Access to starting point:
From Kranjska Gora over the border crossing Rateče we drive to Trbiž / Tarvisio. In Trbiž we continue left in the direction of Bovec and we follow the road to the crossroad near the lake Rabeljsko jezero. Here we continue right in the direction of Nevejski preval / Sella Nevea. This road which is mostly ascending we follow to the spot, where a macadam road branches off to the right. At the turn off is monument with a cross and on a tree signpost with the caption “Corsi”. We then follow the macadam road for few turns, after that a little before the gate we park on a parking lot by the road.
From Bovec, we drive to the border crossing Predel, from which we descend to italian side. Only a little after the lake Rabeljsko jezero we come to a crossroad, where we continue left in the direction of Nevejski preval / Sella Nevea. Further, follow the upper description.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on a macadam road which in zig-zags starts ascending. The road runs through the forest, so there is not much of a view. Only occasionally a view opens up towards the south and southeast. The road then turns to the left and starts ascending even a little steeper towards the north. Steep and with a concrete paved road then brings us out of the forest on the mountain pasture Viška planina (1530m).
At the bottom station of a cargo cableway we turn left and we continue on the road which leads over mountain pasture. At the end of the mountain pasture then blazes point us on a footpath which is at first still ascending through the forest and then again brings us out of the forest on grassy slopes. Here the path turns right and runs towards the north and soon brings us into dwarf pines. Through dwarf pines we again start ascending a little steeper and also the view is increasingly beautiful. Later, the path brings us out of the dwarf pines and then follows a shorter ascent to a crossing where we join the path 625, which leads from the saddle Nevejsko sedlo towards the mountain hut Corsi. At the crossroad, we go right and relatively wide path then leads us below an overhang walls and past some military tunnels from the first world war. To the mountain hut Corsi then follows only a shorter descent on a grassy terrain.
