Access to starting point:
We leave the Gorenjska motorway at the Hrušica exit and continue along the road towards Kranjska Gora. Just a little before the village of Dovje, a road branches off to the left from the main road, leading to Mojstrana (Vrata, Kot and Krma). We continue along the road in the direction of the village of Radovna and the Krma and Kot valleys. The relatively steep road then leads us past the TNP sign, after which the road soon levels out and brings us to an intersection, where a gravel road branches off to the right into the Kot valley (straight ahead Radovna and Krma). We then follow this occasionally somewhat poorer road to the parking lot, where we also notice the mountain direction signs.
Path description:
From the parking lot we continue along the wide cart track (poorer road), which after a few minutes of easy walking brings us to the turning point (parking here is not recommended). Here the marked path towards Staničev dom slightly descends and crosses the torrent, but we continue slightly to the right along the cart track, which ascends gently on the right side of the torrent (left bank). After approximately 3 minutes of walking from the turning point, an unmarked hunting path branches off to the right from the cart track, along which we then continue the ascent. The path, which initially ascends gently, quickly brings us to a stream, along which we ascend for a short time before crossing it. On the other side of the stream the path ascends relatively steeply in numerous switchbacks and after some time brings us out of the forest onto quite overgrown grassy slopes. The path from which views open primarily to Macesnovec, Luknja peč and Rjavina higher up again hides into the forest. When the trail brings us to an indistinct side ridge we can in a few steps climb to a nice viewpoint, from which a view opens to the peaks above the Kot and Krma valleys.
On the indistinct ridge the path turns left (not along the ridge) and brings us in a traversing ascent to a smaller grassy scree slope, surrounded by numerous larches. The path then goes back into the forest, higher up turns right and after a somewhat longer traversing ascent brings us to the main ridge, where we continue to the right (sharply left Požgana and Rušnata Mlinarica).
In the continuation we walk along the ridge through the forest for some more time, then the path brings us out of the forest to the panoramic summit of Požar.

Starting point - junction with the marked path 0:05, junction with the marked path - junction on the ridge 1:45, junction on the ridge - Požar 0:10.
