Srednji Vrh - Kresišče (via Grajšca)

Access to starting point:
From highway Ljubljana - Jesenice we go to the exit Jesenice - west (Hrušica) and we continue driving in the direction Kranjska Gora. When we come in Gozd Martuljek we turn right in the direction of Srednji Vrh and on a narrow and steep road we drive to the mentioned settlement. When the road flattens a little, we will come to a crossroad of multiple roads and turning point. Here we park on an appropriate place by the crossroad.

Path description:
From the turning point on Srednji vrh, we continue towards the north, where we immediately get to a smaller crossroad. From the crossroad, we continue on the bottom right road which is with a traffic sign closed for public traffic. The road at first slightly descends, and then starts gently ascending past few houses, after which asphalt ends. On two successive smaller crossroads, which are situated only a little above the village, we continue left and then we for quite some time continue on a slightly ascending road which crosses larger number of torrents, gullies and streams. In the lower part of the path also view opens up a little on Martuljek mountain group, and then the road passes into the forest. First hour of walking, the road is gently to moderately ascending, and then it flattens and few times even descends a little. In the last part of the ascent on the road, forest gets thinner and the path brings us to the hunting cottage Hladnik, which is situated in the middle of a larger meadow.
Behind the hunting cottage we continue left, and the path immediately brings us to an unmarked crossing. Here we continue right into the forest and further we are ascending on a relatively steep cart track. A little higher we get to the next crossing of cart tracks, where we continue on the right one, which is further ascending diagonally towards the right. The mentioned cart track soon entirely flattens and it brings us to a smaller valley, where we cross the stream Hladnik. Immediately after the stream we turn left and we are for some time moderately ascending next to it, and then the path passes into a dense forest, where it starts ascending steeply. When after good 15 minutes of a steep ascent, the footpath brings us out of the forest, it flattens and slowly starts vanishing on grassy slopes of Grajšca. On some spots poorly visible path which runs on or by a valley, higher leads past a watering-place for animals, and valley only a little above the mentioned watering place splits into two parts.
We continue on the left longer and less steep valley, which is slowly turning more and more to the left. Here we will be able to, if we will be quiet enough and have a little luck, notice some marmots.
At the beginning of the upper part of Grajšca, we need to pay attention, because on the right side a nice passage will open towards the ridge between Maloško poldne and Kresišče. On an appropriate place we leave the path which leads on Trupejevo poldne and we go right on easy passable pathless terrain, on which in good 5 minutes we ascend on a small saddle between the earlier mentioned peaks.
When we reach the small saddle, we join the marked Austrian path, and we follow it right in the direction of Kresišče / Schwarzkogel (left Maloško poldne and Ostra peč).
At first, we are still ascending through a thin forest, and higher it is replaced by dwarf pines and increasingly beautiful views start to open up mainly on Julian Alps. In the last part, the path brings us on grassy slopes and a short ascent follows to the top.
