Access to starting point:
From Kranjska Gora over mountain pass Vršič we drive towards Bovec or vice versa, but only to 49th hairpin turn of Vršič road (near the village Trenta). Here we go on a side road in the direction of source of river Soča. The road after a shorter ascent quickly brings us to the parking lot before the mountain hut Koča pri izviru Soče, but we continue left over a bridge and follow the road ahead to the parking lot at the end of the road (by parking lot we notice signposts for Bavški Grintavec, waterfalls of Suhi potok and Jalovec).
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the road which is closed with a gate and already after few ten meters, we come to a crossing.
We go right towards Jalovec and Zavetišče pod Špičkom. The path quickly passes into a dense forest, where it starts ascending steeply. Steep path, which almost all the time runs through the forest, after approximately hour and a half of walking, it brings us to a crossing, where we continue on the left path in the direction of the cottage Zavetišče pod Špičkom (right Jalovec, Mali kot and Jalovška škrbina, both paths are marked). The path ahead for some time slightly flattens, and then again starts ascending steeply, this time through occasionally thinner forest. Higher forest becomes even thinner and from the path nice views are starting to open up on surrounding peaks. And only a little further we get to a marked crossing, where a marked but poorly beaten path on Bavški Grintavec branches off to the left.
We go left on the mentioned path and we cross the slopes towards the southwest. The path here mostly runs by dwarf pines and rare larches. For a short time then the path turns slightly to the right where we cross a shorter steep slope. A poorly beaten path then again crosses slopes, and in front of us, we can clearly see the ridge of peaks from Vršac to Veliki Pelc. The path further is slightly descending and leads us towards wide gully on the left side of Vršac. When we come into the mentioned gully we again start ascending steeper. At first the path runs on the right side and then follows an ascent on the left side of the gully, which is grassy. Higher when we get closer to steep rocky slopes, the path turns firmly to the left. Next follows an ascent on a slightly overgrown gully and then the path turns left and starts ascending on a steep and exposed terrain. The path here is very badly beaten and is vegetated with grass and other vegetation, so especially in wet it is very dangerous for slipping. The path also isn't secured therefore even a little more caution is needed.
Such a path then brings us on less steep grassy slopes on the southeastern side of Vršac. Here we leave the marked path and we go slightly right towards the slopes of Vršac. The marked path is here very poorly visible and runs slightly left and later starts descending.
Further, we are ascending on a grassy slope on SSE side of the mountain. We are all the time ascending on a grassy slope and we are choosing less steep passages. Higher on a short section the grassy slope becomes very steep and especially in wet it is very dangerous for slipping. The steepness then decreases and we soon reach the main ridge of the mountain. We continue on a grassy ridge, which is otherwise slightly exposed, but enough wide that it ascent doesn't cause any bigger problems. On such ridge we then soon reach the panoramic peak.
We can descend on the ascent route or on a little easier variant, by continuing along the ridge to a smaller notch and then we descend left towards the cirque Srednjica. On the scree we then return to grassy slopes below Vršac. On the marked path it is recommended to return approximately at the spot where also left it at the ascent. Because lower in the direction of southwest the slopes are steeper.
