Access to starting point:
Because of the rockfall access to described starting point currently isn't possible (May 2018).
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Jesenice - west, and then we continue driving on a regional road towards Kranjska Gora. The mentioned road, we follow to the settlement Belca and for few 100 meters ahead, and then we will notice on the right side beginning of the forest road which runs into a valley of Belca. Ahead we drive on at first still wide, after that narrower and occasionally quite precipitous forest road. Scenic road which leads us through the tunnel we follow to a marked parking lot by smaller bridge by the confluence of Suhi graben and stream Beli potok.
If we continue driving over a bridge after which is green gate, it can happen, that it will be locked on the way back.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the road, and it immediately crosses a bridge, behind which is situated green gate. The road soon starts ascending steeper by scenic stream Suhi graben. Higher, we ascend above nice waterfall, and the road a little further brings us to a crossroad, where we continue on the left road (right Kepa).
The road continues moderately ascending, and at all crossroads we follow the "main" road. A little higher road leads past the forestry cottage and a little higher past a trough with water. The road which has some smaller crossroads we still follow on "main" road, and after the last sharp right turn it brings us to a smaller crossing by which there is usually situated a smaller cairn. Here the path on Mojstrovica over Bašinov breg branches off to the left, and we continue straight and we follow the road to its end.
From the end of the road, we ascend on Sedlič, and there at the crossing at fence we continue left (right Kresišče and Trupejevo poldne). The path from Sedlič quickly passes on steep slopes, on which we ascend on with a forest covered ridge of Mojstrovica. When we reach the ridge, the steep path flattens, and a little further it even slightly descends. A gentle ascent follows and the path quickly brings us out of the forest on an ample grazing slopes. Here the footpath continues straight, and we continue slightly right on easier pathless terrain, on which in 5 minutes of additional walking, we get to panoramic peak.
From Mojstrovica we slightly descend towards the left and then we notice a footpath which leads in the forest. When we step into the forest, we start moderately descending, and when the path flattens, from the left another a little better beaten path joins. We continue straight, where we step out of the forest on a gentle grassy slope. There we ascend few 10 meters and then on the right side we notice a wide path, which turns to the right and crosses relatively steep slopes. When we cross the mentioned part of the path, it turns left and further leads on a panoramic moderately steep grassy slope. After that, the path passes into a lane of thin forest surrounded by dwarf pines. Next follows a short crossing, and then the path steeply ascends and it quickly brings us to the summit.
In fog the orientation in the upper part is relatively difficult.
The starting point - end of the road 1:45, end of the road - Mojstrovica 35 minutes, Mojstrovica - Visoki vrh 35 minutes.
On the way: Mojstrovica (1816m)
