Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on the asphalt road which leads towards the saddle Mangartsko sedlo, and we are ascending there to first right turn, or to the spot, where it crosses the stream Mangartski potok. At the mentioned turn, before we cross the bridge, we continue straight on a footpath in the direction of the mountain pasture Mangartska planina. We continue with a nice view towards Mangart, on the path which is ascending parallel with the stream and a little higher we cross also landslide Stože, which happened in November 2000. When we leave the area of landslide we gradually pass into the forest, through which we moderately ascend to the western edge of the mountain pasture Mangartska planina.
