Access to starting point:
Because of the rockfall, access to the described starting point is not possible until further notice (May 2018).
From the Ljubljana - Jesenice highway, take the Jesenice - west exit, then continue driving on the regional road towards Kranjska Gora. Follow the mentioned road to the settlement Belca and a few hundred meters further, then notice on the right side the beginning of the forest road which leads into the Belce valley. Further, drive on the initially still wide, then increasingly narrow and occasionally quite precipitous forest road. Follow the scenic road which leads us through the tunnel to the marked parking lot beside a smaller bridge at the confluence of Suhega grabna and Belega potoka.
If we continue driving over the bridge after which there is a green ramp, it can happen that it will be locked upon our departure.
Route description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the road, and it immediately crosses a bridge, behind which stands a green ramp. The road soon starts ascending more steeply beside the scenic stream Suhi graben. Higher up, we ascend above a nice waterfall, and the road a little further brings us to a crossroads, where we continue on the left road (right Kepa).
The road continues to ascend moderately, and we follow it at all crossroads on the "main" road. A little higher, the road leads past the forestry cottage and a little higher past a trough with water. We continue to follow the road, which has a few more smaller crossroads, on the "main" road, and after the last sharp right turn it brings us to a smaller junction beside which there is usually a smaller cairn. Here, the path to Mojstrovica over Bašinov breg branches off to the left. We head onto the mentioned cart track, which ascends steeply through the spruce forest. A little higher, the forest thins out, opening up a nice view of Kepa, and the cart track then brings us to a smaller junction. We continue on the left (right also possible), which a little higher gently descends and leads onto steep slopes. When the cart track starts ascending again, we leave it and continue right, where after a few 10 m of ascent we step onto the extensive grazing areas of the mountain pasture Bavhe.
Further on, the direction of ascent is clear. We continue straight up the grassy slope, and the "path" higher up brings us to a small pond (watering place for animals), beside which we also step onto a well-trodden path. We merely cross the mentioned path (left along the trail to Visoki vrh) and continue the ascent on pathless terrain. Along the mentioned grassy slope, we ascend all the way to the summit of the 1816 m high Mojstrovica.
In fog, orientation is difficult.

Discussion about the trip Zapornica (Belca) - Mojstrovica (via Bašinov breg)

Just one correction to the description, at photo 28 it's better to go straight up where the cart track takes us to the very NE corner of the alpine pasture, where the trail continues across the meadow.

Today we walked this wonderful path. The road really drags on, but then you are rewarded for the effort at the top with beautiful views. Today was one of those days when, despite the cold, the soul sings as your eyes wander around the beauties all around. From Mojstrovica we also went to Visoki Kurji vrh, which is also a viewpoint in all directions. What can I say, wonderful day, two peaks conquered that were unknown to us until today. Quite a few peaks up here are still waiting for us.
