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.
Route description:
From the paid parking lot in the Zadnjica Valley, continue along the marked path, initially along the road in the direction of Pogačnikov dom on Kriške pode, Razor, Stenar, Križ, Bovški Gamsovec, Luknja, Triglav, Koča na Doliču, and Kanjavec. The path first 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.
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 on Kriške pode and other destinations above Kriške pode and the lower station of the cargo cableway to Kriške pode), 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.
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 via Komar branches right; 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 to an altitude of about 1500 meters to the next junction, where the path to Koča na Doliču branches right, and straight ahead the path continues towards Luknja, Pogačnikov dom on Kriške pode, and Triglav via Plemenice.
Continue right towards Koča na Doliču and continue ascending along the mule track (the path to Luknja also follows a mule track).
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 afraid of heights. The path occasionally makes a few hairpins but mostly ascends traversely to the right, gradually approaching the mighty wall of Kanjavec.
Higher up, the climbing path from Zadnjica via Komar joins from the right, a bit further on the path of Mira Marko Debelak (path via Kanjavčeve police) branches right. The increasingly scenic path makes a few more hairpins higher up and brings us to a junction a few minutes before Koča na Doliču.
Continue left towards Triglav (straight to Koča na Doliču), a little further the path passing by Koča na Doliču joins from the right.
Here too, go left; the path continues for a while along the mule track leading north and ascending quite steeply. Higher up, the path levels out and brings us to Sedlo (2305 m), where it turns slightly left.
A section of easy walking with a beautiful view of Triglav and surrounding peaks follows, but we must be careful due to the high-mountain karst terrain so as not to fall into a hole or injure our legs on the rocky ground.
The path ahead begins to ascend again, and an unmarked path to Triglavska vojašnica Viktorja Emanuela III (sometimes incorrectly called Morbegna) branches left; we continue skirting Glava v Zaplanji on the right eastern side, after which we join the path via Plemenice.
Head right towards Triglav and ascend over scree to the start of the climbing section, where we ascend transversely along the exposed wall on a well-protected path. Such a path brings us below the Triglavska or Bovška škrbina, then steeply up to the mentioned notch, where the Gorjanska pot from Planika joins.
Continue left upwards towards Triglav (straight down to Planika) along a steep but well-protected path. After a few minutes of further ascent, the steepness eases, and to the summit only a few minutes of walking along the summit slope of Triglav await.
Starting point - To the clearing 0:15, To the clearing - Utro 1:00, Utro - Komar junction 0:15, Komar junction - Below Skok 1:10, Below Skok - Below the wall 1:25, Below the wall - junction before Koča na Doliču 0:55, junction before Koča na Doliču - Sedlo 0:30, Sedlo - Zaplanja junction 0:50, Zaplanja junction - Triglavska škrbina 0:35, Triglavska škrbina - Triglav 0:35.

Thanks, funnyboy!
We also don't have ice axes, nor crampons. We only go to the high mountains in the summer months, but this year winter was really long.
mizuno13. 08. 2010
We plan to hike the path from Dolič to Triglav; please provide a precise path description if someone knows it.

P.S. is the path also suitable for children.
IgorZlodej13. 08. 2010
Described 101 times already, just click around a bit. Of course over the wall or through Triglav Notch you need to use the protections. The route from this side is considered the easiest to Triglav, but that's subjective. If children are not used to walking on protected paths they will of course have lots of trouble, it might end already on the first meters of ascent because there are two exposed traverses. In any case, proper rope belaying of children is recommended, and due to possible falling rocks helmet use as well.

Reading comments....
Wonder how they would comment if the late Mr. Slak played for 10 hours on top of Triglav....
Let the accordion be the symbol of Slovenian music, not those who are bothered!velik nasmeh

