Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Kranjska Gora, and then we continue driving in the direction of Rateče. In Podkoren we continue right (if we are coming from the direction of Rateče, then left) in the direction of Austria and Korensko sedlo. Towards the border crossing we drive only a short time, because soon after the first hairpin turn we turn left onto a well-maintained parking lot by the road.
Path description:
From the starting point, we return to the turn, and from there we continue sharply to the left on an ascending cart track, which gently ascends alongside the stream. Soon we cross a torrent stream, and then on the other side we ascend along a steep and partly water-eroded cart track. Higher up, the cart track turns left and flattens somewhat. Next follows a traverse ascent to the left, and then we reach a kind of ridge. When the ridge turns into a slope, the path enters a dense forest and temporarily becomes somewhat indistinct. We continue in the same direction, where the cart track after a few dozen meters becomes more distinct again. A little further ahead, the path leads us across another cart track, and above it we quickly reach the macadam road. On the other side of the road, we reach a wide and relatively new cart track along which we walk only a few steps, since already after a few meters an old and partly overgrown cart track branches off to the right, along which we continue the ascent. Higher up, the cart track turns into a nicely laid-out hunting path, which then ascends in switchbacks across the steeper slope. Higher, where the slope flattens, the hunting path becomes harder to follow, but when the slope becomes steeper again, it is easier to follow once more. When a little further we step onto the macadam road for the second time, we follow it to the left to the right turn a few steps away.
In the middle of the turn, on an indistinct ridge, we will notice the continuation of the path, which proceeds through a dense spruce forest. On this section the path is harder to follow, but if we stick to the main ridge we are on the right track. During the ascent, another hunting path joins unnoticeably from the right (be careful especially on the descent so as not to miss the path). We reach the next road, along which we continue, at a longer right turn. We follow the road or subsequently the cart track to the point where it ends or turns into a path, along which with a few minutes of ascent we reach the border ridge. Once we reach the ridge, we continue right, then along a well-traceable little path we proceed towards the southwest. The path, accompanied by blueberry bushes, then brings us out of the forest with occasional views towards Austria, and a few dozen steps further to the indistinct summit of Visoka Bavha.
