Access to starting point:
We leave Gorenjska highway at exit Hrušica and follow the road ahead in the direction of Kranjska Gora. Just a little before the village Dovje the road which goes to Mojstrana (Vrata, Kot and Krma) branches off to the left. We follow the road ahead in the direction of village Radovna and the valleys Krma and Kot. The relatively steep road then runs past the sign TNP, behind which the road soon flattens and it brings us to a crossroad, where a macadam road into a valley Kot branches off to the right. We continue straight on the road which starts descending. In the middle of the descent, a road into a valley Krma branches off to the right (straight Radovna). A little further, we come to the next crossing, where we continue right in the direction of Krma. Macadam road then brings us to the mountain hut Kovinarska koča, and we follow it further. Occasionally a little rough road then brings us to a parking lot in front of the gate.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue past a gate and we continue on gentle and for public traffic closed forest road. The worse road for some time continues on an extensive gravel terrain, and then turns slightly to the right, where passes into the forest and changes into a rocky cart track. Further, we are for some time gently ascending through the forest, after we stride across a little bigger torrent, the path starts ascending steeper through a dense forest. Higher, we pass out of the forest into a lane of dwarf pines, mixed with bushes, and the path is over the mentioned slope ascending on gravel. At the altitude approximately 1400 meters, the path flattens and after few 10 strides of additional walking brings us on a nice grassy plain named Vrtača.
On the other side of the plain, wide path again starts ascending and after approximately 20 minutes of additional walking brings us on Malo polje, where it turns to the right and brings us on a less noticeable crossing.
We continue left in the direction of the mountain hut Vodnikov dom (right Planika and Kredarica) on the path which quickly starts ascending at first through larch forest and then on the scree upwards. The path on the scree is becoming steeper and steeper and is in snow, which here stays until mid summer dangerous for slipping. Because of the narrow last part of the path to a saddle Bohinjska vratca is also enlarged danger of falling stones.
From the saddle Bohinjska vratca we continue right on an unmarked footpath which leads on a grassy slope upwards. Grassy slope is becoming increasingly steep and especially in wet it is very dangerous for slipping. Steep footpath which runs slightly left from the ridge we then follow all the way to grassy secondary peak at an altitude 2183 meters.
From the secondary peak, we continue on the ridge and at first, we few meters steeply descend on a rocky slope. We continue on the ridge, which becomes quite narrow and exposed. We walk mostly by the left side of the ridge and also few cairns show the direction. Next follows few more very short climbing spots (I-II grade) and we are already on the summit of Vernar.
On the way: Vrtača (1430m), Malo polje (1585m), Bohinjska vratca (1979m)
