev dom v Vratih.

Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the gravel road closed to public traffic, passing Šlajmerjev dom and quickly reaching Aljažev dom v Vratih.
Bypass Aljažev dom on the right and continue straight towards Triglav, Sovatna, Luknja... (right to Škrlatica, bivouac at Rušje...). Continue along the poorer gravel road, which leads past the winter shelter to the marked junction at the famous peg (monument to fallen partisan mountaineers).
Continue straight again (left Tominšek's path), a gentle path leads with beautiful views of Triglav and Triglav north face. After a few minutes of walking, upon reaching the beech forest, the path over Sovatna branches right, we continue straight towards Luknja and Triglav - path over Prag. A short ascent on the cart track follows, then markers direct left to the path approaching the bed of Triglavska Bistrica. Here the path passes the memorial to mountain victims, shortly after reaching the next marked junction.
Straight continues to Luknja, we go left towards the path over Prag, first crossing Triglavska Bistrica stream (source of Bistrica slightly higher).
On the other side of the stream, quickly reach the first steep section aided by initial pegs, after a few minutes difficulty eases, continuing steep ascent with increasingly beautiful views across the valley.
This section is partly overgrown with dwarf pines, higher up safety equipment reappears, soon reaching probably the hardest part on the path over Prag, climbing a nearly vertical 15-meter chimney with brackets and cables. The path gradually eases, Tominšek's path joins from left, a few steps further reaching Begunjski studenec.
Continue steep ascent, technically not demanding here, after about 15 minutes reaching next junction where path to dom Valentina Staniča pod Triglavom branches left, we go straight following signs for Triglav and Triglavski dom na Kredarici.
Path temporarily flattens, bypasses Kotel on right and enters Triglavske pode, where orientation is harder especially in fog. Upper part of Triglavske pode becomes steeper and technically demanding, with safety gear on difficult spots.
Above steep part, path flattens again with improving views, in a few minutes ascending to Triglavski dom na Kredarici.
