Access to starting point:
First, we drive to the center of Kobarid, and then we continue driving towards the border crossing Robič. Near the village Staro selo, we leave the main road which runs towards the border crossing Robič and we continue driving right in the direction of Breginj. Further, we follow a mainly ascending road to Breginj, where we park on a parking lot near the church.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue past the church (we bypass it on the right side) and we continue the ascent on an asphalt road in the direction of Stol and Muzec. The road at first ascends through the village, at the crossroads we follow it in an already known direction. Higher, the road loses an asphalt covering and past an old mill brings us to a marked crossroad, where we continue slightly right (left church of Marija Snežna). The road which continues to moderately ascend, soon brings us to a marked crossing, where a marked footpath on Muzec (Musc) branches off to the left.
We go on the mentioned path, which is further moderately ascending through the forest. Further, the path brings us to a smaller well (source with a drinking water), and then turns a little to the left and starts ascending steeper. Higher, the path flattens and it brings us to a smaller crossing, where we continue right (straight Plazi). The path ahead again starts ascending steeper through the forest and then it brings us on a sharp and crumbly ridge. On the mentioned ridge leads an exposed footpath, over which in few minutes we pass into a lane of a forest. When we step out of the forest, the path brings us on grassy slopes, where in few minutes of additional walking, we get to a marked crossing.
We continue left (slightly right Klatnica - source of drinking water) on a steeper mountain path. The path higher passes on a panoramic and very steep side ridge, on which we are then ascending for quite some time. Higher, we come to a smaller unmarked crossing, where we continue on the left less steep path (right very steep path leads directly on Muzec). The left path then ascends diagonally and past a smaller abyss brings us on the main ridge of Muzec. Here we continue left (right Muzec) and after few 10 strides of additional walking, we get to the bivouac below Muzec.
From the bivouac, we continue towards the west, on a panoramic ridge path, which gradually starts ascending steeper and steeper. This increasingly panoramic path, which is in the upper part also pretty steep, we then follow all the way to the top of Gabrovec, which we reach after 15 minutes of additional walking.
From the top, we continue on the ridge towards the west and at first, we descend a little. Next follows few shorter ascents over few indistinct peaks. Later we avoid smaller grassy summit on the right side of the ridge and then we cross a slope below the summit through the forest. When we come out of the forest follows a crossing of short little steeper slope, and then we steeper ascend on a ridge. After few shorter ascents on a ridge path brings us on an indistinct grassy peak Nad Ohojami.
From the top, we continue on the ridge on which we again descend a little. Steeper parts of the ridge path further avoids on the northern with a forest covered side and then crosses slopes towards the west. Such a path past indistinct peak Nizki vrh brings us to a marked crossing. Left downwards leads the path through Plazi, and we continue straight on a ridge following the signs “Br. Jalovec 1h”. The path continues to run on a ridge and occasionally through the forest on the northern side of the ridge. Next follows a short ascent on a ridge, which brings us on a grassy peak Gnjilica.
From the top, we continue towards the west and after descent, the path brings us again in the forest. After the crossing through the forest we come again on a grassy ridge, which is situated already on the Italian side of the border. From here we then have few more strides to a marked crossing.
At the crossing, we continue straight on a ridge, right leads the path towards the saddle Tanamea / Tam na meji, and left downwards leads the path towards the village Brezje.
So we continue straight on a panoramic grassy ridge towards the west. Ridge in the last part becomes a little narrower and then follows only a short little steeper ascent to the top o Breški Jalovec.
