Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Kranjska Gora, and then we continue driving through the border crossing Rateče into Italy. We drive towards Trbiž / Tarvisio, and then at the beginning of the mentioned town, we turn left in the direction of Bovec. Further, we drive on a regional road towards the border crossing Predel, and only a little after the mentioned border crossing (so, when we are already on the Slovenian side) we turn left in the direction of saddle Mangartsko sedlo. Further, we drive on in parts narrow and zig zag road (road also has some tunnels), and we are driving there to a saddle Mangartsko sedlo, where on a parking lot at 2050 meters above the sea level we also park. The road is payable.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we at first walk to a saddle Mangartsko sedlo, from where we continue right towards the east and we continue on a scenic grassy ridge. After few minutes of easy walking path ascends a little steeper and on the right south side bypasses the nearby Travnik (2200 meters). From here ahead the path becomes a little steeper, and after approximately 30 minutes of walking from the starting point it brings us to a crossing, where the path splits into two parts; left Italian and right Slovenian path.
We continue in the direction of Italian path, and which quickly passes on the Italian side of Mangart, where at first it is only moderately ascending. Already after few minutes, the path becomes steeper and brings us on smooth rocky plates, where we have fixed safety gear for help, mainly steel cables. Higher, the path turns a little more to the left and passes on steep scree below the walls of Mangart (on this part we can in the early summer still run into snow fields). Further, the path starts turning to the right and it brings us to a crossing on the eastern side of the mountain. Here we again step on the Slovenian side and we continue right in the direction of Mangart (left path leads on a ridge and continues towards Jalovec, Vevnica and Tamar). The path ahead continues to turning towards the right, so that we almost circle the peak. Higher, we cross one more gully, and then we start ascending on quite steep and to falling stones exposed slope. From here follows only few minutes of ascent and the path with increasingly beautiful view brings us to the top of Mangart.
