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).
Rough road here changes into a wide military mule track, which at first crosses a stream and then for a short time ascends through the forest. Out of the forest path brings us on a grassy terrain where there is also a little poorly marked crossing. Military mule track here turns to the left, caption “Komar” on rock points us straight on a narrow footpath which through a meadow leads towards a smaller stream. After that, the path crosses a stream and starts ascending on a steep slope towards the chapel, which we can already see in front of us. At the chapel, the path then turns right and also with the help of some steel cables in an ascent crosses a steep slope towards the west. The path then brings us to a torrent gully through which we then with the help of fixed safety gear ascending left upwards. After a short ascent, we leave the gully and go right on a narrow secured ledge, which brings us on a steep north slopes. Next follows some steep ascents by the steel cable and then the path turns a little to the left and starts in a gentle ascent crossing an exposed slopes. Such a path brings us in one more torrent gully through which we then ascending with the help of fixed safety gear. This time we leave the gully on the left side, after that follows a short crossing by the steel cable, which brings us on less steep slopes covered with dwarf pines and bushes.
Further with nice views towards Pihavec and Zadnjiški Ozebnik we are ascending mostly through dwarf pines. Such a path brings us on grassy slopes, and in the upper part, the path becomes more and more covered with a gravel. When we get very close to a walls of Kanjavec path turns to the left and then follows a shorter ascent to a crossing where we join the normal path which leads on a military mule track.
A little higher, 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 scenic 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).
