Kranjska Gora - Ciprnik (via Bedančev dom)

Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Kranjska Gora, then we follow the signs for the Kranjska Gora ski slopes. We park on a large parking lot at the foot of the Kranjska Gora ski slopes.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue in the direction of Ciprnik, first on metal stairs and past a kiosk where they sell tickets. At the kiosk we also notice signs for Bedančev dom, to which we have 45 minutes of ascent. There follows another ascent on metal stairs, then we arrive at the lower station of the four-seater chairlift Vitranc I, and we continue slightly to the right of the chairlift, on a macadam road that starts to ascend alongside the ski slope (in summer the summer toboggan run Besna Pehta). We continue ascending along the mentioned road, higher up we can temporarily leave it, as it continues slightly to the left alongside the summer toboggan run as a cart track, which higher returns to the road. When we return to the road, a good 10 minutes of careful walking separate us (careful because a cyclist may come towards us, as they have their track here) and we already arrive at the upper station of the four-seater chairlift Vitranc I and a few dozen steps further to Bedančev dom.
A little above Bedančev dom we notice the next yellow tourist signs, and we follow them in the direction of Vitranc and Ciprnik, thus still along the road. Further on, the road ascends in a few turns, then it brings us to the part of the Kranjska Gora ski slopes above Podkoren, where we ascend to the left of the upper station of the four-seater chairlift Podkoren. Above the mentioned four-seater chairlift station the ski slopes end, and the path then ascends for some time alongside the former ski slope that led from Vitranc (the ski slope was never groomed, as the slope was too steep for the snow groomer. Because many accidents occurred, including fatal ones, they closed the ski slope, the cableway continued to operate, but it was forbidden to go there with skis), then it passes into the forest, through which it starts to ascend steeply. On a few slippery spots we are helped further by a rope, and higher we cross once again the already quite overgrown former ski slope, then we ascend further through a strip of forest onto the ridge of Vitranc, where we continue left to the Mojčin dom a few dozen steps away.
From Mojčin dom, near which there is also the decaying Dom na Vitrancu, we return a few dozen steps back to the junction, from where we continue in the direction of Ciprnik, where the path also leads past the decaying one-seater chairlift Vitranc II.
(The one-seater chairlift Vitranc II is the oldest one-seater chairlift in Slovenia and one of the oldest in the world as it bears the year 1958. A few years ago it was still possible to safely reach Vitranc with it, today it no longer has an operating permit).
The path continues along the ridge of Vitranc with some shorter ascents and descents, then we arrive at the place where the path from Planica joins us from the right.
We continue straight on the gradually steeper path, which higher leads us from the forest into a belt of dwarf pines. The steep path, alongside which there are further some fixed protections that are not necessarily needed, then accompanies us all the way to the scenic Ciprnik.Kranjska Gora - Bedančev dom 50 minutes, Bedančev dom - Mojčin dom 1:20, Mojčin dom - Ciprnik 45 minutes.
While the ski slopes are operating, access is possible along the edge of the ski slopes.
