Located above the picturesque alpine town of Mojstrana, nestled at the entrance of the Vrata valley, lie two adventurous via ferrata routes leading up to the summit of Grančišče peak at 844m. Along the way, you’ll be treated to breathtaking vistas of the Julian Alps and Karawanks. In this guide, we’ll focus on Aljaževa pot, which is the more accessible of the two paths.

Access
We reach the town of Mojstrana, located between Kranjska Gora and Jesenice, accessible via road 201 and a scenic bike path adjacent to it, safely separated from vehicular traffic. Paid parking facilities are conveniently located near the Slovenian Alpine Museum, from where you can also rent via ferrata equipment.
Approach to start
Proceed along the main road for approximately two minutes, then take a sharp right turn, following the signs indicating the via ferrata route.
The route
Constructed to modern specifications, the route ascends to the summit of Grančišče (844 m) and intersects with the more challenging variant, Pot mojstranških veveric, on several occasions. The endpoint of the route and the summit are distinguished by a miniature Aljaž tower (Aljažev stolp), housing a logbook within.
Descent
Follow the trail markings and return to the starting point in approximately 30 minutes. Avoid descending via any of the via ferrata routes.
