Zadnjica - Vodnikov Vršac (Vršac nad Zadnjico)

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 Doliča, 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 to the right (straight ahead to Luknja, Triglav and Dolič), where you first cross partly vegetated gravel and a few torrents. After a few minutes of crossing with some short ascents and descents, we reach the beginning of the Last Dol. Here the path starts to climb moderately on the right side of the valley. Higher up, the path turns slightly more to the right, where it takes us into the woods and then returns to a rockier world. The way forward leads us to a small well, next to which there is a small bench on which we can rest. The path continues to climb moderately to steeply for some time and gradually passes onto the scree below Zadnjiškim Ozebnikom. With a view of the nearby walls of the surrounding peaks, we then climb to the saddle Čez Dol, where the trail lays down and splits into two parts.
At this crossroads, continue left in the direction of Zasavska koča na Prehodavcih (straight ahead Trenta) and continue up the path, which continues over a rather steep and sometimes exposed slope. Follow this slightly narrower path to a nearby crossroads, where you join the mulatier from Trenta.
(If we find the short, slightly exposed part too dangerous, we can also take a slightly longer route to reach this crossroads. In this case, at the previous crossroads, continue straight on in the direction of Trenta and then a little further to the left in the direction of Prehodavci).
At this crossroads, continue straight ahead and continue climbing along the wide mulatier, which crosses steep and precipitous slopes. As you climb over the precipitous slope, you will see a small "chapel" (statue of Mary and Jesus) on the left-hand side.
The slope becomes less steep and more scenic as the route continues. Higher up, a well-preserved mulatier leads us over the slightly less steep slope of Zelena Griva, and above it the slope becomes steeper again. There are a few short steep sections, and then the path and the slope fall away. A little above the unmarked break, you reach a marked crossroads, where you continue left (right Lepo or Veliko špičje - the path of Stank Kos, straight Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih) towards the nearby Zasavska hut on Prehodavci. The way forward leads us along a wide and scenic ridge, which leads us past the winter bivouac in a few minutes to the Zasavska hut.

From the hut, continue north-eastwards and initially descend slightly. The path then leads us to a crossroads where a path to the right leads to drinking water.
Here the path begins to climb again and crosses the slopes above Jezero pod Vršacem. The path then climbs a little steeper and leads us to the saddle between Kanjavec and Vodnik's Vršac.

From the saddle, continue for a few more tens of metres along the marked path, which begins to descend. Leave the marked path and turn left onto a trackless path. Here you walk on an easy grassy slope, with some cairns to help you find your way. After a short climb, you reach the slopes on the south side of the summit and then climb up the scenic slope to the summit.
