Approach (1 – 1.5h)

• Start from Aljaž Lodge in Vrata Valley (1015 m).
• Follow the Prag trail for about 1 – 1.5 hours.
• Reach the base of the North Face and find the start of the German Route.

Climbing (5 – 8h)

• The first section is a traverse that is the same as in Slovene route. It works as a test to see how the rest of the route will go.
• The next part is characterized by climbing or scrambling up slabs and corners, with difficulties up to III+.
• We pass some iconic sections, like Grad (Castle).
• Middle part follows a snow gully that in the late part of the season can be dry.
• The upper section normally leads to the short german route variation,which takes us through a crux of the route that i the guidebook goes at IV-. It is a zig-zag pitch on which the first and last bit are the hardest. After the last mantle on the ledge we continue without difficulties to the old Triglav glacier plateau.
• If you decide prior and your fitness level and skill level are up to par, we will follow the wide arete of the so called Long German route that allows you to finish on the top of Triglav.

Descent (2 – 3h)

• Follow the marked trail towards Kredarica Hut (2515 m).
• From Kredarica, descend via the Tominšek or Prag route back to Vrata Valley.
