Behind Planja, on the left, Razor is also visible (2601m). Build path ascends in endless number of sharp bends with fantastic views that get better all the time till it reaches Pogacnikov Dom hut (2050m). At the bottom of the last ascent, in the huge basin, just right of the path is beautiful Spodnje Krisko Jezero (Lower Krisko Lake, 1880m), well worth of a short detour. Hut is 4 hours from the lower station, where you left your car.
Then you continue and follow the signposts for Dovska Vrata, 2180m (pass) and Kriz. You come over the plateau Kriski podi on the Dovska vratca.
Then you continue over the Stenar`s SW slopes on the notch between Kriz and Stenar. One route turn right and reach the Stenar but you turn left and come on the Kriz over the SE ridge. One possibility is also that you cross the SW slopes and then come on the top of Kriz over the NW ridge.
