Zadnjica - Triglav (via Plemenice)

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).
We continue on the bottom right road (on the upper road we get to a cargo cableway, which runs on Pogačnikov dom) in the direction of Dolič, Luknja and Prehodavci. At first, a gentle road which leads us through scenic meadows, higher through the forest, we follow almost to its end, or more precisely to a marked crossing, where a marked footpath towards Prehodavci branches off to the right (to here we need approximately 1 hour).
From a crossing at an area named Utro we continue straight, the road here finally changes into a footpath or mule track. We continue the ascent on an old mule track, which is further moderately ascending over occasionally steeper slopes. Further, climbing path over Komar soon branches off to the right, and we go straight and we still continue the ascent on a wide path. Panoramic path, which occasionally runs over very steep slopes, higher brings us to the next marked crossing.
From a crossing we go left in the direction of Pogačnikov dom, Luknja and Triglav (right Koča na Doliču). From the crossing military mule track leads towards the east and crosses steep slopes. Later, the path few times ascends in zig-zags, and then again follows crossing in a gentle ascent all the way to a saddle Luknja.
On the saddle where there is a crossing, we continue right in the direction of Triglav. Left leads the path on Bovški Gamsovec, and straight downwards towards the mountain hut Aljažev dom v Vratih.
The path further becomes very demanding and already at the beginning starts almost vertically ascending by the steel cable. When we climb initial wall path slightly flattens which doesn't mean, that there is end of problems. From here ahead there almost isn't any fixed safety gear and occasionally we walk on a footpath above a deep precipice. In wet great risk of slipping! Difficulties then slowly decrease and the path turns slightly to the left and it brings us to the ridge from where a view opens up towards the east. We continue on a panoramic ridge and the path soon becomes again a little more demanding. With the help of steel cables and numerous iron spikes we few times steeply ascend, and then follows a short steep descent. Here on left a view opens up towards famous Sfinga (steepest Triglav column).
Further, the path becomes less steep and leads us on limestone pavement terrain. The footpath on this part is a little poorly visible and runs left from Glava v Zaplanji and Morbegna, which we see in front of us. On this part of the path also in the summer time there can still be some snow fields, which isn't steep, so that ice axe isn't necessary.
The path then brings us to a crossing on a plateau Zahodna Triglavska planota. We continue left upwards in the direction of Triglav (right Dolič, sharply right Morbegna) over the scree to the entrance in the next climbing part of the path. This part is much easier as the one over Plemenice so it won't cause bigger problems (but it can be quite crowded). The path ahead with the help of numerous fixed safety gear ascends diagonally and brings us below the notch Triglavska škrbina. Further, we ascend to the notch, where we come to a crossing. We continue left upwards (straight downwards Planika) on a steep but well-secured path. After few ascents steepness decreases and to the top there is only few minutes of ascent on the upper slope of Triglav.

On the way: Luknja (1758m), Plemenice (2364m), Triglavska škrbina (2659m)
