Access to the starting point:
From Kranjska Gora, drive over the Vršič pass towards Bovec or vice versa, but only as far as the 50th serpentine of the Vršiška or Ruska road (near the village of Trenta). Here you turn onto a side road, and then park for a few 100 metres in a roadside parking lot.
Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the road, which takes you past a few houses (mainly on weekends) in about 15 minutes to a place where the road splits into two parts (there used to be a parking lot at the crossroads, but now parking is forbidden).
Continue along the lower right road (the upper road leads to the cargo cableway leading to Pogačnikov dom) in the direction of Dolič, Luknja and Prehodavci. Initially, follow the gently sloping road, which leads us across the meadows and higher up through the forest, almost to its end, or more precisely to a marked crossroads, where a marked footpath branches off to the right towards Prehodavci (it takes about 1 hour to get here).
From the crossroads in the area called Utro, continue straight ahead and the road finally turns into a footpath or mulatier. The ascent continues along the old mulatier, which climbs moderately over occasionally steeper slopes. The climbing route over Komar soon branches off to the right, and we continue straight ahead and continue our ascent along the wide path. The scenic route, which occasionally passes over very steep slopes, leads us higher up to the next marked crossroads.
From the crossroads, turn left in the direction of Pogačnik's home, Luknja and Triglav (to the right, Koča na Doliču). From the crossroads, the military mulatto leads us eastwards and crosses steep slopes. Later, the path climbs a few times in the keys, and then crosses again in a gentle ascent up to the Luknja saddle.
At the saddle where there is a crossroads, continue right in the direction Triglava. To the left the path leads to Bovški Gamsovec, and straight down towards Aljaž's home in Vrata.
The trail becomes very difficult and starts to climb almost vertically at the beginning along the steel cable. Once over the initial wall, the route becomes slightly flatter, but this does not mean that the difficulties are over. From here on fixed safety gear is almost non-existent and occasionally we walk on the path over a deep abyss. In the wet there is a high risk of slipping! The problems then slowly ease and the path turns slightly to the left and leads us to a ridge from where we have a view to the east. Continue along the ridge and the path soon becomes slightly more difficult again. With the help of a rope and a number of pegs, you climb steeply a couple of times, followed by a short steep descent. Here, a view opens up to the left towards the famous Sphinx (the steepest pillar in the Triglav region).
The path becomes less steep and leads over scratchy terrain. The track is slightly less visible in this part, but runs to the left of Glava v Zaplanji and Morbegna, which can be seen ahead. There may be some snow on this part of the trail, even in summer, but it is not steep, so a snowshoe is not necessary.
The trail then leads us to a crossroads on the West Triglav plateau, where we continue to the right (Triglav on the left, Dolič slightly to the right) along an unmarked trail, which after a further 10-minute walk leads us to Morbegna. From Morbegna to the top, we have only two minutes to climb up the top slope of Glave in Zaplanja.
