Vršič - Zadnja Mojstrovka (via Šitna glava)

Access to starting point:
From Kranjska Gora we drive towards Bovec or vice versa, but only to the Vršič pass, where we park.

Route description:
From the parking lot at the Vršič pass we head onto the marked path in the direction of Mala Mojstrovka and Slemenova špica. The path quickly branches, and we choose the left path towards Mala Mojstrovka (to the right is Slemenova špica and Hanzova pot to Mala Mojstrovka). This is followed by a traverse ascent to the left, where we initially still go through a belt of shrubs, then we arrive among dwarf pines and sparse larch forest, through which a wide, mostly stony path leads. After approximately half an hour of ascent we arrive at a larger scree field, where an unmarked path branches off to the right to Šitna glava, while straight ahead the marked path continues towards Mala Mojstrovka.
We continue the ascent along the unmarked path, which leads us in a slight traverse ascent to the right towards the slopes of Šitna glava. The relatively well visible trail soon brings us into an indistinct little valley between Mala Mojstrovka and Šitna glava. Here the path turns somewhat left and ascends a bit more steeply on an increasingly stony slope. When the path is already quite close to the summit, it turns right, crosses a partially overgrown scree field and then ascends to the grassy summit of Šitna glava.
From Šitna glava we continue along the ridge to the west, initially slightly downhill, then uphill in the direction of Mojstrovka (unmarked). The poorly visible trail along which we continue to ascend brings us after a good 20 minutes of walking from Šitna glava to the place where we join the Hanzova pot to Mojstrovka, which we reach above a very demanding section.
Further on the orientation is easier, the path however is increasingly steep. After a few more minutes the steepness eases and the path brings us to flatter terrain, which we bypass on the right side. Further the path approaches the ridge, and we see Mangart and Jalovec in front of us. Here the path turns slightly left and brings us to the next steep section, where with the help of a few pitons, but mainly without protection we climb up the steep summit slope of Mala Mojstrovka to its panoramic summit.
From Mala Mojstrovka we continue in the direction towards Velika Mojstrovka. First we descend a little and head onto the path that leads slightly right towards the saddle between both Mojstrovkas. The path then crosses a scree field and begins to traverse in ascent the steep southern slopes below Velika Mojstrovka. The slope soon becomes less steep and the path turns right upwards. From here only a short ascent on a rocky slope follows to the eastern summit of Velika Mojstrovka.
From the eastern summit we continue along the ridge in the direction towards the west. The path then soon becomes somewhat more demanding and begins to ascend on a slightly crumbly slope on the southern side of the ridge. The path is marked on this section with numerous cairns. This is followed by an ascent towards the ridge where we soon reach the western summit of Velika Mojstrovka.
Also from the western summit we continue further along a very panoramic ridge. The ridge is precipitous on the northern side all the way, but it is wide enough so that walking along it does not present major difficulties. Later the slope on the southern side of the ridge also becomes somewhat steeper and a somewhat steeper ascent follows along the rocky ridge to the summit of Zadnja Mojstrovka.
