Access to the starting point:
From Kranjska Gora, drive over the Vršič pass towards Bovec or vice versa, but only as far as the 49th serpentine of the vršiška road (near the village of Trenta). Here, take a side road towards the source of the Soča River. After a short climb, the road quickly leads us to a parking area in front of a hut at the source of the Soča River, but we continue to the left over a bridge and follow the road to a parking area at the end of the road (at the parking area, we see the mountain signs for Bavški Grintavec, the waterfalls of the Suhega potok and Jalovec).
Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the road, which is closed with a barrier in the direction of Bavški Grintavec. Continue slightly left along the road that runs along the bed of the Suhega brook, and to the right is the path towards Zavetišče pod Špičkom and Jalovec. Walk along the road for a while and then cross the stream. When crossing, you have to be a bit more attentive as the path is not visible here. On the other side, however, you can see a wooden post with signposts. On the other side, the path first leads past a few private houses and then passes through the woods on the left side of the riverbed for some time. Further along the path you will also see a number of fallen trees, the result of avalanches. A little later the path leads us to a marked crossroads where the path to Zapotok waterfalls branches off to the left and we continue to the right in the direction of Bavški Grintavec.
The path then quickly leads us to the bed of a torrent where the trail again becomes somewhat lost. Continue along the stream for a few metres, then cross it slightly to the right and head towards the second stream bed, which you can see slightly to the right. Start climbing along the left-hand side of this stream and the path becomes more visible again. After a short climb, the path leaves the stream and turns sharply to the left.
Here you first cross slopes covered with bushes and dwarf pines, and then the path leads you into a sparse forest. The path climbs steeply from time to time, and in the shorter part we are also helped by a few wedges, which help us to reach a lookout point where a cross is also placed. The slopes that we cross become steeper and some caution is needed. The path here crosses a few short steep ravines and occasionally the fixed safety gear are also helpful.
Further on, the path mostly passes through the forest, but occasionally we still get beautiful views of the peaks above Zadnja Trenta.
We continue to climb mostly crosswise over steep slopes, and a little higher up the path we also get a view towards the Zapotoški waterfalls.
The path soon gives way to the steep slopes above the valley and leads us through the forest to Mountain pasture Zapotok. On the mountain pasture, which has long since ceased to be active, we continue to the shepherd's hut, and on the left hand side below the hut we will also notice a stream which springs up nearby.
