Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Kranjska Gora, and then we continue driving in the direction of Bovec. Only a little after the Jasna guesthouse, we will get to a bridge over the river Pišnica, by which we park on a smaller parking lot. We can also park a few tens of meters back on a larger parking lot next to the TNP sign or near the former hotel Erika.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we head onto a macadam road that leads towards the mountain hut Koča v Krnici. After approximately half an hour of easy walking, we leave the road and continue the ascent to the left in the direction of Špik through Kačji graben. The path ahead initially ascends through overgrown forest, higher up it crosses the lower part of the mentioned graben and then steeply ascends. The ascent along Kačji graben is very steep and in wet dangerous for slipping (some fixed protections assist us). The path then becomes somewhat easier and transitions into dense forest, through which we ascend to an altitude of approximately 1600 m. The forest then becomes progressively sparser and the path leads us to the foot of mighty screes. When we reach the scree, the path turns slightly to the left and begins to ascend the gravelly terrain of the scree. Walking on the relatively steep scree takes quite a bit of our energy.
When below the walls of Špik on the scree the marked path turns to the right, we leave the marked path and head onto the scree. We can ascend straight up the scree, and then at the top of the scree we notice a faint path that crosses the slope above the scree. We head to the left and cross the slope along the mentioned path towards the gully on the southeastern side of Frdamane police. Here we can also notice some cairns along the path that help with orientation. When we ascend to the gully, we continue to the right up the gully. There is quite a bit of gravel in the gully, so some caution is required during the ascent. The easiest is to ascend along the right edge of the gully. Such an ascent then brings us to the notch.
At the notch, or even a meter or so below the notch, we then head to the left and begin to ascend the steep slope that is partly covered with grass. Higher up, cairns guide us slightly to the left and a less visible path leads us below the steep summit rocky slope. Here we turn right and ascend transversely to the main ridge, where a view opens towards the cirque Pod srcem deep below us.
We continue to the left and begin to ascend steeper rocky terrain. Cairns assist us in finding better passages. Here we ascend steeply a few times and some easy climbing is required. A short ascent follows along a narrow exposed ridge to the forepeak.
From the forepeak we descend slightly and then a short crossing follows on the left side of the ridge. At the end only a short ascent remains on the steeper slope on which there is some loose gravel. Such an ascent brings us to the panoramic summit where the register box is also located.
From the summit it is also possible to continue to the northwestern peak, which is somewhat lower (climbing up to grade II).
We descend along the ascent path.
