Zadnjica - Malo Špičje

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 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 splits into two parts (there used to be a parking lot at the junction, but parking is now prohibited).
Continue along the lower right road (the upper road leads to the freight cableway to Pogačnikov dom) in the direction of Dolič, Luknja and Prehodavci. Initially follow the gentle road that leads through 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 named Utro, continue right (straight to Luknja, Triglav and Dolič), where we first cross partly overgrown scree slopes and a few torrents. After a few minutes of traversing with some short ascents and descents, we arrive at the beginning of Zadnjiški dol. Here the path begins to ascend moderately along the right side of the valley. Higher up, the path turns even more to the right, briefly taking us into the forest, then returning to a more rocky terrain. The path continues to a small spring, next to which there is a bench where we can rest. Further on, the path ascends moderately to steeply for some time and gradually transitions onto the scree under Zadnjiški Ozebnik. With views of the nearby walls of surrounding peaks, we then climb to the saddle Čez Dol, where the path levels out and splits into two parts.
At the mentioned junction, continue left towards Zasavska koča na Prehodavcih (straight to Trenta) and then 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 the mentioned junction via a slightly longer path. In this case, at the previous junction continue straight towards Trenta and then a little further left towards Prehodavci).
At the mentioned junction, continue straight and then ascend along the wide mule track, which 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 increasingly scenic. Higher up, the well-preserved mule track leads over a slightly less steep slope of Zelene grive, above which the slope becomes steep again. A few short steep sections follow, after which the path and slope level out. Somewhat above the indistinct breakline, we reach a marked junction, where we continue right towards Lepe oz. Velikega Špičja (left Zasavska koča, five minutes, straight Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih).
The path ahead is initially somewhat harder to follow and ascends gently along the left, southern side of Zadnje Lope (2102 m). Continuing, the path becomes steeper and transitions to the slopes of Malega Špičja, where it ascends quite steeply for a while. The marked path to Veliko Špičje turns left just below the summit of Malega Špičja, but we leave it here and in a few dozen steps ascend to the panoramic summit of Malega Špičja.
Here go right and in a few minutes ascend to the highest peak of the ridge, Veliko Špičje, which can also be found under the name Lepo Špičje in some places.
