Access to starting point:
From Kranjska Gora over the border crossing Rateče we drive to Trbiž / Tarvisio. In Trbiž we continue left in the direction of Bovec and we follow the road to the crossroad near the lake Rabeljsko jezero. Here we continue right in the direction of Nevejski preval / Sella Nevea. This road which is mostly ascending we follow to the bridge, where at the left turn road crosses the stream Bele vode / Rio Bianco. On the left side of the road, we will notice few smaller parking spots.
From Bovec, we drive to the border crossing Predel, from which we descend to italian side. Only a little after the lake Rabeljsko jezero we come to the crossroad, where we continue left in the direction of Nevejski preval / Sella Nevea. Further, follow the upper description.
Path description:
From the signposts at the beginning of the path (before the bridge on the right side of the road) we continue through the forest on the right side of the stream Rio Bianco by which we are slightly ascending for quite some time. After the stream valley Bele vode (italian Riobianco) also got the name. The path then turns to the left and few times crosses smaller streams. Later, the path again turns a little to the right and shorter hairpin ascent follows to abandoned mountain hut Brunner where because of the forest there isn't any view. At the mountain hut where there is also a crossing we continue straight on the path 625 in the direction of bivouac Gorizia. After that, the path soon comes out of the forest and is ascending by the stream through dwarf pines. Later, the path turns to the left and it brings us to a crossing. We continue on the left path towards the bivouac Gorizia and to the right the path towards the notch Bele vode (italian Forca di Rio Bianco) branches off. Dwarf pines then soon ends, and the path starts ascending a little steeper. When the path again flattens a little, sign on the rock point us to the left towards the bivouac to which we have approximately 50 meters, and right runs direct path towards the notch Krniška škrbina (italian Forcella part of Vallone).
