Zadnjica - Koča na Doliču

Access to starting point:
From Kranjska Gora, drive over the Vršič Pass towards Bovec or vice versa, but only to the 50th hairpin turn of the Vršič or Russian road (near the village of Trenta). Here, turn onto the side road, along which we park after a few hundred meters at the parking lot by the road.

Route description:
From the paid parking lot in the Zadnjica valley, continue along the marked trail, initially along the road in the direction of Pogačnikov dom na Kriških podih, Razor, Stenar, Križ, Bovški Gamsovec, Luknja, Triglav, Koča na Doliču and Kanjavec. The path first leads past a few houses or weekend cottages and after about 15 minutes of walking brings us to a marked junction where there used to be free parking, but now parking is prohibited here.
Continue along the slightly right lower road towards Zasavska koča na Prehodavcih, Koča na Doliču, Luknja and other nearby destinations (left to Pogačnikov dom na Kriških podih and other goals above Kriških podih and the lower station of the cargo cableway to Kriških podih), where a gentle road continues through scenic meadows, higher up through the forest. Just before the end of the forest road at the Planja junction or before the head of the valley in the area called Utro, a marked trail branches right towards Prehodavci.
Continue straight along the road, which soon turns into a footpath or old military mule track, along which we mostly ascend moderately on gradually steeper slopes. Still in the forest, a climbing path branches right over Komar, we continue along the mule track which then ascends in numerous serpentines, and due to the steep slopes above us parts of the path are exposed to falling rocks.
The fairly scenic path brings us at an elevation of about 1500 meters to the next junction, where the path to Koča na Doliču branches right, straight ahead the path continues towards Luknja, Pogačnikov dom na Kriških podih and Triglav over Plemenice.
Continue right towards Koča na Doliču and continue ascending along the mule track (also towards Luknja there is a mule track).
Further on we mostly ascend moderately along the mule track which leads across steep and occasionally exposed sheer slopes. Since the path is wide and well laid out it is not technically demanding, but exposed to falling rocks and due to occasional deep vistas mostly not suitable for vertigo sufferers. The path occasionally makes a few serpentines, otherwise it ascends diagonally to the right most of the time so that we gradually approach the mighty wall of Kanjavec.
Higher up a climbing path from Zadnjica over Komar joins from the right, a little further the path of Mire Marko Debelakova (path over Kanjavčeve police) branches right. The increasingly scenic path higher up makes a few more serpentines, from it a path towards Triglav branches left.
Continue straight ahead, then quickly arrive at Koča na Doliču.