But I too have come across some such parties with accordions and the like in our huts and I don't want any more of it...mrk pogledmrk pogled
jany19805. 01. 2012
Depends on the individual.
Personally, I prefer to hear the sound of an accordion in the mountains rather than modern rhythms....
to each his owncool
And precisely Slovenes, for whom the "alleged" accordion is a domestic instrument, are rebelling here....
turbo5. 01. 2012
Any noise in the mountains is annoying. The same goes for those who make it.
IgorZlodej5. 01. 2012
@turbo I completely agree. After all, we go to the mountains for peace, silence, bird song, sunrises and sunsets, which are most beautiful precisely at the time when silence plays. We have enough of everything else in the valley. Well, unfortunately we can't always avoid the accordion either, and if there's a flute girl nearby, the old goats would still spinnasmeh.
planika507. 01. 2012
Our Slovenian accordions really open all doors and are welcome in many places as part of the atmosphere in company, and some pleasant playing at a mountain hut probably doesn't harm anyone. Peace, quiet and everything else that somehow belongs in the mountains and for which we like to go to this wonderful world has simply changed over the years and with the way of technological life. Today we see many things in the mountains that simply don't belong there and there's far too little education in terms of movement and etiquette in the mountains. Perhaps a guideline for some comments on this portal, which is simply intended for information and pleasant experiences and impressions of mountaineers/hikers. Someone asks a slightly awkward question, an extreme thought in movement, and then the typical negative comments start. nasmehnasmehnasmeh
Pohodnica5623. 02. 2012
Indeed, it's already a month or more ago, actually years about this "horror" accordion, but I'll still add a bit to the fire. Why on earth doesn't it bother anyone when the "horror" accordion plays in the huts and no one complains that it's annoying. And when everyone loudly demands their well-deserved beer, but that's not annoying.... and more could be found. A few chords are an atrocity. Let's be a little less egoistic and negative, everyone can find a corner of peace and quiet.
Lara824. 06. 2012
This Friday we're heading to Triglav. Up from Rudno polje, down via Dolič. But do you perhaps know what the current conditions on Triglav are like? Snow and such? And what are both paths like? Thanks!
joža x22. 07. 2012
Those who like the accordion are disturbed by "hikers" trudging off trails, those who like ski touring are disturbed by snowmobiles, true hikers are disturbed by tourists in the mountains, hunters (including me) are disturbed by dogs in the mountains, those who like peace are disturbed by merrymakers.....Yeah, everyone sees the other, but how they themselves affect nature and disturb others doesn't bother them .......
Alpski Slovenc22. 07. 2012
Hello. Since the last post here on hribi.net, my wife and I have hiked and summited quite a few peaks. We started our two-day tour in the afternoon after 4 PM from Zadnjica. After four hours of walking on the mulatiera, we overnighted at the Tržaška koča at Dolič (staff very friendly, prices quite high for our conditions, I think the highest around there) and headed to Triglav the next morning. From the hut at Dolič, we continued left on the mulatiera and ascended. After 45 minutes of walking, the path levels out and we have a nice view of our goal Triglav ahead. We continue towards Triglav over the scree slopes, past Lojzet, to the junction where the path from Plemenice joins. We go right up the scree to the wall and then with the aid of fixed protection cross up to the Triglavska škrbina (here the path from Planika joins). We continue left up the steep well-protected path (right at the start of about 100m ascent there are two loose pitons, one larger, one smaller, which need securing). All the way to the summit along the southern slopes of Triglav, a strong wind blows in gusts, driving fog from the valley of Trenta. From the direction of Kredarica to the summit and back, there was quite a bit of traffic visible. At the summit, fog greets us first. Soon it clears for a few minutes and I take photos all around. After a one-hour rest and the obligatory baptism of my wife, who celebrated her birthday that day, we slowly descend along the Triglav ridge towards Dolič and further to Zadnjica in Trenta.
tiasha14. 08. 2012
It would be much nicer if everyone stopped worrying about such pointless things and instead enjoyed the moment, savouring every given instant. Instead of everyone arguing all over the place about the accordion. Come on, don't mess around!zmeden
Svoboda28. 07. 2013
Nice mountain greetings. At the beginning of the week, we are heading out on this trail. Does anyone perhaps know what the current conditions on the trail are like, any peculiarities?
tindi27. 09. 2013
I'm wondering if anyone knows how long the path from Zadnjica via Dolič to Triglav is? Thanks for the answer! LP T
IgorZlodej27. 09. 2013
I don't know in km, although I've walked it more than 300 times, time-wise everyone has to find out for themselves, as far as I remember 3.5 hours last time.
joža x27. 09. 2013
Everything is written on the top of the page, except km, for those who go by bike.
bruny27. 09. 2013
There should be just under 10 kilometers - mežikanje, more precisely 9735 meters, positive elevation 2372 and negative 220. Regards
ben27. 09. 2013
Where do you get 220 down from? zmeden

lucylucy18. 08. 2015
I also visited the Zadnjica valley and the waterfall.
But I was most surprised by the radars that were issuing tickets to all cars whose owners didn't park their steel horses properly and missed the sign. So, when you drive into the Zadnjica valley and see a parking spot, park if you don't want to get a ticket.jezen
darinka41. 09. 2015
I also got a ticket and all who parked by the barrier that day. Then I left the car at the lower parking lot. The sign that you mustn't park at the barrier disappeared later, now at least I didn't see it. The last part of the path drags the most, on descent.
planika7718. 04. 2016
I'm interested in which is the easiest path to Triglav or the most suitable for those prone to vertigo (not overly vertigo-prone, but still a bit mežikanje). Is the one from Zadnjica via Dolič the most suitable, or from Krma via Planika or from Pokljuka via Planika? Which one do you recommend? Thanks to everyone in advance! nasmeh
darinka418. 04. 2016
Depends on where you are from? For me the easiest is the one from the Primorska side from Zadnjica to Dolič. It's not really exposed at all. You just need fitness.smile
planika7718. 04. 2016
Oh, I have fitness for export smile and I'm not afraid of heights in general, as long as there's somewhere to step smile I just don't like overly exposed/aerial sections...
tropine18. 04. 2016
Both from Pokljuka and Krma are safe and not dangerous.
Personally I would choose from Pokljuka. My recommendation is the path from planina blato above sedmerimi DOLIČ-PLANIKA -TRIGLAV, very nice tour. l.p. and safe stepssmile
jax18. 04. 2016
Oh, for God's sake, not from Pokljuka! That's the best recipe for never going to the mountains again. It drags on like a chicken's gut and you'll hardly forget the descent... Of the listed ones, I'd most recommend Zadnjica, otherwise consider Kot as well.
zippo19. 04. 2016
Either one or the other, there's no essential difference. More important to choose the right time, so you don't go already now for the May Day mountain rush!

