Pišnica - Gubno (above Kriška stena)

Access to starting point:
a) First we drive to Kranjska Gora, then continue driving towards the Vršič pass. When Kranjska Gora ends, the road leads us past Lake Jasna, after the lake we reach the bridge over Velika Pišnica, where the described trail begins. We park at the smaller parking lot at the intersection, or a little earlier at the larger parking lot before the start of TNP, or after the bridge near the former Hotel Erika.
b) We drive to Trento, then over the Vršič pass we begin descending towards Kranjska Gora. After crossing the bridge over Velika Pišnica, the described trail begins. We park at the smaller parking lot at the intersection, or a little earlier near the former Hotel Erika, or a little after the bridge at the somewhat larger parking lot opposite the TNP sign.

Path description:
From the bridge over Velika Pišnica we continue in the direction of Koča v Krnici, where the path leads us along a macadam road through the valley of Velika Pišnica. The fairly gentle road running along the mountain stream first crosses several torrents, then after the dam, which is quite photogenic due to the high mountains in the background, a little further it brings us to a marked junction, where the path through Kačji graben to Špik branches off to the left.
We continue straight on the still gentle road, which then takes us across the gravel area to a marked junction, where at the edge of Planina v Klinu the path from Ruski križ joins us from the right.
We continue left in the direction of Krnice, then immediately after crossing the torrent right onto a forest footpath. A moderate ascent through the forest follows, and after about 20 minutes of further walking we arrive at Koča v Krnici.
From Koča v Krnici we continue straight (left Špik and Velika Dnina) in the direction of Križ, Pogačnikov dom na Kriških podih and Škrlatica. The path ahead first still leads through the forest, then brings us into a belt of shrubs, where we walk for some time along mighty torrent deposits. Higher up the path turns slightly left and begins to climb steeply. A steep ascent follows through the area called Travno brdo, where the path still leads through the last belt of forest. Higher up the larch forest first thins out, then ends quite quickly. This is followed by an ascent across a short grassy section, and from the path which transitions to scree, beautiful views of the surrounding mountains and walls open up. Higher up, at an altitude of about 1900 meters, the path levels out and brings us into the cirque V kotu, at the end of the cirque the path turns left and brings us to the entrance to Kriška stena (in early summer there is often still snow at the entrance to the wall).
Before entering the wall, or even earlier, we put on a helmet, then carefully step into the wall. At the beginning of the wall the path turns left and climbs steeply, in the continuation the path is mostly led along natural passages, on harder sections we are helped by safety equipment. The ascent up the wall, which besides exposure is also exposed to falling rocks, lasts about one hour. Above the wall the path levels out and brings us to a junction at Vrh Kriške stene, and a few tens of steps earlier we turn left onto pathless terrain, at the beginning of which there is usually a larger cairn.
We walk to the cairn, then check the further direction of the ascent. Due to the large number of big cracks and chasms, the initial part of the pathless section is orientationally somewhat more difficult, but in good weather not particularly demanding. When we get through the labyrinth, we arrive below the foot of the steep slope of Gubno. From here we ascend along a relatively steep slope, keeping to the right passages (if we keep more to the left it is very steep). After a few minutes of ascent the slope levels out, and we transition to the summit grassy slope of the mountain, along which we then walk all the way to the panoramic summit.
