Zadnjica - Kanjavec (West peak) (via Dolič)

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

Path description:
From the paid parking lot in the Zadnjica valley, we continue along the marked path, initially along the road in the direction of Pogačnikov dom na Kriških podih, Razor, Stenar, Križ, Bovški Gamsovec, Luknja, Triglav, Koča na Doliču and Kanjavec. The path initially leads past a few houses or cottages and after about 15 minutes of walking brings us to a marked junction where there used to be free parking, but parking is now prohibited here.
We continue along the slightly right lower road in the direction of Zasavska koča na Prehodavcih, Koča na Doliču, Luknja and other nearby destinations (left to Pogačnikov dom na Kriških podih and other destinations above Kriških podih and the lower station of the cargo cableway to Kriških podih), where the gentle road continues through scenic meadows, higher up through the forest. Just before the end of the forest road at the Planja junction or before the head of the valley in the area called Utro, a marked path branches right towards Prehodavci.
We continue straight along the road, which soon turns into a hiking path or old military mule track, along which we mostly ascend moderately on increasingly steeper slopes. Still in the forest, a climbing path branches right via Komar, but we continue along the mule track, which ascends in numerous hairpins, and due to the steep slopes above us, parts of the path are exposed to falling rocks.
The fairly scenic path brings us at about 1500 meters above sea level to the next junction, where the path to Koča na Doliču branches right, straight ahead continues the path towards Luknja, Pogačnikov dom na Kriških podih and Triglav via Plemenice.
We continue right towards Koča na Doliču and continue ascending along the mule track (the mule track also leads to Luknja).
Further on, we mostly ascend moderately along the mule track, which leads across steep and occasionally exposed precipitous slopes. Although the path is wide and well-graded, technically not demanding, it is exposed to falling rocks and due to occasional deep views mostly unsuitable for those prone to vertigo. The path occasionally makes a few hairpins, otherwise it ascends mostly traversing to the right, gradually approaching the mighty wall of Kanjavec.
Higher up, a climbing path from Zadnjica via Komar joins from the right, a bit further the path of Mira Marko Debelak (path via Kanjavec ledges) branches right. The increasingly scenic path makes a few more hairpins higher up, from which a path towards Triglav branches left.
We continue straight and soon arrive at Koča na Doliču.
At the hut, the path forks, we continue right downhill towards Kanjavec, descending westwards (straight to sedlo Dolič and Dom Planika pod Triglavom, Vodnikov dom na Velem polju, Hribarice...) and follow the marked mountain path. The descent soon ends and we begin ascending the rocky slopes of Kanjavec, with wider views opening with each step. Higher up, the path goes through a series of indistinct basins, above them we traverse up across scree to the technically demanding section, where some fixed protection assists us. With the help of fixed protection, we climb above the rock step, the steepest part of the ascent is quite difficult as the path is very steep over a short section.
Above the step, the steepness eases and we join a technically easier path leading over sedlo Hribarice.
Here we go right and quickly reach the panoramic summit of Kanjavec.
From the summit of Kanjavec, descend along the marked path to the saddle separating the western and eastern summit, then along a less trodden unmarked path in a few minutes ascend to the western summit.
