Zadnjica - Zasavska koča na Prehodavcih (via Mira Marko Debelak)

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).
From the crossing, we at first descend few meters and we cross a rocky slope towards the wall of Kanjavec, where we then enter on the ledge. At the entrance on the ledge and also later on the path, also in the late summer snow fields are still possible. In the case of snow fields we have to use ice axe and crampons.
At the crossing on the ledge even some more caution is needed, because on the path, there is quite a lot of gravel, and the path is also a little less secured. The path otherwise all the time crosses exposed slopes towards the west, and in doing so it crosses quite a few gullies and bypasses numerous vertical columns. On some spots, the path also slightly ascends and descends, and then again follows a crossing.
From the path is all the time a nice view towards the valley Zadnjica below us and on mountains above the valley. The path further still runs on ledges and natural passages in the direction towards Vršac, which we can see in front of us for some time. The path on this part also few times slightly ascends, and then it brings us on slopes on the eastern side of Vodnikov Vršac.
Here ledges end and then follows a little steeper ascent towards the saddle between Kanjavec and Vodnikov Vršac. From the saddle, we then descend on the other side and we in descent cross a slope above the lake Jezero pod Vršacem. When we bypass the lake, the path brings us to a crossing where left leads the path to a drinking water. Here the path again starts ascending and to the mountain hut on Prehodavci, which we already see in front of us there is only few minutes of walking.
