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 settlement Rabelj / Cave del Predil. Here we leave the main road and we turn right. At the church, we again turn right and we cross a narrow assembly bridge. After the bridge, we continue left and the road starts slowly ascending. We then follow the macadam road all the way to the end, where we park near the abandoned mine building.
From Bovec, we drive over a border crossing Predel, and then ahead in the direction towards Trbiž, but only to the settlement Rabelj / Cave del Predil. At the right turn, we cross a bridge, immediately after the bridge we leave the main road and we turn left. At the church, we again turn left and we cross a narrow assembly bridge. After the bridge, we continue left and the road starts slowly ascending. We then follow the macadam road all the way to the end, where we park near the abandoned mine building.
Path description:
At the end of the road, we go in the forest on a footpath following the signs Monte Re. The path at first is for some time ascending in zig-zags, and then it brings us to a crossing. Sign on a tree points us left upwards and the path is becoming steeper and steeper. The path here runs on an indistinct ridge mostly by a wire fence and a pipeline. More frequently also wonderful views are opening up on the nearby surroundings (Rabeljske špice, lake Rabeljsko jezero, Viš…). When we come out of the forest, the steepness for a short time decreases and then the path turns left and starts ascending on a grassy slope. Such a path then soon brings us on Mala Kraljevska špica.
From the top that has a cross, we then descend a little and the path again brings us into the forest. We again start ascending steeper and steeper and eventually the forest passes into dwarf pines. On some spots, the path is so steep, that we also have to use hands. Out of the dwarf pines occasionally nice views open up mainly in the direction of Viš, later also towards Kamniti Lovec and Mangart. In the last part of the path follows an ascent on with dwarf pines covered ridge and on the summit, a breathtaking view opens up on all sides.
