Zadnjica - Luknja

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 after a few hundred meters we park at a paid parking lot by the road.

Route description:
From the paid parking lot in the Zadnjica Valley, continue along the marked path, initially along the road towards Pogačnikov dom on Kriške Pode, 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 a free parking lot, but parking is now prohibited here.
Continue along the slightly right lower road towards Zasavska koča on Prehodavci, Koča na Doliču, Luknja and other nearby destinations (left to Pogačnikov dom on Kriške Pode and other destinations above Kriške Pode and the lower station of the cargo cableway to Kriške Pode), where the gentle road continues through scenic meadows, higher up 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 right towards Prehodavci.
Continue straight along the road, which soon turns into a hiking path or old military mule track, along which we mostly ascend moderately on increasingly steeper slopes. Still in the forest, a climbing path branches right over Komar, but 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 also exposed to falling rocks.
The fairly scenic path brings us at about 1500 meters above sea level to the next junction, where the path to Koča na Doliču branches right, and we continue straight towards Luknja, Pogačnikov dom on Kriške Pode and Triglav via Plemenice.
We continue ascending along the mule track, which leads above Koriti, and we follow the path, which is still partially exposed to falling rocks, to the marked junction at Luknja, where we join the path from the Vrata Valley starting point and from where a nice view opens to the other side.