Hello! I'm also interested in which is the easiest route to Triglav or the most suitable for the vertiginous (not too vertiginous, but still, a bit of blinking ) Is the most suitable this one from Zadnjica via Dolič, or from Krma via Planika or from Pokljuka via Planika? Which one do you recommend?
ločanka3. 07. 2017
None is suitable for the vertiginousnasmeh.
smatjaz3. 07. 2017
The most "humane" route is from Krma Valley to Planika, then the path for those afraid of heights ends.
korl3. 07. 2017
vanya, you're talking about approaches to Triglav, regardless if you start from Pokljuka, Krma or Zadnjica, those paths lead only to the foot of the summit section, onwards it's precipitous from all sides and with the aid of pegs...
hribuc854. 07. 2017
For the ascent to Triglav, based on the above it seems to me the most suitable path is from Dolič which starts on the mulatiera. Mainly because no need to cross Pasji greben between Mali and Veliki Triglav. The path doesn't seem so exposed to me. But I'd recommend some smaller "training" summit before Triglav where vertigo can be eased or eliminated. Pogačnikova to Šmarna Gora or Furlanova to Gradiška Tura,... These are shorter paths where "diagnosis" for high mountains is setnasmeh. But that's just my lay opinion.

Good luck!
ejas12341. 08. 2020
Hello.
How is the path to Triglav via Dolič.
Is helmet and harness needed in the last part.
thanks for the answer.
Sammer 13. 09. 2020
I was on this path yesterday 12.9. and recommend a via ferrata set and mandatory helmet. No crowds on this side. Not for those prone to vertigo.
trdi13. 09. 2020
It's true, this path is also not for those prone to vertigo. If anyone thinks they'll avoid the dizzying ridge between Mali and Veliki Triglav with the path from Dolič, I warn that shortly after entering the wall there's a very exposed parametric section where you step on a peg carved into the rock, with a precipice below. This part is more exposed than anything on the ridge between the Triglavs. Otherwise, apart from that and the initial entry with pegs, the path isn't particularly demanding. But it's quite demanding for descent, so I recommend descending to Planika and then returning to Dolič from Planika. This path is exceptionally beautiful.

I'd also comment on the access to Dolič. The climbing path over Komar is exceptionally beautiful, two cables need repair, a few pegs are loose. I don't understand why the branch for Komar at the bottom of the valley isn't marked. As if they were hiding this path, even the cairn at the branch was knocked down and I fixed it. On the return from Dolič to Zadnjica along the "easy" mule track, I would personally mark this path as partially demanding, as the upper part is a bit exposed, and two small scree slides need clearing, which are quite dangerous to cross.

matija9611. 07. 2021 22:11:36
Hi, does anyone know if the Triglav-Dolič trail is already passable or if winter gear is still needed? Thanks and best regards
Nortg30. 07. 2021 10:46:03
The trail is passable without winter gear. Below the hut at Dolič there is still some snow but it causes no problems and winter gear is not needed, I recommend only hiking poles. lp
jupenima28. 03. 2022 12:46:42
Hello,

does the path go past (or near) the ruins of the Triglav mountain barracks (of King) Vittorio Emanuele III (or Morbegne, as it's apparently wrongly called)?
bongo28. 03. 2022 18:48:16
Hi, the upper one goes, stick to the left path or mule track that goes towards Glava peak in Zaplanja. The junction is about an hour from Dolič, I think you can't miss it, but if you do, you can return at the junction for over Plemenice and the summit. You'll probably be disappointed by what's visible though.
jupenima29. 03. 2022 09:41:47
Thanks for the reply, maybe I'll go take a look.
darinka421. 08. 2023 05:55:50
We were there yesterday with Maksij. Wonderful Sunday. We walked the entire trail in the shade. Not many hikers from this side. No August crowds on the summit either. And the wind was cooling as forecasted. We descended the ascent route. Stopped at Justi and Vinkot. Some vehicles in the Zadnjica parking had ranger notices stuck on the windshield. The hiker I talked to said you can pay parking with a bank card. Otherwise very few cars parked for a Sunday.
darinka41. 09. 2025 08:13:13
After two years Maksij and I set out on Sunday, last day of August. Started hiking from Log in Trenta. No crowds from this side. Nor on descent. Otherwise bustle from Kredarica and Planika. At the top you don't feel like you're on our highest peak due to many foreigners waiting to photo in front of the tower. Weather yesterday just right for hiking. Hiked whole path in long sleeves.
