Path description:
From the parking lot on the mountain pass Vršič we go on a marked path in the direction of Mala Mojstrovka and Slemenova špica. The path quickly splits, and we choose the left path towards Mala Mojstrovka (right - Slemenova špica and Hanza route on Mala Mojstrovka). Next follows a diagonal ascent towards the left, where we at first go still through a lane of bushes, and then we get among dwarf pines and thin larch forest, through which leads a wide, mostly rocky path. After approximately half an hour of ascent, we get to larger scree, where the unmarked path on Šitna glava branches off to the right, and we continue diagonally over the scree. On the other side of the scree we get to a crumbly gully, which is exposed to falling stones. Next follows approximately 15 minutes of a steep and technically a little harder ascent through the gully, which ends on a smaller saddle named Vratca.
Here, where we also reach the ridge, we continue right, and then with the views on Primorska part of Julian Alps we continue the ascent. The path ahead avoids the ridge a little to the left, where there are some iron spikes for help, and then the path splits. Slightly to the left continues a marked path which leads below the ridge and on the ridge continues an unmarked path on Mala Mojstrovka.
The marked path further leads on the scree, on which it is with increasingly beautiful views ascending diagonally.
Few minutes below Mala Mojstrovka we leave the marked path and we continue left towards the saddle between Mala and Velika Mojstrovka, and from the proximity of the saddle, an unmarked path points us into a gully, through which we steeply ascend towards the upper part of Velika Mojstrovka. The slope becomes soon less steep and the path turns right upwards. From here follows only a short ascent on a rocky slope to the eastern peak of Velika Mojstrovka.
From the top, we continue on the ridge in the direction towards the west. After that, the path soon becomes a little more demanding and starts ascending on a slightly crumbly slope on the south side of the ridge. The path on this part is marked with numerous cairns. Next follows an ascent towards the ridge where we soon reach the western peak of Velika Mojstrovka.
From the top, we still continue on a very panoramic ridge. Ridge on the northern side is all the time precipitous, but it is enough wide, so that a walk there doesn't cause bigger problems. Later also the slope becomes a little steeper on the south side of the ridge and then follows also a little steeper ascent on a rocky ridge to the top of Zadnja Mojstrovka.
