Zadnjica - Šplevta (Razor)

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 parking lot, continue along the road, which takes us past a few houses, mainly weekend cottages, in about 15 minutes to the place where the road splits into two parts (there used to be a parking lot at the junction, but parking is now prohibited).
From the old parking lot, head onto the left road towards Pogačnikov dom na Kriških podih (the right road leads towards Prehodavci and Dolič). After 15 minutes of further walking, the road brings us to the lower station of the cargo cableway, where it ends.
Continue the ascent on the marked hiking path, a mulatjera, which moderately ascends through the forest. The path, ascending above the valley of Beli potok, quickly brings us to very steep slopes (danger of falling rocks), across which a wide path leads. The path further crosses the gully Veliki Presek, after which we reach a short exposed ledge, crossed with the aid of a fixed cable. Further on, the path returns to the forest, where it moderately ascends in numerous switchbacks. A bit further, the path brings us under a small overhang, where we can notice numerous sticks that hikers place so the rock does not collapse into the valley (the sticks are placed more for fun than seriously). The path further crosses a few smaller gullies, then past a chapel brings us to a larger gully. With some caution (easy), we cross the mentioned gully, after which in a few minutes of further walking we ascend to a pleasant rest area (two benches by the path). Further, we cross another larger gully (possibility of snow patch in early summer), then the path returns to the forest. Higher up, the forest becomes sparser, the path somewhat steeper and increasingly scenic.
The path, continuing to ascend along the old mulatjera, then takes us past two more benches into the dwarf pine belt, after which we enter a more rocky world. Further, we ascend across smaller screes, along an increasingly scenic path that higher up brings us to a pleasant spring (source).
Just a few dozen steps above the mentioned spring, we arrive at an unmarked junction, where an unmarked path branches right towards Spodnje Kriško jezero, which is two minutes walk away, while we continue slightly left along the still wide alpine path. The path further leads us past smaller ruins, which we follow all the way to the marked junction, where the path from dolina Vrata joins from the right. We continue left and after two minutes of further walking arrive at Pogačnikov dom na Kriških podih.
Just a few dozen steps above the mentioned spring, we arrive at an unmarked junction, where an unmarked path branches right towards Spodnje Kriško jezero, which is two minutes walk away, while we continue slightly left along the still wide alpine path. The path further leads us past smaller ruins, which we follow all the way to the marked junction, where the path from dolina Vrata joins from the right. We continue left and after two minutes of further walking arrive at Pogačnikov dom na Kriških podih.
From the hut, continue past the upper station of the cargo cableway, along the marked path, which in two minutes of slight descent brings us to a marked junction, where we continue left towards Razor, Planja and Vršič (slightly right Križ and Škrlatica). We follow the path towards Razor and Planja for only two minutes, then leave it and continue the ascent right through pathless terrain.
Our next goal is to reach the valley to the right (east) of Razor. We reach the mentioned valley by leaving the marked path at the previously mentioned section and ascending through easier pathless terrain without major difficulties into the mentioned valley. When we enter the mentioned valley, a beautiful view opens up of the valley and the peaks surrounding it (Šplevta is right behind). Further, we gently ascend the valley, which is crisscrossed with numerous karst sinkholes. The saddle between Razor and Šplevta is now our next goal, to which we ascend in good weather without major orientation or technical difficulties.
On the saddle, from which a beautiful view opens towards Turn pod Razorjem and dolina Krnica, continue right and continue the ascent along and on the summit ridge of Šplevta. We follow this relatively easy and increasingly scenic ridge "path" all the way to the summit, which we reach after a good ten minutes of further walking.
In good weather, orientation is relatively easy, in fog almost impossible.
