Vršič - Kanski preval

Print

Yesterday I set out from Vršič towards Kanja. I calculated 5-6 hours of walking. Since I was slower, I barely reached Zagorelec after six hours. The path is marked all the way, from the Jalovec-Trenta junction the path gets lost, luckily there are plenty of marks. It's easier to follow the path from Vršič than in the opposite direction. There are quite a few descents and ascents, on the way back I took half an hour less.

Tiring, but richly rewarded effort. Experiences in these parts are something special...

Veeery interesting path, from the junction to Špička to below Kanja there is no path, but the markers were super, except on the section from that junction to Konj. Have they renewed them on that section of the path?

The junction for the Kanja path is a bit tricky to find. On the Vršič-Špiček path, at the second (last) junction for Trenta, turn left downhill. You descend this path for 10-15 min to the signpost for Bavški Grintavec, there turn right. The path (towards Kanja) is marked but poorly cleared. Markers are mostly close to the ground. It's possible already before the Trenta junction to turn left (old markers, poorly cleared path, last part pathless, total about 100m) in horizontal direction, then slightly left downhill. You arrive at the same signpost, but avoid the up/down loop.
turn left here1
at the signpost to the right2

On picture 1 is that the second variant of the junction to the signpost on picture 2?

No that's the first variant.

This time the second part of the path. I started in Zadnja Trenta and via pl. Zapotok climbed to Velika Planina / Za Razorcem. That's where I turned last time. To Kanja it's still 1h 15'. Since I had time, I climbed via saddle Čez Lužo also to Šmihelovec and Zagorelec. I descended via the marked path to the valley.
at pl. Zapotok right up the gully - this is already the world above the gully, steeply up the grass1

As far as I remember from last year, when we went from Bavšica over saddle Kanja. Only to Zagorelec. Otherwise we looked for passages also to Šmihelovec. First time we walked here. So I really have no idea where one could go up. We preferred to turn back when we saw that the terrain is quite dangerous for slipping. To Zagorelec there is a nice path, not difficult at all. Here are really remote corners. Also from the other side we looked where one could go up, but everywhere the summit looked inaccessible.

For Šmihelovec you need to head into the gully left of the summit (viewed from Zagorelec). From below it's quite obscured. When you reach the notch go right (on the Bavška side) and then up the scree to the top. Everything is quite loose. When I looked from Kanja at the approach gully from Bavšica (marked), it seemed more problematic to me.
you turn off the path into the slope before reaching the Čez Lužo pass - viewed from Zagorelec1

Do you mean this one.
We went up this gully to see what it looks like.1
Here we inspected the jagged ridge and decided to descend.2

matic425. 06. 2020 15:39:42
You went too much left and reached the ridge before the notch (it's to the right). At the first picture you should have descended a bit and then diagonally right across to the wide gully.

darinka425. 06. 2020 15:44:10
Aha. So that's it. The descent was quite demanding. Then we went to Zagorelec instead. And from there checked if any other approach is possible somewhere. Thanks for the maybe sometime useful information.
this is how it looks ahead   upper part. 1
