Ruski križ - Koča v Krnici

Access to starting point:
We drive to Kranjska Gora, where we continue driving left in the direction of Vršič or Bovec. Just a little before the 3rd hairpin turn of the Ruska or Vršiška road, we will notice a smaller parking lot by the road, where we park. On the opposite side of the road from the parking lot we can see the cross, a few meters ahead on the left side the turn-off of the forest road and signposts for Koča v Krnici. We can also descend along the mentioned worse macadam road towards Suha Pišnica where there is also a somewhat larger parking lot. Some parking lots are also located a little further along the main road between the 4th hairpin turn and Mihov dom.
To the starting point we can also come from the Primorska side, namely through the Vršič pass.

Path description:
We go on the worse macadam road which immediately starts moderately descending through the forest. To the right upwards soon a path branches off which leads towards Mihov dom and further to Vršič. We continue on the road which descends and after a few minutes brings us to the parking lot near the bed of Suha Pišnica. Here by the parking lot there is also drinking water. We continue right past the parking lots and then continue on the road which is further closed to public traffic.
The road here first crosses the stream Suha Pišnica and then turns slightly left and brings us out of the forest onto the expansive grassy slopes of the pasture V Klinu, where on the right we notice an isolated hut, on the left a smaller memorial park Mali Tamar. The path ahead flattens completely, then joins the forest road which comes from the former hotel Erika or the bridge over Velika Pišnica. Here we continue right, and soon come to a junction where to the right a footpath branches off, which also leads towards Koča v Krnici. We continue straight on the macadam road. Further on we then follow the relatively steep forest road all the way to Koča v Krnici, which we reach after approximately 20 minutes of further walking.
