Erjavčeva koča na Vršiču - Slemenova špica

Access to starting point:
From Kranjska Gora on the road which leads over the mountain pass Vršič we drive towards Bovec or vice versa. Between 22th and 23th hairpin turn of Vršič road we will get to the parking lot below the mountain hut Erjavčeva koča, where we park.

Path description:
From the mountain hut Erjavčeva koča na Vršiču or from the parking lot at the mountain hut we at first carefully cross the main road, and then we continue on a footpath in the direction of Slemenova špica, Mala Mojstrovka on Hanza route and Dom v Tamarju. Wide and well-beaten, mostly rocky path then at first ascends to the last zig zag on Kranjska Gora side, where it turns a little to the right and is further relatively steeply ascending. During the ascent path leads through lanes of dwarf pines and among rare larches. With nice views on Špik group, Škrlatica, Prisojnik, Vršič... we soon reach the crossing, where we join even a little more visited path from the mountain pass Vršič.
Here we continue right and past few meters distant viewpoint in few minutes ascend on a saddle Vratca (1799 meters), where there is the next marked crossing.
Left continues secured climbing path on Mala Mojstrovka and unmarked path towards Sleme, to the right unmarked but well-beaten path towards Prednje Robičje branches off, and in the direction of straight continues normal path towards Sleme and Slemenova špica.
Next follows a short part of the path, where we cross slopes below Prednje Robičje, and then the path gradually starts descending towards the slopes above the valley Mala Pišnica. When we reach the mentioned slopes, the path turns left and then continues with some shorter ascents and descents. In dry undemanding path a little further brings us to a crossing, where from the right joins the marked path from Tamar through Grlo and also unmarked path through Mala Pišnica.
We continue in the direction of Slemenova špica, on the path which is still crossing slopes high above Mala Pišnica. With nice views, which reaches all the way to the nearby Italy and Austria we soon get to slopes of Slemenova špica, where slope, but not the path flattens. Next follows a short ascent, and then we get to a poorly marked crossing, where we continue slightly right (straight leads the path towards Tamar - path past Črne vode (even if we continue straight it is still possible to come on Slemenova špica)). After few minutes of additional ascent the path entirely flattens, and in front of us, we notice a smaller lakes and to all known view towards Jalovec. We bypass the lakes on the right side, or where we want, and then past the inscription box in few minutes we ascend on panoramic and precipitous peak of Slemenova špica.
