Zadnjica - Kanjavec (via Prehodavci)

Access to starting point:
From Kranjska Gora, drive over Vršič Pass towards Bovec or vice versa, but only to the 50th hairpin bend of the Vršič or Russian Road (near the village of Trenta). Here we turn onto the side road, along which after a few hundred metres we park at the parking area by the road.

Path description:
From the parking area, continue along the road, which takes us past a few houses (mostly holiday cottages) in about 15 minutes to the point where the road forks into two parts (there used to be a parking area at the junction, but parking is now prohibited).
Continue along the lower right road (the upper road leads to the cable car to Pogačnikov dom) in the direction of Dolič, Luknja and Prehodavci. First follow the gentle road that leads across scenic meadows, higher up through the forest, almost to its end, or more precisely to the marked junction where a marked footpath branches off to the right towards Prehodavci (about 1 hour to here).
From the junction in the area called Utro, continue right (straight to Luknja, Triglav and Dolič), first crossing partly overgrown scree slopes and a few torrents. After a few minutes of traversing with some short ascents and descents, we reach the start of Zadnjiški dol. Here the path begins to ascend moderately along the right side of the valley. Higher up, the path turns a bit more to the right, briefly taking us into the forest, then returning to a rockier terrain. The path continues to a spring, next to which there is a small bench where we can rest. Continuing, the path ascends moderately to steeply for a while and gradually leads onto the scree slopes below Zadnjiški Ozeznik. With a view of the nearby walls of surrounding peaks, we then ascend to the saddle Čez Dol, where the path levels out and forks into two parts.
At this junction, continue left towards Zasavska koča na Prehodavcih (straight to Trenta) and ascend along the path that continues over a fairly steep and partly exposed slope. Follow this somewhat narrower path to the nearby junction where we join the mule track from Trenta.
(If the short somewhat exposed section seems too dangerous, we can reach this junction via a slightly longer path. In this case, at the previous junction continue straight towards Trenta and then a bit further left towards Prehodavci).
At this junction, continue straight and ascend along the wide mule track that crosses steep and precipitous slopes. During the ascent over the precipitous slope, we will notice a small "chapel" (statue of Mary with Jesus) on the left side.
Continuing, the slope along which the path runs becomes less steep and more scenic. Higher up, the well-preserved mule track leads over an even less steep slope of Zelena griva, above which the slope becomes steeper again. A few short steep sections follow, then the path and the slope level out. A little above an indistinct ridge, we reach a marked junction, where we continue left (right to Lepo or Veliko špičje - Stanko Kos path, straight to Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih) towards the nearby Zasavska koča na Prehodavcih. The path continues along a wide and scenic ridge, which takes us past the winter bivouac in a few minutes to Zasavska koča na Prehodavcih.
From Zasavska koča, return to the nearby winter bivouac, from there head southeast onto the path towards Hribarice, Kanjavec, Koča na Doliču and Triglav and begin descending towards Rjavo jezero, which we reach in about ten minutes of descent.
At Rjavo jezero (also known as Rjava mlaka), the path forks again, and we choose the path towards Hribarice (the right path descends along the Dolina Triglavskih jezer).
The path continues over scree slopes below Poprovec and ascends laterally to the right, higher up joining the path that passes by Zeleno jezero, or the path from Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih.
A short steep section follows, then we ascend laterally to the right to a junction, where the path from the Vrata pass joins us, or the path along the Zelnarice ridge or Za Kopico valley.
Continue straight towards Hribarice, a few minutes higher at the edge of the Hribarice plateau the path levels out, and the Hribarice saddle is a bit further ahead.
At the point where the path levels out, we also reach a somewhat less noticeable junction, where we leave the path towards Koča na Doliču and Triglav and continue slightly left towards Kanjavec.
The path leads into a small and relatively steep valley between the two peaks of Kanjavec. The increasingly scenic path continuing along this valley levels out higher up and takes us to the saddle between the western and eastern peak of Kanjavec.
Here continue right (left to the western peak along an unmarked path) and in a few minutes ascend to the scenic and precipitous summit.
