The Krma Valley - Triglavski dom na Kredarici

Access to starting point:
a) Leave the Gorenjska motorway at the Hrušica exit and continue following the road towards Kranjska Gora. Just before the village of Dovje, a road branches off to the left from the main road leading to Mojstrana (Vrata, Kot and Krma). Continue following the road towards the village of Radovna and the Krma and Kot valleys. The fairly steep road then takes us past the TNP sign, after which the road soon flattens and brings us to a junction where a gravel road branches off to the right into the Kot valley. Continue straight ahead on the road, which begins to descend. In the middle of the descent, a road branches off to the right into the Krma valley (straight ahead Radovna). A little further on, we reach the next junction, where we continue right towards Krma. The gravel road then brings us to the Kovinarska koča, which we continue to follow. The occasionally somewhat rougher road then takes us to the parking lot before the barrier.
b) Drive to Kranjska Gora, then continue driving towards Jesenice. At Dovje, leave the main road and continue right towards Mojstrana and the Vrata, Kot and Krma valleys, following the signs for Krma at the subsequent junctions. The fairly steep road then takes us past the TNP sign, after which the road soon flattens and brings us to a junction where a gravel road branches off to the right into the Kot valley. Continue straight ahead on the road, which begins to descend. In the middle of the descent, a road branches off to the right into the Krma valley (straight ahead Radovna). A little further on, we reach the next junction, where we continue right towards Krma. The gravel road then brings us to the Kovinarska koča, which we continue to follow. The occasionally somewhat rougher road then takes us to the parking lot before the barrier.

Path description:
From the last parking lot in the Krma Valley, called Pri lesi, we continue along the poorer road that continues up 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, which approaches a torrent and crosses it a little further on. On the other side of the torrent, the path enters the forest and initially ascends gently, then quite steeply for some time. Higher up, we leave the forest and enter the belt of dwarf pines and shrubs, from where the path offers beautiful views of the nearby rock faces of the peaks, which descend more gently towards Pokljuka on the other side.
Higher up, at an altitude of just over 1400 m, the path temporarily flattens and brings us to the beautiful grassy plain of Vrtača.
After the grassy section, the path begins to ascend again along a path that is often quite slippery in this section, flattening out on the Malo polje plain.
Here the path turns right and forks.
To the left, the path branches off towards Bohinjska vrata and Vodnikov dom on Velem polju, while we continue straight ahead and easily proceed along the foot of Vernar to the spring with a trough.
After the trough, the path forks again, but we continue straight along the marked path (left unmarked shortcut to Planina Zgornja Krma). This is followed by some moderate ascent, higher up somewhat steeper, through sparse, partly larch forest. Higher up, the path turns left and flattens, joined from the left by the aforementioned shortcut.
After the junction of both paths, we quickly reach the shepherd's hut on Planina Zgornja Krma, called Prgarca.
From here, the path continues with a moderate ascent towards the west and brings us to the last spring along the path; above the spring, the path forks again.
To the left, the path continues over Kurica to Konjsko sedlo and further to Dom Planika pod Triglavom, while we go right onto the path leading further towards Kredarica and Staničev dom.
Just a few steps further, the "old path" to Kredarica branches off to the left from the usual path to Kredarica.
Here are the only signs for Kredarica in this direction along the path, but we continue straight along the gentle marked path, which has no signs for Kredarica (September 2025), bringing us a few minutes later to a marked junction where the paths to Kredarica and Staničev dom separate.
Here we go left towards Triglavski dom na Kredarici and Triglav (straight ahead Dom Valentina Staniča) and first ascend steeply above the Murava plain, then gradually arrive in the torrent valley called Ulice.
A little further on, at Vrh Ulic, the aforementioned quite steep "old path" joins us from the left; another minute further, a path branches slightly left from the path to Kredarica, leading towards Konjsko sedlo (this is a longer variant that avoids the steep ascent over Kurica), while we continue slightly right along the better-trodden path.
The path ahead ascends moderately for a short time, mostly towards the northwest, i.e., towards the rock faces of Vrh Snežne konte.
In this section, we cross the path Konjsko sedlo - Dom Valentina Staniča, continuing straight and entering the steep scree slopes of Kalvarija. Here we ascend steeply in a few switchbacks along increasingly panoramic slopes.
When the path higher up temporarily flattens somewhat, we join the path from Pokljuka, which leads past Vodnikov dom on Velem polju and over Konjsko sedlo, but we continue slightly right towards Kredarica and Triglav. A few minutes further, when the path flattens even more, a path branches left past Snežne konte and over Štapce towards Dom Planika pod Triglavom, while we continue right, first quite gently, then ascending to the ridge above Vrh Snežne konte, the peak we saw from below upwards during the ascent over Kalvarija.
Here the path becomes steeper again, and we follow it all the way to Triglavski dom na Kredarici.
Krma - Zgornja Krma 2:30, Zgornja Krma - Triglavski dom na Kredarici 2:30.
