A beautiful walking path through forests along the babbling Pišnica River. In winter, you can sled down the path back.
The excursion begins in front of the Kranjska Gora Tourist Information Center. At hotel Kotnik, turn right and continue to the Kranjska Gora People's House, from where you turn left and continue towards Korona, Resort & Entertainment. At the end of the street, turn right and go past hotel Kranjska Gora on the road leading to the lake at Jasna. Behind the bridge before Jasna, head between the lake and the river onto a track joining the road to Vršič. From the parking lot at the end of lake Jasna, continue on the main road for approximately another 100 m. Just before the bridge, turn left and follow the track along the Pišnica River towards the hut in Krnica. On the way back, you have two options. You can return the same way or take mountaineering path 8a, which joins the arrival path before the memorial Mali Tamar, to mountaineers who died in the Kranjska Gora mountains.

Safety information
The following recommendations have been prepared by mountaineering associations to ensure the activity is carried out as safely as possible.
1. Building fitness
Hiking and mountaineering are endurance sports that strain the heart and accelerate circulation, so hikers and mountaineers must be healthy and able to realistically assess their abilities. Do not rush; choose a walking pace so that no one in the group collapses.
2. Careful planning
Maps, guides, the internet, and experts can inform you about the length, elevation difference, difficulty of the route, and current conditions. Always choose routes according to the group's abilities. Pay special attention to the weather forecast, as wind, rain, and cold increase the risk of accidents.
3. Complete equipment
Adjust your equipment appropriately to the planned walk; your backpack should not be too heavy. Always carry protection against rain, cold, and sun in your backpack, as well as a first aid kit and a mobile phone (emergency number in Europe: 112). Use maps and GPS for orientation.
4. Suitable footwear
Stable hiking or mountaineering boots protect the foot, reduce strain, and improve grip while walking. When choosing footwear, ensure the boots fit perfectly, have soles with good grip, are waterproof and lightweight.
5. Reliable step is crucial
Falls due to slipping or tripping are the most common causes of accidents. Keep in mind that a too fast walking pace or fatigue greatly affects your step's surety and your concentration. Watch out for falling rocks! With careful walking, you will avoid triggering rockfalls!
6. Stay on marked paths
On unmarked paths, there is a higher risk of losing the route; the danger of falls and rockfalls also increases. Avoid shortcuts. If you find that you are lost, return to the last place where you were still found. Steep slopes with old snow are often underestimated but are very dangerous and easy to slip on.
7. Regular breaks
Regular breaks allow hikers and mountaineers to rest and enjoy the landscape and company. Eat and drink regularly to maintain your strength and concentration. Isotonic drinks are ideal for quenching thirst.
8. Responsibility for children
It is very important for children to discover the landscape in a fun and varied way. On sections of the path where there is a danger of falling, one experienced adult should be responsible for each child. Very demanding hikes requiring prolonged concentration are not suitable for children.
9. Smaller groups
Smaller groups are more adaptable and allow members to help each other. Everyone in your group should be informed about the hike's destination and the route in both directions. The group should stick together. Solo hikers beware: even a minor accident can require serious rescue.
10. Respect for nature and the environment
Protect the natural environment. Do not leave rubbish behind, stay on the path, do not disturb wild or domestic animals, do not touch plants, and respect protected areas. Use public transport or ensure optimal use of private vehicles.
