Zadnja Trenta (Flori) - Jalovec (via Zavetišče pod Špičkom)

Access to starting point:
From Kranjska Gora we drive over the Vršič pass towards Bovec or vice versa, but only as far as the 49th hairpin bend of the Russian Road (near the village of Trenta). Here we turn onto the side road in the direction of the source of the Soča River. The road after a short ascent quickly brings us to the parking lot in front of the hut at the source of the Soča, we however continue left across the bridge and follow the road further to the parking lot at the end of the road (at the parking lot we notice mountain signs for Bavški Grintavec, the Suhi potok waterfalls and Jalovec).

Path description:
From the parking lot we turn right onto the footpath towards Jalovec and Zavetišče pod Špičkom (the left path leads to Bavški Grintavec). The path from which a nice view of the already mentioned Bavški Grintavec opens up at the beginning quickly passes into a dense forest, where it begins to climb steeply. The steep path, which almost the entire time runs through the forest, takes us after about an hour and a half of walking to a junction, where we continue on the left path in the direction of Zavetišče pod Špičkom (to the right Vršič, Jalovec, Mali kot and Jalovška škrbina, both paths are marked). The path ahead flattens for some time, then begins to climb steeply again, this time through occasionally increasingly sparse forest. Higher up the forest becomes even sparser and beautiful views of the surrounding peaks open up from the path. Just a little further we come to a less noticeable junction, where a marked but little-used path to Bavški Grintavec branches off to the left (the path over Konj).
We continue straight towards Zavetišče pod Špičkom on the path that enters the belt of dwarf pines. Further we climb for some time through the dwarf pines, then we join the path from the Vršič pass.
We continue straight towards Zavetišče pod Špičkom on the path that enters the world of pastures. The path, from which beautiful views of the peaks above Zgornje Posočje open up, takes us higher to a smaller junction, where a path to Jalovec branches off to the right (the path that bypasses Zavetišče pod Špičkom). We continue straight and along the path where we notice some interesting inscriptions (verses) we arrive at Zavetišče pod Špičkom in a few minutes.
From the shelter we return a little back and then turn onto the path towards Jalovec, where the path quickly takes us to the climbing part of the trail.
The path ahead climbs first on a relatively well-secured rock rib, then climbs steeply on the wall of the lesser-known Veliki Ozebnik (2480 m). The steepness then gradually eases and the path turns slightly to the right, where it crosses steep slopes under Veliki Ozebnik that are dangerous for slipping. The path in this section is less secured and very exposed to falling rocks (helmet is mandatory!). The path ahead crosses another short exposed gully and then brings us to a softer world of grass. The path ahead slightly descends and brings us to the high-mountain plain named Jezerce. A short climb follows and from the right the path from Jalovška škrbina joins us.
The path then climbs steeply again and with some minor protections along a sometimes quite exposed path brings us to the main ridge of Jalovec. Further we climb along a narrow and occasionally very exposed ridge on the path that higher up brings us to the place where the path from Kotovo sedlo joins us from the left. We continue straight and the scenic ridge path quickly takes us to the summit of Jalovec.
