Zadnjica - Veliko Špičje

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 the crossing on an area named Utro we continue right (straight Luknja, Triglav and Dolič), where at first we cross partly already vegetated gravel terrain and few torrents. After few minutes of crossing with some shorter ascents and descents we get to the beginning of Zadnjiški dol. Here the path starts moderately ascending on the right side of the valley. Higher, the path turns a little more to the right, where for some time leads in the forest and then returns on more rocky terrain. The path ahead brings us to a well, by which there is a smaller bench, on which we can take a rest. The further path is for some time moderately to steeply ascending and gradually passes on the scree below Zadnjiški Ozebnik. With a view on the nearby walls of surrounding peaks, we then ascend on a saddle Čez Dol, where the path flattens and splits into two parts.
At the mentioned crossing, we continue left in the direction of the mountain hut Zasavska koča na Prehodavcih (straight Trenta) and we further ascend on the path which continues over quite steep and in parts exposed slope. This a little narrower path, we then follow to the nearby crossing, where we join the mule track from Trenta.
(If a short little exposed part seems too dangerous, we can to the mentioned crossing come also on a little longer path. In this case on previous crossing we continue straight in the direction of Trenta and then a little further left in the direction of Prehodavci.
At the mentioned crossing, we continue straight and further we are ascending on a wide mule track, which crosses a steep and precipitous slopes. During the ascent over precipitous slope we will notice on the left side smaller "chapel" (statue of Mary with Jesus).
Further, the slope becomes on which runs the path less steep and more and more panoramic. Higher well-preserved mule track leads over a little less steep slope of Zelena griva, and above it, the slope becomes again steeper. Next follows few shorter steep parts, and then the path and also slope flatten out. A little above an indistinct slope break we get to a marked crossing, where we continue right in the direction of Lepo or Veliko špičje - path Pot Stanka Kosa, (left mountain hut Zasavska koča on Prehodavci 5 minutes, straight Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih)
The path ahead is at first gently, after that steeply ascending towards the summit of Malo Špičje. The marked path only few 10 strides below Malo Špičje turns left and continues on in parts exposed ridge of Špičje. Very panoramic path which runs on and by the ridge few times descends and then again ascends. This path, which is occasionally also technically a little more demanding, a little below the summit joins also the path from the mountain hut Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih. We continue on the right path, which we then follow to a panoramic summit.
