Vršič - Zadnja Mojstrovka

Access to starting point:
From Kranjska Gora or Trenta we drive to the Vršič pass, where we park. The parking lot is paid during the tourist season.

Path description:
From the parking lot at the Vršič pass we head onto the marked path in the direction of Mala Mojstrovka and Slemenova špica. The path soon splits and we choose the left path towards Mala Mojstrovka (right to Slemenova špica and Hanzova pot to Mala Mojstrovka). This is followed by a traversing ascent to the left, where we first go through a belt of shrubs, then arrive among dwarf pines and a sparse larch forest through which a wide, mostly stony path leads. After about half an hour of ascent we reach a larger scree slope, where an unmarked path to Šitna glava branches off to the right; we continue traversing across the scree. On the other side of the scree we arrive in a crumbly gully which is exposed to falling rocks. This is followed by about 15 minutes of steep and technically somewhat more difficult ascent along the gully which ends at a smaller saddle named Vratca pod Mojstrovko.
Here, where we also reach the ridge, we continue right, then with views of the Primorska part of the Julian Alps we continue the ascent. The path ahead moves away from the ridge somewhat to the left where we are assisted by a few pitons, then it splits. Slightly to the left the marked path continues leading below the ridge, while along the ridge the unmarked path to Mala Mojstrovka continues.
The marked path then leads us across a scree slope over which we ascend transversely with increasingly better views.
A few minutes below the summit of Mala Mojstrovka we leave the marked path and continue left towards the saddle between Mala and Velika Mojstrovka, from near the saddle an unmarked path leads us into a gully along which we steeply ascend towards the summit part of Velika Mojstrovka. The slope soon becomes less steep and the path turns right upwards. From here only a short ascent along the rocky slope to the eastern summit of Velika Mojstrovka follows.
From the eastern summit we continue along the ridge towards the west. The path then soon becomes somewhat more demanding and begins to ascend along a slightly crumbly slope on the southern side of the ridge. The path is marked on this section with numerous cairns. This is followed by an ascent towards the ridge where we soon reach the western summit of Velika Mojstrovka.
Also from the western summit we continue further along a very panoramic ridge. The ridge is precipitous on the northern side throughout but is wide enough that walking along it does not present major difficulties. Later the slope on the southern side of the ridge also becomes somewhat steeper and there follows a somewhat steeper ascent along the rocky ridge to the summit of Zadnja Mojstrovka.
