Ferrata Jerman

Be advised

Right at the start of the via ferrata, you're immediately met with a challenging section—a vertical climb up the wall that leads to the front of Jerman's waterfall. At this point, you have the option to exit if the difficulty of the D section is already causing problems. Next, you'll cross the stream via a suspension bridge, which leads to the most difficult part of the via ferrata. This section follows the wall on the left side of the waterfall, where the wall is partly overhanging. The staples here are quite sparse, so you'll need to find footholds in the natural rock.

There are also few natural handholds, so you'll be relying heavily on the steel cable. Grip strength is essential at this stage. After this, you'll encounter a very exposed crossing to the right, which leads to the gorge above the waterfall. Another bridge over the stream follows, leading to the final part of the via ferrata, which is once again vertical. The last section is just as intense as the rest of the route.

As you finish the climb, you're rewarded with a wonderful resting spot where you can unwind after the via ferrata.

Near the Hvadnik ferrata, there is another via ferrata, which also runs close to the waterbed. Unlike the Hvadnik via ferrata, this one boasts more challenging terrain and, as a result, higher difficulty grades. The sporty and demanding ferrata Jerm'n requires strength in the arms. However, those who undertake it are rewarded with breathtaking views of Jerman's waterfalls and the majestic peaks of the Martuljek Group.

Park at the sports field in Gozd Martuljek. About 50 meters before the sign for Srednji Vrh, coming from the direction of Jesenice towards Kranjska Gora, turn right onto Finžgarjevo naselje street. The parking lot is located a little further from the intersection.

From the parking lot, continue up the street until you reach a crossroads. Turn left and follow the directional signs. Just before the bridge, you'll see a signpost for the via ferrata.

From the top of the via ferrata, where you can enjoy the view of the Martuljek group from a bench, continue a little further uphill (about 30 meters), then descend to the right. The steep path down is well-marked and well-trodden, but be careful not to slip on large rock or roots. Soon, you'll reach the road where you turn left, heading downhill, and return to the parking lot by retracing the path you took to the start of the via ferrata.
