Access to starting point:
Between Most na Soči and Tolmin, the road branches off in Poljubinj. From Poljubinj we drive ahead towards the village Ljubinj, where behind the church we turn left towards the mountain pasture Razor and Stador. The road brings us to the parking lot on the mountain pasture Stador, where nearby there is a mountain hut. We drive further on the mountain pasture Lom and further on the road following the signs mountain pasture Planina Razor. At the altitude 1150 meters we come on the mountain pasture Kuk, where there is a parking lot on which we park. Further driving is forbidden.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on for traffic closed road which after few ten strides brings us on the mountain pasture Kuk, where in the summer time we can buy homemade milk products (sour milk, cheese, curd). The road further starts gently ascending and eventually brings us to the next gate. After the gate, the path goes into the forest and is barely ascending, and occasionally the path even slightly descends. After one hour of walking, the path brings us on the mountain pasture Razor, where there is the mountain hut.
From the mountain hut, we continue in the direction of Globoko, Vogel, Vrh nad Škrbino on the path which crosses a lane of a forest and then on a gentle grassy slope splits.
From the crossing, we continue right (straight Vrh nad Škrbino and Dom na Komni) and we start moderately ascending. The path quickly returns into the forest and it brings us to the next crossing.
Again we continue right in the direction of Vogel (left Globoko) and gradually we start ascending steeper. We quickly leave the forest and then we start ascending on a gradually steeper slope. With nice views on Tolminsko, we higher reach southwest broad ridge of Vrh Krnic, where the path for some time flattens and it turns left. The path ahead is ascending diagonally and leads us above Krnica and on slopes of Vrh Krnic. After the crossing of smaller valley, where unmarked footpath branches off to the left, which leads on the saddle between the mentioned peak and Vogel, the path passes on slopes of Vogel, where it ascends diagonally on a steep slope. Higher, we reach the ridge of Vogel, where the path turns left (right Žabiški Kuk). Next follows also good 10 minutes of ascent and a panoramic path brings us on 1922 meters high peak Vogel.
From the top of Vogel we continue left and on the ridge in few minutes we descend to the saddle between Vogel and Vrh Krnic. Here the marked path continues to the right, and we continue straight on an unmarked footpath, on which we in two, three minutes ascend on Vrh Krnic.
