Zadnjica - Zadnjiški Ozebnik

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, turn onto the side road, along which we park after a few hundred meters at the parking lot by the road.

Route description:
From the parking lot, continue along the road, which takes us past a few houses (mostly weekend cottages) in about 15 minutes to the point where the road splits into two parts (there used to be a parking lot at the intersection, but parking is now prohibited).
Continue along the lower right road (the upper road leads to the cable car to Pogačnikov dom) towards Dolič, Luknja and Prehodavci. Follow the initially gentle road, which leads through scenic meadows and higher through the forest, almost to its end, or more precisely to the marked junction where the marked footpath to Prehodavci branches off to the right (about 1 hour to here).
From the junction at the area called Utro, continue right (straight to Luknja, Triglav and Dolič), where we first cross partly overgrown scree and a few torrents. After a few minutes of crossing with some short ascents and descents, we reach the beginning of Zadnjiški dol. Here the path begins to ascend moderately on the right side of the valley. Higher up, the path turns a bit more to the right, temporarily taking us into the forest, then returning to a more rocky terrain. The path further leads to a spring, next to which there is a small bench where we can rest. Continuing, the path ascends moderately to steeply for a while and gradually transitions to the scree slopes below Zadnjiški Ozebnik. With a view of the nearby walls of surrounding peaks, we then ascend to the saddle Čez Dol, where the path levels out and splits into two parts.
The left path leads towards Prehodavci, the lower right one towards Trenta. Choose the lower right path, which we follow for only a few dozen steps, or to the nearby cairn.
At the cairn, leave the marked path and head right onto an initially barely visible path that crosses the overgrown grassy saddle Čez Dol. On the northern side of the saddle Čez Dol, we reach the southern slopes of Zadnjiški Ozebnik or initially still the slopes of Veliki Konj. The initially barely visible path then leads us across grassy slopes overgrown with bands of dwarf pines. Higher up, the path takes us into a short indistinct valley, from which with the help of a few cairns we reach the ridge of Zadnjiški Ozebnik. Here continue right and proceed along the very scenic ridge. The summit, which we can already see ahead, is reached after about five minutes of further walking.
Zadnjica - Čez Dol 3:00, Čez Dol - Zadnjiški Ozebnik 1:15.
