Dolina Krma - Dom Valentina Staniča (via Travna dolina)

Access to starting point:
We leave Gorenjska highway at exit Hrušica and follow the road ahead in the direction of Kranjska Gora. Just a little before the village Dovje the road which goes to Mojstrana (Vrata, Kot and Krma) branches off to the left. We follow the road ahead in the direction of village Radovna and the valleys Krma and Kot. The relatively steep road then runs past the sign TNP, behind which the road soon flattens and it brings us to a crossroad, where a macadam road into a valley Kot branches off to the right. We continue straight on the road which starts descending. In the middle of the descent, a road into a valley Krma branches off to the right (straight Radovna). A little further, we come to the next crossing, where we continue right in the direction of Krma. Macadam road then brings us to the mountain hut Kovinarska koča, and we follow it further. Occasionally a little rough road then brings us to a parking lot in front of the gate.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the road past the gate to extensive deposits of gravel. Next follows few minutes of easy walking on gravel to a marked but sometimes poorly visible crossing. Walking path continues straight, and blazes point us to the right over a torrent into the forest, where the path starts slightly ascending. Only after approximately 40 minutes of walking, the path becomes steeper, but not that much. A moderately steep path at the altitude of 1300m brings us out of the forest into dwarf pines. Here nice views are starting to open up on the nearby walls of peaks above Krma. Ascent doesn't last long, because the path soon descends for few meters and brings us on nice plain Vrtača. The walk through a nice grassy plain is very pleasant and panoramic. And on the other side, the path again starts ascending, this time through a thin forest. This ascent also doesn't last long, it gets interrupted by plain Malo polje, where the path turns right.
On Malo polje we need to pay attention, because only few 10 meters after the crossing, where the path to the mountain hut Vodnikov dom branches off to the left, less noticeable footpath which leads into a valley Travna dolina branches off to the right. When Malo polje starts narrowing, we will on the right side notice a poorly beaten footpath which continues by the right edge of the valley. We soon get to indistinct "gable" of valley, where a poorly visible path starts ascending. We continue on grassy footpath which used to be well made, but today it is overgrown by grass and in parts bushes. Somewhere in the middle of the ascent over a grassy slope footpath turns right in the forest and then it ascends diagonally to the hunting cottage.
At the hunting cottage, we continue sharply left, and we continue the ascent on at first gentle, and then moderately steep path, which is ascending mostly through a thin forest. Poorly beaten, but with some effort all the time easy to follow footpath, higher flattens and passes into a lane of dwarf pines. From here follows few more minutes of walking through a small valley and we join the marked path which leads towards the mountain hut Staničev dom.
We reach a marked path right on a smaller plain, and we follow it right uphill. After a short ascent in the middle of the left turn unmarked path into a valley Kravja dolina branches off, and we follow the marked path towards Konta pod Rjavino, which we reach after approximately half an hour of ascent through more and more rare dwarf pines. The path ahead passes on the scree below Rjavina, on which we are ascending towards the saddle Dovška vratca. Before we get to the mentioned saddle, marked path turns to the left, where semicircular turns towards the left. When the path flattens a little, from the left joins the path from the saddle Konjski preval, and we continue right in the direction of the mountain hut Staničev dom and in few minutes of a moderate ascent we get on an indistinct ridge, where the marked path on Rjavina branches off to the right. We continue straight and the path which starts moderately descending, with a view on Triglav, Begunjski vrh, Visoka Vrbanova špica, we follow to the mountain hut Dom Valentina Staniča pod Triglavom, which we reach after approximately 10 minutes of descent.
