Access to starting point:
From the road Bovec - Predel at fortress Kluže an asphalt road into a valley Bavšica branches off to the right. We go on the mentioned road which we follow in a moderate ascent to the parking lot in Bavšica (parking lot is located next to TNP signs).
Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on the left rough road in the direction of the mountain hut Zavetišče pod Špičkom and mountain pasture Bala (right Bavški Grintavec) and we follow it a little less than 5 minutes to the spot, where blazes point us to the left on at first a wide footpath. The path soon narrows and it brings us to a smaller crossing, where blazes point us sharply right, on a gradually increasingly steep footpath. The path soon flattens and it brings us to abandoned village Logje (just few meters from the path there is a drinking water).
From the village Logje we continue on a marked footpath which continues on a gentle grassy slope. Further, the path is ascending a little steeper and passes on partly rocky terrain (scree overgrown with high grass). The path then again flattens and passes into a dense forest, where it then continues all the way to an abandoned mountain pasture Bala.
From the mountain pasture, we still continue on a marked path, which then through a lane of a forest brings us to the last well by the path. Only few 10 meters after a well, we notice a hunting cottage Bala.
At the hunting cottage, we continue straight and we are then for some time ascending through the forest. Next follows a short ascent over a grassy slope (Jezerce, 1389 meters) and then again the ascent through the forest. When we for the last time come out of the forest follows only a short ascent to an indistinct saddle Prevala, 1560 meters.
From the saddle, where there is also poorly visible crossing we continue straight through the valley, and worse beaten path branches off to the right towards Vrh Osojnika. Here we at first descend few steps and then we continue on at first still very gentle valley ahead. Further, the path becomes steeper and starts ascending towards the saddle Čez Brežice.
On the saddle, we continue right where caption on rock “Špička” point us to. At first, we ascend left upward by the steel cable, and then the path brings us on a grassy slope on which we are for some time ascending. When we come below the mountain walls of Mali Ozebnik we continue to the right and by the steel cable in a gentle ascent, we cross precipitous slopes. On some spots on the path, there is also a lot of gravel, therefore additional caution is needed. The path then brings us to short very demanding part of the path. With the help of steel cables and some iron spikes we vertically ascend, and then we also few meters cross vertical slope to the right. Further path ascends on a little less steep but unsecured slope and follows an ascent on very crumbly gravel terrain to the notch Škrbina za Gradom.
From the notch, we descend on the scree below the walls of the peak Pelc nad Klonicami (2442 meters). The path then leads us on broken terrain past numerous rocks and boulders. In the last part, the path turns to the left and after a short descent brings us to the cottage Zavetišče pod Špičkom.
