D station - Mali Kanin

Access to starting point:
From Kranjska Gora over mountain pass Vršič or Predel we drive in Bovec, where we park at the bottom station of the cable car on Kanin (cable car is located near the gas station). Then we buy a ticket and go with a cable car to D station.
From Primorska side at first we drive into a valley of river Soča and then through Tolmin and Kobarid we drive in Bovec. Further, follow the upper description.

Path description:
From D station we go left in the direction towards Visoki Kanin, mountain hut Dom Petra Skalarja and window in Prestreljenik (right Prestreljenik and Rombon). And already after few minutes of walking, the path branches off to the left towards the mountain hut Dom Petra Skalarja on Kanin. We continue straight on the path which after a short ascent brings us to the next crossing. We continue in the direction of Visoki Kanin (right window Prestreljeniško okno). The path here ascends a little steeper and there are also some steel cables for help. The path then brings us to an indistinct saddle below Hudi Vršič (2474 meters), where there is also a crossing. We continue right, and left runs the path towards the mountain hut Dom Petra Skalarja. After that, the path for some time crosses slopes on the south side of the border ridge. Next follows a little steeper ascent on rocky terrain towards the ridge on which a nice view opens up towards Montaž and Viš. The path on a slightly exposed ridge then runs towards the west and there are also some fixed safety gear for help. Next follows a short descent with the help of fixed safety gear towards the notch Kaninska škrbina and then again the ascent towards the ridge. A little below the summit from the right side joins even more demanding path from Italian side. To the top then follows only a shorter ascent on a panoramic ridge.
From the top of Visoki Kanin we descend a little on a slightly exposed ridge. Ridge then turns slightly to the left and a short ascent follows on a ridge to the top. In the last part of the path some additional caution is needed because the path on the ridge from Visoki Kanin ahead isn't secured.
