Zadnjica - Koča na Doliču (via Komar)

Access to starting point:
From Kranjska Gora, drive over 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 after a few hundred meters we park at the parking lot by the roadside.

Route description:
From the paid parking lot in Zadnjica valley, continue on the marked path, initially the road towards Pogačnikov dom na Kriških podih, Razor, Stenar, Križ, Bovški Gamsovec, Luknja, Triglav, Koča na Doliču and Kanjavec. The path initially leads past some houses or cottages and after about 15 minutes of walking reaches a marked junction where there used to be free parking, but now parking is prohibited.
Continue on the slightly right lower road towards Zasavska koča na Prehodavcih, Koča na Doliču, Luknja and other nearby objectives (left Pogačnikov dom na Kriških podih and other goals above Kriških podih and lower station of the cargo cable car to Kriških podih), where the easy road leads across scenic meadows, higher through forest. Just before the end of the forest road at Planja junction or before the valley head in the area named Utro, a marked path to Prehodavci branches right.
Continue straight on the road, which soon becomes a footpath or old military mule track, along which we mostly ascend moderately on gradually steeper slopes. Still in the forest, where the mule track turns left, the climbing path via Komar branches right or straight.
The "Komar" inscription on the rock directs straight to a narrow path across the meadow towards a small stream. The path then crosses the stream and ascends the steep slope towards the chapel visible ahead. At the chapel, the path turns right and with the help of some cables ascends crossing the steep slope westwards. The path then reaches a gully along which with protections we ascend left upwards. After short ascent we leave the gully and turn right to a narrow secured ledge leading to steep northern slopes. Follow several steep sections with cable, then the path turns slightly left and traverses exposed slopes in gentle ascent. This brings us to another gully along which we ascend with protections. This time leave the gully left, then short traverse with cable to less steep slopes covered with dwarf pines and bushes.
Continuing with fine views to Pihavec and Zadnjiški Ozebnik, ascend mostly through dwarf pines. The path reaches grassy slopes, upper part increasingly scree. Approaching Kanjavec walls, path turns left with short ascent to junction joining the normal path on the military mule track.
Continue on mule track, further right branches Mira Marko Debelak path (path over Kanjavec ledges). The scenic path makes more serpentines higher, left branches path to Triglav.
Continue straight to quickly reach Koča na Doliču.
