Route description

Jerm’n ferrata climbs beside the Jerman waterfalls above Gozd Martuljek. Water and rock remain close: progress follows fixed protection, while bridges change the gorge side and the view of the cascade. After the protected ascent, the passage reaches the Hladnik stream side. Its compact extent contains a technically serious programme. The tourism authority gives D difficulty, with E sections. Jerm’n requires ferrata skills and strong physical preparation; a short approach does not make it an ordinary waterfall walk. The protected path is closed from 31 October to 1 April. Check current admission and choose the descent beforehand; the full return to parking is outside this version.

Getting there

Варианты и важные моменты Show on map
Without a car
A scheduled service directly to the ferrata entrance is unconfirmed. Arrange arrival in Gozd Martuljek and the walking approach beforehand, allowing time to return from the Hladnik-side ending.
By car
The official description places the entrance beside the Gozd Martuljek–Srednji Vrh road before the bridge over Jerman Stream. Leave a car at permitted lower parking; the ferrata ascent does not provide vehicle access.
Parking
The tourism authority identifies parking beside the Gozd Martuljek sports ground. Check current conditions and the entrance location. Keep the narrow road beside the bridge clear.
