Mala Mojstrovka - Vrsic

From the Vrsic Pass, a marked hiking trail with moderate steepness leads north to the point Vratica 1800 m - here a sharp turn southwest - passing a junction on the right that leads to the Sleme - soon the start of the Hanzova Pot 1960 m is reached. Up to here 350 m ascent and about 1 hour. The via ferrata is located below the north face of the Mojstrovka and climbs in stages, some narrower chimneys and exposed traverses are demanding, concentration required. Due to the location of the via ferrata under the north face, long-lasting snowfields can be expected in spring, which could be tricky. Finally, a kind of exit is reached and it continues loudly to the summit, which becomes visible. The last summit ascent offers easy, interesting climbing without rope protection. The summit is reached after about 380 m of via ferrata. Total approx. 2.5 hours. The descent to the southeast follows a sloping scree field where footpaths repeatedly disappear, rather not very pleasant. Then the point Vratca Pod Mojstrovko at about 2000 m is reached. A bend steeply down north into a scree field about 400 m long. To ease the steepness, a safety cable was installed along the north side of the rock face, which helps to mitigate the steepness downwards. Still, caution and sure-footedness necessary. The last section to the starting point goes through dwarf pine terrain easily to the starting point.
