The Krma Valley - Rjavina (via Teme)

Access to starting point:
We leave the Gorenjska motorway at the Hrušica exit and continue following the road in the direction of 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 following 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 a junction where a gravel road branches off to the right into the Kot valley. We continue straight on the road that begins to descend. In the middle of the descent, a road branches off to the right into the Krma valley (straight ahead to Radovna). A little further on, we reach the next junction, where we continue right in the direction of Krma. The gravel road then brings us to the Kovinarska koča, and we continue following it. The occasionally somewhat poorer road then brings us to the parking lot before the barrier.

Path description:
From the last parking lot in the Krma valley, named Pri lesi, we continue along the poorer road that continues through the valley and soon brings us to a clearing, where we bypass the nearby building on the left side. We continue along the gravel path that approaches the torrent and crosses it a little further on. On the other side of the torrent, the path enters the forest and ascends initially gently, then for some time quite steeply. Higher up, we come out of the forest into a belt of dwarf pines and shrubs, and beautiful views open up from the path to the nearby cliffs of the peaks, which on the other side slope more gently towards Pokljuka.
Higher up, somewhere at an altitude of a little more than 1400 m, the path temporarily levels out and brings us to the beautiful grassy plain Vrtača.
After the grassy part, the path begins to ascend again along a path that is often quite slippery in this section, which levels out on the Malo polje plain.
Here the path turns right and splits.
To the left, the path branches off towards Bohinjska vratca and Vodnikov dom na Velem polju, while we continue straight and at the foot of Vernar we easily continue to the spring with the trough.
After the trough, the path splits, and we continue straight on the marked path (left unmarked shortcut to the Zgornja Krma pasture). This is followed by some moderate, and higher up also somewhat steeper ascent through sparse, partly larch forest. Higher up the path turns left and levels out, and the aforementioned shortcut joins us from the left.
After the joining of both paths we quickly arrive at the shepherd's hut on the Zgornja Krma pasture, called Prgarca.
From here the path continues in a moderate ascent to the west and brings us to the last spring along the path, and above the spring the path splits again.
To the left continues the path across Kurica, which leads to Konjsko sedlo and further towards Dom Planika pod Triglavom, while we go right on the path that leads further in the direction of Kredarica and Staničev dom.
Just a few steps further, from the usual path towards Kredarica the "old path" towards Kredarica branches off to the left.
Here by the path are the only signs for Kredarica in this direction, while we continue straight on the gentle marked path, along which there are no signs for Kredarica (september 2025), which a few minutes further brings us to the marked junction, where the paths towards Kredarica and Staničev dom separate.
The path ahead leads us through the partly grassy terrain called Murava, later we ascend crosswise through increasingly sparse, mostly larch forest. Higher up the path gradually levels out and brings us to the lower part of Kravja dolina, where first an unmarked path joins us from the right, leading past the hunting lodge Zgornja Krma, and a little higher an also unmarked path branches off to the right, leading towards the central part of Kravja dolina and further towards Veliki Pršivec, the remains of the plane from WWII and to Rjavina via Teme.
We continue right along the unmarked trail (straight ahead Dom Valentina Staniča), which ascends through a smaller inconspicuous valley. The path through the valley leads us through dwarf pines and ascends only slightly, but soon becomes harder to follow and completely disappears towards the end of the valley.
Here we turn left towards Rjavina and after a shorter ascent we come to the grassy slope where we notice the remains of a bomber from the Second World War. We continue to the right along the lower scree to the start of a somewhat more demanding traverse towards Teme. The demanding section is very short, but a lot of caution is required because there is quite a lot of gravel on the path. Then follows another short traverse along a quite steep grassy slope and descent to Teme.
From Teme we then continue cross-country straight upwards towards the summit of Rjavina and ascend towards the north-northwest. If we stay a bit to the right along the ridge, a wonderful view of Luknja peč occasionally opens up. When we reach the main ridge of Rjavina higher up, we have only a few meters of relatively easy ascent left to the summit.
We can descend by the same route or along the marked ridge path.
