Zadnjica - Kanjavec (via Dolič)

Access to starting point:
From Kranjska Gora, drive over Vršič Pass towards Bovec or vice versa, but only to the 50th hairpin turn of the Vršič or Russian Road (near the village of Trenta). Here we turn onto a side road, along which we park after a few hundred meters at the parking lot by the road.

Route description:
From the paid parking lot in the Zadnjica valley, continue on the marked path, initially along the road towards Pogačnikov dom na Kriških podih, Razor, Stenar, Križ, Bovški Gamsovec, Luknja, Triglav, Koča na Doliču and Kanjavec. The path first leads past a few houses or weekend cottages and after about 15 minutes of walking brings us to a marked junction where there used to be free parking, but now parking is prohibited here.
Continue along the slightly lower right road towards Zasavska koča na Prehodavcih, Koča na Doliču, Luknja and other nearby objectives (left Pogačnikov dom na Kriških podih and other goals above Kriške pode and the lower station of the cargo cableway to Kriške pode), where a gentle road leads us further through scenic meadows, higher through the forest. Just before the end of the forest road at the Planja junction or before the head of the valley in the area called Utro, a marked path branches off to the right towards Prehodavci.
Continue straight along the road, which soon changes into a footpath or old military mule track, along which we mostly ascend moderately on gradually steeper slopes. Still in the forest, a climbing path via Komar branches off to the right, we continue along the mule track, which ascends in numerous hairpin turns, and due to the steep slopes above us, parts of the path are exposed to falling rocks.
The fairly scenic path brings us at an altitude of about 1500 meters to the next junction, where the path to Koča na Doliču branches off to the right, straight ahead the path continues towards Luknja, Pogačnikov dom na Kriških podih and Triglav via Plemenice.
Continue right towards Koča na Doliču and continue ascending along the mule track (towards Luknja also a mule track leads).
Further on we mostly ascend moderately along the mule track, which leads across steep and occasionally exposed precipitous slopes. Since the path is wide and well constructed it is technically not demanding, but it is exposed to falling rocks and due to occasional deep views mostly not suitable for vertigo sufferers. The path occasionally makes a few hairpin turns, otherwise it ascends transversely to the right most of the time, thus approaching the mighty wall of Kanjavec more and more.
Higher up, a climbing path from Zadnjica via Komar joins from the right, a little further the path of Mire Marko Debelak (path via Kanjavčeve police) branches off to the right. The increasingly scenic path higher up makes a few more hairpin turns, from it a path towards Triglav branches off to the left.
Continue straight, then quickly arrive at Koča na Doliču.
At the hut the path forks, we continue right downhill towards Kanjavec, where we descend towards the west (straight sedlo Dolič and Dom Planika pod Triglavom, Vodnikov dom na Velem polju, Hribarice...) and follow the marked alpine path. The descent ends quickly and we begin to ascend the rocky slopes of Kanjavec, with wider views opening with each step. Higher the path leads through a series of several indistinct valleys, above them we ascend transversely across a scree to the technically demanding part, where some fixed protections assist us. With the help of fixed protections we then ascend above the rock jump, the steepest part of the ascent is quite difficult as on a short section the path is very steep.
Above the jump the steepness eases and we join a technically easier path that leads over sedlo Hribarice.
Here we go right and quickly reach the panoramic summit of Kanjavec.
