Zadnjica - Lake Rjavo jezero

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 park at the parking lot beside the road.

Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the road, which takes us past a few houses (mostly weekend cottages) in about 15 minutes to the point where the road splits into two parts (there was once a parking lot at the intersection, but parking is now prohibited).
Continue along the lower right road (the upper road leads to the freight cableway to Pogačnikov dom) towards Dolič, Luknja, and Prehodavci. Initially follow the gentle road leading through scenic meadows, higher up through forest, almost to its end, or more precisely to the marked junction where a marked footpath branches right towards Prehodavci (about 1 hour to here).
From the junction at the area named Utro, continue right (straight to Luknja, Triglav, and Dolič), first crossing partly overgrown screes and a few torrents. After a few minutes of traversing with some short ascents and descents, arrive at 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 right, temporarily taking us into forest, then back to rockier terrain. The path further leads to a spring, beside which there is a small bench for resting. Continuing, the path ascends moderately to steeply for some time and gradually transitions to screes below Zadnjiški Ozebník. With views of nearby walls of surrounding peaks, then ascend to the saddle Čez Dol, where the path levels out and splits into two.
At the mentioned junction, continue left towards Zasavska koča na Prehodavcih (straight to Trenta) and ascend along the path continuing 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 the mentioned junction also 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 the mentioned junction, continue straight and ascend along the wide mule track crossing steep and sheer slopes. During the ascent over the sheer slope, notice a small "chapel" (statue of Mary with Jesus) on the left side.
Further on, the slope along which the path runs becomes less steep and increasingly scenic. Higher up, the well-preserved mule track leads over a slightly less steep slope of Zeleni grivi, above it the slope becomes steeper again. Followed by some short steep sections, then the path and slope level out. Somewhat above the indistinct break, arrive at a marked junction, 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 ahead leads along a wide and scenic ridge, passing 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, reaching it in about ten minutes of descent.
