A) First, we drive to Kranjska Gora, and then we continue driving towards Rateče. When we get to the roundabout near Rateče, we take the exit in the direction of Planica. There follows some ascent and we arrive at a large parking lot by the Nordic Center Planica, where we park in the paid parking lot. The price for personal vehicles is 2.5 eur / day (March 2019).

Route description:
From Planica we continue on a macadam road towards the mountain hut Dom v Tamarju; before the road passes into the forest it splits into two parts. We continue on the slightly right-hand road in the direction of the footpath towards Tamar (slightly left driving road which is closed to public traffic).
The path ahead leads us on the road which past the last parking lot of NC Planica passes into the forest and which is in the winter time converted into a cross-country ski trail. Next follows an ascent on a gently sloping road which mostly runs through the forest, and when the path leaves the forest, by the path are peepholes with signs indicating what can be seen. Higher up the forest several times gets thinner or we leave it for some time, so that beautiful views open up on mountains which are rising above Planica and Tamar. When we already get quite close to the mountain hut Dom v Tamarju a wonderful view opens up also on Jalovec, and the path splits.
We continue slightly right towards the source of Nadiža (slightly left mountain hut Dom v Tamarju 3 minutes), at first still on a wide and gently sloping path, and behind a water supply structure the path narrows and becomes steep. Further, we ascend along the left bank of Nadiža, occasionally steeply upwards. When higher we get closer to the cliffs the path turns left and with the help of steel cables brings us to the Nadiža waterfall; the source is situated above the waterfall.
Description and pictures refer to the condition in the year 2019 (March).
