Zadnjica - Vodnikov Vršac (Vršac nad Zadnjico)

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 (mostly holiday homes) 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 cargo cableway to Pogačnikov dom) in the direction of Dolič, Luknja and Prehodavci. Initially follow the gentle road that leads across scenic meadows, higher through the forest, almost to its end, or more precisely to the marked junction where a marked footpath branches right towards Prehodavci (about 1 hour to here).
From the junction in the area named Utro, continue right (straight to Luknja, Triglav and Dolič), first crossing partly overgrown scree slopes and a few torrents. After a few minutes of traversing with some short ascents and descents, arrive at the start of Zadnjiški dol. Here the path begins to ascend moderately along the right side of the valley. Higher up, the path veers a bit more right, temporarily taking us into the forest, then back to rockier terrain. The path continues to a small spring, beside which is a bench for resting. Further on, the path ascends moderately to steeply for some time and gradually enters the scree under Zadnjiški Ozebník. With views of nearby walls of surrounding peaks, ascend to the saddle Čez Dol, where the path flattens and splits into two.
At the mentioned junction, continue left towards Zasavska koča na Prehodavcih (straight to Trenta) and ascend along the path continuing over quite steep and partly exposed slopes. Follow this somewhat narrower path to the nearby junction where it joins the mule track from Trenta.
(If the short somewhat exposed section seems too dangerous, reach the mentioned junction via a slightly longer path. In this case, at the previous junction continue straight towards Trenta and then a bit further left towards Prehodavci).
At the mentioned junction, continue straight and ascend along the wide mule track crossing steep and sheer slopes. During the ascent over the sheer slope, notice a small "chapel" (statue of Mary with Jesus) on the left.
Continuing, the slope along the path becomes less steep and increasingly panoramic. Higher, the well-preserved mule track leads over a slightly less steep slope of Zelene grive, above which the slope steepens again. Follow some short steep parts, then the path and slope flatten. Slightly above an indistinct break, reach a marked junction, continue left (right to Lepo oz. Veliko špičje - Stanko Kos path, straight to Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih) towards the nearby Zasavska koča na Prehodavcih. The path leads along a wide panoramic ridge, past the winter bivouac in a few minutes to Zasavska koča na Prehodavcih.
From the hut, head northeast, first descending slightly towards Prehodavci saddle. The path leads to a junction where right goes the path to drinking water.
Here the path ascends again, crossing slopes above Jezero pod Vršacem. Then it ascends more steeply to the saddle between Kanjavec and Vodnikov Vršac.
From the saddle, continue a few dozen meters along the marked path (Mira Marko Debelak path) which starts descending. Leave the marked path and head left into pathless terrain. Walk easy grassy slopes, with some cairns for orientation. After short ascent, reach south slopes of the peak and final ascent up the panoramic slope to the summit.
