Access to the starting point:
From Kranjska Gora, drive over the Vršič pass towards Bovec or vice versa, but only as far as the 50th serpentine of the Vršiška or Ruska road (near the village of Trenta). Here you turn onto a side road, and then park for a few 100 metres in a roadside parking lot.
Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the road, which takes you past a few houses (mainly on weekends) in about 15 minutes to a place where the road splits into two parts (there used to be a parking lot at the crossroads, but now parking is forbidden).
Continue along the lower right road (the upper road leads to the cargo cableway leading to Pogačnikov dom) in the direction of Dolič, Luknja and Prehodavci. Initially, follow the gently sloping road, which leads us across the meadows and higher up through the forest, almost to its end, or more precisely to a marked crossroads, where a marked footpath branches off to the right towards Prehodavci (it takes about 1 hour to get here).
From the crossroads in the area called Utro, continue straight ahead and the road finally turns into a footpath or mulatier. The ascent continues along the old mulatier, which climbs moderately over occasionally steeper slopes. The climbing route over Komar soon branches off to the right, and we continue straight ahead and continue our ascent along the wide path. The scenic route, which occasionally passes over very steep slopes, leads us higher up to the next marked crossroads.
From the crossroads, turn right (left Luknja and Triglav over Plemenice) and continue in the direction of Koča na Doliču. The wide path continues to climb southwards, crossing the slopes of Zelenic Peak (2468 m). When the slope is slightly flattened, the path over Komar joins us from the right, and we follow the mulatier to the next crossroads, where the path to Zasavska Koča (the path of Mira Marko Debelakova over the Kanjavčeve police) branches off to the right.
Here we continue to the left, and the increasingly scenic and occasionally precipitous path leads us to a crossroads near Koča na Doliču.
Here continue slightly right (left Triglav) along the path which quickly leads to Koča na Doliču (sometimes Tržaška koča na Doliču).
From the hut, continue to the right (westwards) to the nearby winter bivouac, and from there along the marked mountain path towards Kanjavac. From the bivouac onwards, the trail gently descends, then begins to climb the slopes of Kanjavca. After about 1 hour's walk from Koča na Doliču, the beautifully paved stone path leads to a short, more difficult part. Further on, we climb over a rock jump using the fixed safety gear. The ascent is relatively difficult as the short part of the route is very steep. Above the jump, the path lays down and leads us just a little further on to a scenic peak. From the top of Kanjavac, follow the marked path down to the saddle separating the western and eastern peaks, and then climb to the western peak in a few minutes on the less well-trodden, unmarked path.
