Access to starting point:
We drive to Mojstrana, then we follow the signs for the Vrat Valley. Initially still asphalt, further mostly macadam road, which after approximately 12 km from the center of Mojstrana brings us to a large parking lot in the Vrat Valley. During the summer season, a parking fee is charged.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the macadam road closed to public traffic, on which past Šlajmerjev dom we quickly arrive at Aljažev dom v Vratih.
We bypass Aljažev dom on the right side and continue straight in the direction of Triglav, Sovatna, Luknja... (right Škrlatica, bivouac on Rušje...). We continue on a poorer macadam road, which past the winter room brings us to a marked junction by the famous wedge (monument to fallen partisan mountaineers).
We again continue straight (left Tominšek route), and a gently undulating path leads us with nice views on Triglav and the Triglav north face. When after a few minutes of further walking we arrive in the beech forest, the path over Sovatna branches off to the right, and we continue straight in the direction of Luknja and Triglav - path over Prag. A short ascent on a cart track follows, then the blazes direct us left onto a path that approaches the bed of Triglavska Bistrica. Here the path leads past a memorial to mountain victims, a little further we arrive at the next marked junction.
Left, across the stream, the path over Prag continues, and we continue straight on the path which gradually begins to ascend more noticeably. The path towards Luknja further moderately ascends for some time, higher it becomes steeper and more panoramic. A bit higher the path leads through a belt of bushes and sparse forest, where a small path to the nearby bivouac branches off to the right, and we continue on the wider path, which a little further brings us out of the forest belt. Further the path becomes a bit steeper, gradually bringing us to the screes below Luknja. The path over the screes is quite slippery, and when we arrive at the foot of the walls, steel cables also help us (in dry conditions undemanding, but they are especially useful on the descent). For a short time we steeply ascend right by the wall, then the path turns slightly right and a bit higher brings us to the junction on Luknja, from where a nice view opens up on the mountains above Zadnjica.
From Luknja we continue straight downhill (left Triglav over Plemenice (Bamberg route), right Bovški Gamsovec and pathless approach to Pihavec) and begin descending the old mule track. Initially the path leads over a smaller scree, where some caution is needed due to the increased possibility of falling rocks. A descent above steep Koriti follows, and we descend on a wide path, as the old mule track despite considerable steepness is still relatively well preserved. After approximately 40 minutes of descent, where we lose more than 300 elevation meters, we arrive at a marked junction.
From the junction we continue slightly left in the direction of Dolič (slightly right Zadnjica) and begin ascending again. Further we mostly moderately ascend on the mule track, which leads us over steep and occasionally exposed precipitous slopes. Since the path is wide and well laid out, it is not technically demanding, but it is exposed to falling rocks and due to occasional deep views mostly not suitable for vertigo sufferers. The path occasionally makes some hairpin turns, otherwise for most of the time it ascends diagonally to the right, so we get closer and closer to the mighty wall of Kanjavec.
Higher a climbing path from Zadnjica over Komar joins from the right, a bit further the path of Mira Marko Debelak (path over Kanjavčeve police) branches off to the right. The increasingly panoramic path higher makes some more hairpin turns, from it the path to Triglav also branches off to the left.
We continue straight, then quickly arrive at Koča na Doliču.
From the hut we continue right towards the west in the direction of Kanjavec, where we first descend a bit. When the short descent ends, we begin ascending the slopes of Kanjavec. The well laid out rocky path then after approximately one hour of walking from Koča na Doliču brings us to the technically more difficult part of the path, where with the help of fixed protections we ascend over a rocky jump. The ascent section is relatively difficult, as a short section of the path is very steep. Above the jump the path levels out and only a little further with nice views on Triglav and surrounding mountains brings us to the panoramic summit of Kanjavec.
