Access to starting point:
We drive into Humin (italian Gemona del Friuli) in Italy. From Slovenia to Gemona we can come past Kranjska Gora, Trbiž (italian Tarvisio) and highway A23 (following the signs E55-A4-Udine) to exit Gemona-Osoppo. Toll is 6,20 eur (in 2019). Alternative path to Gemona is on Vipava highway into Italy and past Videm (italian Udine) to Gemona. In Humin (italian Gemona del Friuli) we need to find street with signs "Strada di Foredor", which is steeply winding in the eastern direction into slopes towards the mountain hut. Street is the easiest to find by driving with a car through center and then we stick north eastern direction with numerous streets, that are ascending above the town. With height there is less and less streets, until there is only Strada di Foredor. Stradad di Foredor is asphalted, narrow, steep road which in parts has very sharp turns. Encounter cars can be problematic, so we need to remember spots, where it is possible to pass vehicles. We follow the road all the way to first mountain pasture, on which there stand numerous huts. After the mountain pasture there is sharp but wide turn of the macadam road, where we park.
Path description:
The path towards the mountain hut starts at the turn, from where by clearly visible signs path ascends through the forest. After few minutes, the path comes out of the forest on a clearing, from where a view opens up towards steepness of Veliki Karman and upwards on the path towards the mountain hut. Before the mountain hut the path joins the access road which ends at the mountain hut (italian Malga Cuarnan). Parking at the mountain hut isn't allowed.
