Vršič - Mala Mojstrovka (via Šitna glava)

Access to starting point:
From Kranjska Gora, we drive towards Bovec or vice versa, but only to the mountain pass Vršič, where we park.

Path description:
From the parking lot at Vršič, we head along the initially poorly marked path that leads to Mojstrovka and Sleme. After a short ascent, the path brings us to a larger rock on which we notice the sign Mojstrovka to the left. We continue in the direction of Mojstrovka (to the right: Mojstrovka via Hanzova route and Slemenova špica) along the path that ascends diagonally through a thin larch forest. After approximately half an hour of ascent, the path brings us to an extensive scree field below Mojstrovka. At the spot where the marked path to Mojstrovka gets very close to the wall, we reach an unmarked junction, where we continue sharply to the right. We continue the ascent on an unmarked path, which in a gentle diagonal ascent leads towards the slopes of Šitna glava. A relatively well visible footpath soon brings us into an indistinct valley between Mala Mojstrovka and Šitna glava. Here the path turns a little to the left and ascends somewhat more steeply up the increasingly rocky slope. When the path gets quite close to the summit, it turns right, crosses partly overgrown scree and then ascends to the grassy summit.
From Šitna glava we continue along the ridge, first slightly downhill then uphill in the direction of Mojstrovka (unmarked). The poorly visible footpath that we ascend brings us, after about 20 minutes of walking from Šitna glava, to the spot where we join the Hanzova route to Mojstrovka. Ahead, orientation is easier, the path steeper and steeper. After a further few minutes, the steepness eases and the path brings us to more level terrain, which we bypass on the right side. Further on, the path approaches the ridge, and ahead of us we spot Mangart and Jalovec. Here the path turns slightly left and brings us to the steep section of the path. With the help of a few pegs, mainly without fixed safety gear, we ascend the steep summit slope of Mala Mojstrovka to its panoramic summit. In the last part of the path, there is a danger of slipping when wet; when dry, the path presents no major obstacle.
