Zadnjica - Lake Spodnje Kriško 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 we park after a few hundred meters at the parking lot by 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 forks into two parts (there used to be a parking lot at the junction, but parking is now prohibited).
From the old parking lot, take the left road towards Pogačnikov dom na Kriških podih (the right road leads towards Prehodavci and Dolič). After another 15 minutes of walking, the road leads to the lower station of the cargo cableway, where it ends.
Continue the ascent on the marked footpath, a mule track, which moderately climbs through the forest. The path, ascending above the Beli potok valley, soon brings us to very steep slopes (danger of falling rocks), across which a wide path runs. The path then crosses the Veliki Presek gully, after which we reach a short exposed ledge, crossed with the aid of a fixed cable. Further on, the path returns to the forest, ascending moderately in numerous switchbacks. A little further, the path leads under a small overhang, where we can see numerous sticks placed by hikers to prevent the rock from collapsing into the valley (the sticks are more for fun than serious). The path then crosses a few smaller gullies, passing a chapel to a larger gully. With some caution (easy), cross the gully, after which in a few minutes of further walking we reach a pleasant rest area (two benches along the path). Further, cross another large gully (possibility of snowfield in early summer), then the path returns to the forest. Higher up, the forest thins out, the path becomes somewhat steeper and more panoramic.
The path, continuing to ascend along the old mule track, then past two more benches leads to the dwarf pine belt, beyond which we enter a rockier terrain. Further ascent over small screes along an increasingly scenic path, which higher up leads to a pleasant spring (source).
Just a few dozen steps above the mentioned spring, we reach an unmarked junction, where an unmarked path branches right towards Spodnje Kriško jezero, reached after two minutes of further walking.
