Access to starting point:
We drive from Kranjska Gora over mountain pass Vršič towards Bovec or vice versa, but only to 50th hairpin turn of Vršič road or Ruska cesta (near the village Trenta). Here we turn on a side road, by which we after few 100 meters park on a parking lot by the road.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the road, and which past few houses (mainly holiday cottages) in approximately 15 minutes brings us to the spot, where the road splits into two parts (by the crossroad used to be a parking lot, today it is forbidden to park).
We continue on the bottom right road (on the upper road we get to a cargo cableway, which runs on Pogačnikov dom) in the direction of Dolič, Luknja and Prehodavci. At first, a gentle road which leads us through scenic meadows, higher through the forest, we follow almost to its end, or more precisely to a marked crossing, where a marked footpath towards Prehodavci branches off to the right (to here we need approximately 1 hour).
From a crossing at an area named Utro we continue straight, the road here finally changes into a footpath or mule track. We continue the ascent on an old mule track, which is further moderately ascending over occasionally steeper slopes. Further, climbing path over Komar soon branches off to the right, and we go straight and we still continue the ascent on a wide path. Panoramic path, which occasionally runs over very steep slopes, higher brings us to the next marked crossing.
From the crossing, we go right (left Luknja and Triglav over Plemenice) and we continue in the direction of the mountain hut Koča na Doliču. Still a wide path further starts ascending towards the south and crosses slopes of Vrh Zelenic (2468 meters). When the slope flattens a little from the right joins the path over Komar, and we follow the mule track to the next crossing, where the path towards the mountain hut Zasavska koča branches off to the right (path Pot Mire Marko Debelakove over Kanjavčeve police).
Here we continue left and more panoramic and occasionally precipitous path brings us to a crossing near the mountain hut Koča na Doliču.
Here we continue slightly right (left Triglav) on the path which quickly brings us to the mountain hut Koča na Doliču (sometimes Tržaška koča na Doliču).
From the mountain hut, we go on the path towards Hribarice, lakes Triglavska jezera, Planika and Vodnikov dom, and after good 100 meters it brings us to a saddle Dolič, where there is the next crossing. We go slightly right following the signs lakes Triglavska jezera (left mountain hut Dom Planika pod Triglavom, straight mountain hut Vodnikov dom na Velem polju) on the path which starts at first slightly, and then steeper ascending towards Hribarice. On marked path we walk to the spot, where it brings us below the mountain walls of Mišeljski konec. The marked path towards Hribarice here turns to the right, and we go left on unmarked, but in the beginning still well-beaten path. A poorly visible footpath soon turns to the right and starts quite steeply ascending on the scree towards smaller saddle between Mišeljska glava (2273 meters) and Mišeljski konec (2464 meters).
From the saddle, we then descend approximately ten meters on the other side and then we turn to the left, where we in a gentle descent cross a slope below Mišeljska glava. Next follows a short little harder ascent over steep and slightly crumbly slope. Then we still stick to the right (south) side of the ridge, which in shorter ascents and descents brings us on a grassy peak Na Nizkem (2295 meters).
From the top, we descend a little and then follows also steep ascent on a slightly exposed ridge towards the summit of Mišelj vrh.
