Access to starting point:
We drive to Tolmin, and then we continue driving in the direction of Žabče and Zadlaz (turn-off from the main road is located on the left bank of Tolminka). When we get to Žabče, at the smaller crossroad we continue slightly right in the direction of the settlement Zadlaz. In the settlement Zadlaz-Žabče the road for some time descends, where we over a bridge crosses Zadlaščica, and then again starts ascending steeply on narrow, but all the time asphalt road. After approximately 12 km from the main road we get to the marked parking lot in Tolminske Ravne, where we park.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on the path in the direction of the mountain hut Koča na planini Razor and mountain pasture Planina na Kalu. At first, we walk on a cart track which continues from the nearby house and leads us through a panoramic meadow. On the other side of the meadow, we cross a grazing fence and the path brings us to a marked crossing, where we continue on the lower right cart track (slightly left mountain pasture Planina na Kalu).
Further, we walk on a cart track which is slightly descending towards the right, and then it flattens and few minutes continues without large changes in altitude. After concrete trough path once again splits, and we choose the left steep path (path which continues straight also leads to the mountain pasture Razor, but the path is longer, but technically undemanding).
The path ahead again starts ascending, and it is ascending mostly towards the right, only here and there makes few hairpin turns. Higher, we pass over on steeper slopes, and a little further on exposed, but except first few steps, well-secured ledge. When the crossing ends path for some time returns into the forest, through which ascends steeper, and then we step out of the forest and the path flattens. From here follows few more minutes of walking with nice views on mountains, which are rising above the river basin of Zadlaščica and the path past cheese cottage brings us to the mountain hut Koča na planini Razor.
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.
This time we continue straight in the direction of Vrh nad Škrbino and Dom na Komni (right Vogel, Globoko and Črna prst), on the path which turns slightly towards the left and is further ascending on with dwarf pines vegetated slope. After few minutes, the path for some time flattens, and then north from indistinct peak Kopecko, after shorter moderate ascent brings us to the next crossing. We continue left in the direction of saddle Škrbina (right Vrh nad Škrbino - south path). The path soon after that comes out of the dwarf pines on an interesting slopes, where we will on our right side notice a steep rocky plates, which form for climbers interesting wall, which isn't too steep. The path ahead ascends diagonally over the scree to a saddle Škrbina, which is situated at an altitude 1910 meters.
When we step on Škrbina, a nice view opens up on Bohinj side, and at the crossing, we continue left in the direction of Kuk (right Vrh nad Škrbino, straight downwards Dom na Komni and ski slope Vogel). The path ahead starts ascending diagonally over steep plates, and then both path and also slope flatten out a little. The path ahead passes below shorter wall of Vrh Kont, and then starts gently descending over occasionally steeper scree. The path ahead on Primorska side crosses also Podrta gora and Mali vrh, and then returns on the main ridge of Spodnje Bohinjske gore, which reaches right on the saddle between Mali vrh and Zeleni vrh. From here we continue in the same direction, only that path from the slopes passes on in parts exposed ridge. The marked path, which occasionally relatively steeply ascends, then with increasingly beautiful views, we follow all the way to grassy Zeleni vrh.
