Access to starting point:
From Kranjska Gora, we drive over the Vršič pass towards Bovec or vice versa, and follow the road to the 49th hairpin turn of the Ruska or Vršiška road. Here we turn onto a side road, on which after approximately 1 km of additional driving we arrive at the parking lot at the Koča pri izviru Soče.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we return along the road about 50 m back, then continue in the direction of the footpath to Vršič. The path starts beside a smaller stone fence, then leads us past a smaller cottage into the forest. Through the forest we ascend gently for a short time, then the blazes lead us to the other side of the stream Limarica. Further we gradually start to ascend more steeply along the left bank of Limarica, and from the path that runs below the steep walls of Maklenova peč nice views start opening up on Bavški Grintavec and the Pelci ridge. Higher the path enters the forest, through which we then ascend for quite some time. Through the forest we ascend along an old mule track, which we leave higher up since the sign for Vršič directs us left onto a leaf-covered footpath, which soon joins the old macadam road.
We follow the road to the right, then after a few minutes of ascent leave it, since somewhat poorly visible blazes direct us left. Higher we rejoin the road, which brings us out of the forest onto increasingly panoramic slopes. With a view on the surrounding peaks we walk to the memorial, and only a few meters behind the memorial we leave the road and continue left across the torrent gully. We follow this path, which further ascends transversely across occasionally also somewhat steeper slopes, all the way to the asphalt road.
When we reach the Ruska cesta, along it in good 10 minutes we ascend almost to the Vršič pass, and there just before the start of the parking lot we continue right towards the nearby Tičarjev dom, which we reach after a few dozen steps of further walking.
