Route No. 1 in the Rother Hiking Guide High TatrasRoadbook
Above the car park, the green-marked hiking trail leads along (entry somewhat difficult to find); follow this to the houses of Tri Studnicky. From there continue on the green-marked trail and through the forest uphill to a ridge. At about 2,300 m elevation, you reach the blue-marked trail coming from Krivansky slab on the opposite side of the valley. From here, steeply continue uphill over partly smooth slabs to the summit.
The descent in the upper part is via the ascent route, then continue following the blue marking (towards Strbske Pleso). At the lake Jamske Pleso, change to the red-marked trail and return over bush-covered slopes to the starting point.
