Access to starting point:
We leave the Gorenjska motorway at the Hrušica exit and follow the road ahead in the direction of Kranjska Gora. Just a little before the village of Dovje, the road to Mojstrana (Vrata, Kot and Krma) branches off to the left from the main road. We follow the road ahead in the direction of the Vrata valley and drive along it to the road sign approximately 10.5 km. Here, on the left side of the road, we will notice a smaller parking lot and a road that crosses the river. We park so that we do not block the passage over the river (Triglavska Bistrica).
In winter, the road to Vrata is closed. This can extend the hike by 1 to 2 hours.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we descend to the stream and on the other side take the footpath that ascends through the forest. After a few minutes of ascent, the path from Aljažev dom joins us from the right. We continue left further through the forest. After less than an hour of walking, we come out of the forest onto the scree, where we head right upward toward the wall. Even if there is no snow, orientation is not difficult as the path here is well beaten. When we reach below the walls, we turn left and continue ascending over the scree, which in unfavourable conditions is dangerous for snow avalanches or slipping. Further on, we continue ascending along the right side of the valley all the way to the point where the steepness eases. When the steepness eases, we walk through the valley full of large rocks (boulders). Further on, we continue depending on the snow conditions. Usually, we proceed up the valley and then slightly left below Visoka Vrbanova špica. This part of the path is quite steep and, if there is little snow, the direct ascent is blocked by cliffs (when there is less snow, we head right below Begunjski vrh and then cross left). Above this steep section, we reach a saddle, where a view of Triglav opens up (from here, to the left, it is about five minutes to Staničev dom, which has a winter room).
On the saddle, we head left and look for the best passage to the summit. We find this passage slightly further right and then ascend up the middle of the not too steep slope to the summit.
On the way: Begunjska vratca (2342m)
