At first we drive to Mojstrana and follow the road towards Vrata valley where we park on a big parking lot couple of minutes before Aljažev dom.

We are walking on a tourist road on the bottom of the valley and after 20 min our road secedes from the main to the right towards Pogačnikov dom. We are than walking through a beech forest and at a height of 1350 m we reach a spring. Soon afterwards we leave the forest and come to the crossroads where we take a right (left: Luknja) and over a meadow that is becoming increasingly steeper. If we pay attention to our surroundings, we can spot the marks that tell us the height every 100 m. The path is pretty abrupt and somewhere a bit exposed. Soon we find ourselves on rubble and when we overcome that, the ground starts to level. We are now on the meadows beneath Bovški Gamsovec, where there is always lots of steinbocks and we have to be careful not to scare them. The path starts to ascend slowly again and we reach Dovška vrata. Here we take a left towards Pogačnikov dom. Path starts to descent and brings us to crossroads. We continue forward (left path goes to Pihavec). On the left side we will notice The lake Spodnje kriško jezero below us. From here we have only short ascent to the cottage.
