Access to starting point:
From Tolmin or Bovec we drive to Kobarid, from there we follow the road in the direction of Drežnica (turn-off of the road is from Kobarid bypass). We continue through a bridge over the river Soča and immediately after the bridge we turn left in the direction of Drežnica. In Drežnica we come to the crossroad, where branches off to the left road in the village Magozd, and we continue a little further to the next crossroad, where we turn left in the direction of Drežniške Ravne. The road then brings us to a crossroad in Drežniške Ravne, where we turn right upward in the direction of Krasji vrh. At the next crossroad, we again turn right and we follow the road to a trough with water, where the asphalt ends. Here is a smaller parking lot, where we park.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on a macadam road which has some shortcuts. If we continue on the road, we will after approximately an hour of walking on the left side of the road at the right turn notice signs for Krasji vrh. And if we go on a footpath we don't notice this signs because footpath on this part doesn't cross the road (it is 15 meters away). The path then ascends on a cart track and soon after that joins the path from the mountain pasture Zaprikraj. The path is then moderately ascending on slopes vegetated with forest. The path ahead crosses a clearing on which grows high grass and then again ascends to a crossing at an altitude 1450 meters.
We continue right in the direction of cave Snežna jama (left Krasji vrh past Koluji). The path ahead is at first ascending gently through the forest and a little higher runs over less vegetated slopes, where it brings us to a crossing. We continue straight, left five minutes downwards cave Snežna jama. The path then ascends a little steeper and it brings us to the ruins of world war. Left below us in a hollow we notice a bigger metal cage in which are gathered unexploded bombs. After that, the path passes on a ridge, where a nice view opens up on basin Bovška kotlina and surrounding peaks. Next follows a little less than ten minutes of walking on undemanding upper ridge.
