Access to starting point:
We drive from Kranjska Gora over mountain pass Vršič towards Bovec or vice versa, but only to 50th hairpin turn of Vršič road or Ruska cesta (near the village Trenta). Here we turn on a side road, by which we after few 100 meters park on a parking lot by the road.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the road, and which past few houses (mainly holiday cottages) in approximately 15 minutes brings us to the spot, where the road splits into two parts (by the crossroad used to be a parking lot, today it is forbidden to park).
From the old parking lot we go to the left road in the direction of the mountain hut Pogačnikov dom na Kriških podih (right road leads towards Prehodavci and Dolič). After 15 minutes of additional walking, the road brings us to the bottom station of the cargo cableway, where it ends.
We continue the ascent on a marked footpath (mule track), which is moderately ascending through the forest. The path which is ascending above the valley of Beli potok, quickly brings us on very steep slopes (danger of falling stones), over which leads a very wide footpath. The path ahead crosses a gully Veliki Presek, behind which we come on a short exposed ledge, over which we come with the help of steel cables. Further, the path returns into the forest, where it is in numerous turns moderately ascending. A little further, the path brings us below a smaller overhang, where we will be able to notice numerous sticks, which mountaineers put, so that the rock doesn't roll into the valley (sticks are there for fun, they don't prevent anything). The path ahead crosses some smaller gullies, then past a chapel brings us to a bigger gully. With some caution (undemanding) we cross the mentioned gully behind which in few minutes of additional walking, we ascend to a pleasant resting place (two benches by the path). Further, we cross another bigger gully (in the early summer possible snow fields), and then the path returns into the forest. Higher the forest is becoming thinner, and the path a little steeper and more and more scenic.
The path which is still ascending on an old mule track, then past two more benches brings us into a lane of dwarf pines, after which we pass over on more rocky terrain. Further, we are ascending on smaller scree, on an increasingly panoramic path, which higher brings us to a pleasant well (source).
Only few 10 strides above the mentioned source, we will come on an unmarked crossing, where the unmarked path branches off to the right towards the lake Spodnje Kriško jezero (2 minutes), and we continue slightly left on a still wide mountain path. The path ahead leads us past smaller ruins, and we follow it all the way to a marked crossing, where from the right side joins the path from the valley Vrata. We continue left and after two minutes of additional walking, we get to the mountain hut Pogačnikov dom na Kriških podih.
From the mountain hut, we continue past the upper station of a cargo cableway, on a marked path, which in two minutes of light descent brings us to a marked crossing, where we continue slightly right in the direction of Križ and Škrlatica (left Razor and Planja). Further, we are moderately ascending over an ample Kriški podi on the path which past a source and numerous abysses brings us on a less noticeable crossing (by the crossing is a smaller cairn). We continue left (straight lake Zgornje Kriško jezero 5 minutes) on a marked path, which for a short time steeply ascends, and then turns to the right, where it crosses smaller scree.
At the spot, where we cross the scree we leave the marked path and we continue the ascent by the scree steeply upwards. The scree higher narrows and "path" brings us into a smaller partly gravel gully (mainly at the descent dangerous for slipping), on which we ascend to the top of it. On top of the gully, we continue right and after few steps of easy climbing we step on the upper slope, on which we then in few steps ascend to the summit.
To the summit we can ascend even if we continue on a marked path to a small saddle between Kriški rob and Križ and then on a steep grassy slope we ascend to the summit. This path is a little longer and in dry also slightly easier.
Zadnjica - Pogačnikov dom 4:00, Pogačnikov dom - Kriški rob 1:15.
On the way: The lake Spodnje Kriško jezero (1880m), Pogačnikov dom na Kriških podih mountain hut (2050m)
