Zadnjica - Triglav (via Komar)

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 a 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 Zadnjica valley, continue on the marked trail, initially along the road towards Pogačnikov dom on Kriški podi, Razor, Stenar, Križ, Bovški Gamsovec, Luknja, Triglav, Koča na Doliču and Kanjavec. The trail first leads past a few houses or weekend cottages and after about 15 minutes of walking brings us to a marked junction where there used to be a free parking lot, but parking is now prohibited here.
Continue on the slightly right lower road towards Zasavska koča na Prehodavcih, Koča na Doliču, Luknja and other nearby objectives (left to Pogačnikov dom on Kriški podi and other goals above Kriški podi and the lower station of the cargo cable car to Kriški podi), where the gentle road continues through scenic meadows, higher through the forest. Just before the end of the forest road at the Planja junction or before the valley head in the area called Utro, a marked path branches right towards Prehodavci.
Continue straight along the road, which soon turns into a footpath or old military mule track, along which we mostly ascend moderately on gradually steeper slopes. Still in the forest, on the section where the mule track turns left, the climbing path via Komar branches right or straight ahead.
The inscription “Komar” on the rock directs us straight onto a narrow path that leads across a meadow towards a small stream. The path then crosses the stream and begins ascending the steep slope towards the chapel, which we can already see ahead. At the chapel, the path turns right and with the aid of some cables crosses the steep slope to the west during the ascent. The path then brings us to a torrent gully along which we ascend left upwards with the help of protections. After a short ascent, we leave the gully and head right onto a narrow secured ledge that brings us to the steep northern slopes. There follow some steep ascents along cables, then the path turns slightly left and begins to cross exposed slopes in a slight ascent. Such a path brings us into another torrent gully along which we then ascend with the help of protections. This time we leave the gully on the left side, followed by a short crossing along cables that brings us to less steep slopes covered with dwarf pines and shrubs.
Continuing with beautiful views towards Pihavec and Zadnjiški Ozebnik, we ascend mostly through dwarf pines. Such a path brings us to grassy slopes, in the upper part becoming increasingly scree-covered. When already very close to the walls of Kanjavec, the path turns left followed by a short ascent to a junction where we join the usual path along the military mule track.
Continue along the mule track, a little further the path of Mira Marko Debelak (path via Kanjavčeve police) branches right. The increasingly scenic path higher up makes a few more switchbacks 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 via Koča na Doliču joins from the right.
Here too go left and continue along the mule track for some time, which leads north and ascends quite steeply. Higher up the path levels out and brings us to Sedlo (2305 m), where it turns slightly left.
There follows some easy walking with a superb view of Triglav and surrounding peaks, but we must be careful due to the high-alpine karst terrain, so as not to fall into a hole or injure our leg on the scree terrain.
The path ahead begins ascending again, to the left an unmarked path branches towards Triglavska vojašnica Viktorja Emanuela III. (sometimes incorrectly named Morbegna), while we continue along the right eastern side bypassing Glava v Zaplanji, after which we join the path leading over Plemenice.
Head right towards Triglav and ascend over scree to the start of the climbing section of the path, where along a well-protected path we ascend transversely on the exposed wall. Such a path brings us under Triglavska or Bovška škrbina, then we ascend steeply to the mentioned notch, where 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 remain along the summit slope of Triglav.
