Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Kranjska Gora, and then we continue driving through the mountain pass Vršič towards Bovec. Soon after 50th zig zag road crosses the river Krajcarica, from where we drive for approximately 1 km to the spot, where branches off to the left with a gate closed forest road. We park few meters before a gate on an appropriate place by the road.
B) We drive to Bovec, and then we continue driving towards Trenta. When we get in Trenta, we will before the center of the settlement notice a forest road which from the main road branches off sharply to the right. At the mentioned crossroad, which is located few 100 meters before the center of Trenta we turn sharply right and then we park on an appropriate place by the road.
Path description:
From a gate, we continue on the forest road, and it is ascending gently and it brings us to a crossroad, by which there is smaller "parking lot". From the crossroad, we continue on the bottom right road following the signs Prehodavci, and we walk there only a short time because then signs lead left in the forest. The path ahead leads us past the house and behind it again starts ascending. Further, we are ascending by the stream Beladovec, on which we can notice some nice smaller waterfalls. During the ascent by the stream, the path gradually becomes less steep, and then turns slightly to the left, where flattens even more. Next follows few minutes of entirely easy walking, and then the path which runs on an old mule track starts moderately ascending in zig-zags. For some time we are still ascending through the forest, after that when we are already high above the stream, also forest gradually starts to get thinner. Next follows few minutes of walking and the path brings us to the hunting cottage in Trebiški dol.
The path ahead still continues on a mule track, and it leads below the ridge of Špičje on the right and Velika glava and Veliki Konj on the left. A moderately steep path which continues through a panoramic valley, a little higher splits into two parts.
We continue on the right path (straight saddle Čez dol, Zadnjica and Zadnjiški Ozebnik, on the latter leads an unmarked footpath) in the direction of Prehodavci. Only few 10 meters higher we get to the next crossing, where joins the path from the saddle Čez dol and Zadnjica. Again we go right and we still continue on a wide mule track, and it further crosses little 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 left (right Lepo or Veliko špičje - path Pot Stanka Kosa, straight Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih) towards the nearby mountain hut Zasavska koča na Prehodavcih. The path ahead leads us on a wide and panoramic ridge and past the winter bivouac in few minutes brings us to the mountain hut Zasavska koča.
From the mountain hut, we continue towards the northeast and at first, we descend a little. The path then brings us to a crossing where right leads the path to a drinking water.
Here the path again starts ascending and crosses slopes above the lake Jezero pod Vršacem. The path then ascends a little steeper and brings us on the saddle between Kanjavec and Vodnikov Vršac.
From the saddle, we continue few ten meters on a marked path which starts descending. We then leave the marked path and go left on pathless terrain. Here we walk on undemanding grassy slope, at orientation we also get help from few cairns. After a short ascent, we come on slopes on the south side of the peak and follows an ascent on a panoramic slope to the top.
Trenta - Zasavska koča 4:15, Zasavska koča - Vršac nad Zadnjico 40 minutes.
