Zadnjica - Razor

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) and leads you 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).
From the old parking lot, take the road to the left in the direction of Pogačnikov dom na Kriških podih (the road to the right leads to Prehodavci and Dolič). After 15 minutes of further walking, the road leads to the bottom station of the cargo cableway, where it ends.
The ascent continues along a marked footpath (mulatjeri) which climbs moderately through the forest. The path climbs above the valley of the White Stream and quickly leads to very steep slopes (risk of falling rocks), over which a very wide footpath leads. The path then crosses the Veliki Presek ravine, after which you reach a short exposed ledge, which you cross with the help of a rope. The path then returns to the forest, where it climbs moderately in a number of switchbacks. A little further on, the path leads us under a small overhang, where we can see a number of sticks that hikers put up to keep the rock from rolling down into the valley (the sticks are put up more as a joke than for real). The path then crosses a couple of small ravines, and then leads us past a chapel to a larger ravine. With a little care (easy) we cross the aforementioned ravine, after which we climb up to a pleasant resting place (two benches along the way) within a few minutes of further walking. Next, cross another larger ravine (in early summer, the possibility of snowfields), and then the path returns to the forest. Higher up, the forest becomes thinner and the path steeper and more scenic.
The path, which continues to climb along an old mulatier, then passes two more benches and leads to lane of dwarf pines, after which we pass into a rockier world. We continue to climb over small scree fields, along an increasingly scenic path, which leads us higher up to a pleasant little spring.
Only a few 10 steps above the spring, we will come to an unmarked crossroads, where an unmarked path branches off to the right towards Spodnje Kriško jezero (2 minutes), and we continue slightly to the left along a further wide mountain path. The path ahead leads us past small ruins, and we follow it all the way to a marked crossroads where the path from the Vrata valley joins us from the right. Continue to the left and after two minutes of further walking you will reach Pogačnik's home at Kriški podi. From Pogačnik's home, continue in the direction of Razor and Križ along the path, which descends slightly and leads us in a few steps to the next crossroads, where we go left (right Križ). Next, cross to the left over the scree. The path even descends slightly here, and then a rock jump stops the path. Climb it using fixed safety gear and at the top of the jump continue left on a slightly exposed rock slab. On the other side of this slab, you will find yourself on scree again. Continue towards the Planja saddle, where the path from Vršič joins.
From the Planja saddle, take a sharp right (left Planja) along the path, which initially climbs along natural passages, where the path is occasionally only slightly exposed. A little further on, the path leads us past a cave where ice and snow usually stay almost all year round. From the cave onwards, we climb towards a notch, where we have to be careful not to break rocks. A little further on, we reach the place where the new path diverges from the old one. The old trail is permanently closed due to a rock fall in 2013, so turn right onto the beautifully marked new trail, which quickly leads to a short but very difficult climb where, according to the recommendations of the PZS, it is compulsory to use a self-belaying kit. With the help of a rope and crampons we climb the vertical or even overhanging chimney, which is also quite exposed to falling rocks due to the rocks above chimney. When the sheltered part ends, we are only a climb away along the lookout ridge to the top of Razor.
