Access to starting point:
From Bovec, we drive towards Trenta or vice versa. At the village Soča, more precisely at the spot, where signs for tourist farm Jelinčič point us to the right (from the direction Trenta - left), we leave the main road and we continue driving on narrower, but asphalted road. The road ahead is ascending through dispersed settlement Vrsnik and higher brings us to the starting point of the path for the ascent on the mountain pasture Za Skalo. We still continue on occasionally quite steep road, and higher it brings us to a sharp left turn, in the middle of which with a gate closed road branches off to the right. We park on a parking lot, which is located right next to the mentioned crossroad.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on the right road which is with a traffic sign and a gate closed for public traffic. The road is at first ascending gently through the forest and then it gets very close stream Suhi potok (here, if we will step a little from the path, on the nearby footbridge, we can see smaller waterfall, or rapids of the mentioned stream). The road then through two successive zig-zags ascends a little steeper, and then turns more to the right, where at first over the bridge we cross the stream Suhi potok, after that cart track towards the nearby holiday cottage branches off to the right downwards. We follow the macadam road only few 10 meters and then on the left side we notice a cairn, which points us on unmarked, but easy to follow footpath. The path ahead ascends through the forest and higher crosses with bushes covered slope (Plazič), from where a nice view opens up on Bavški Grintavec. The path immediately returns into the forest and a little further only crosses a forest road. The path ahead is ascending gently on at first indistinct small valley, and then it avoids it left in the forest, where it again starts ascending steeper. Here we will on the right side hear roaring of the nearby waterfall, and we continue on a pleasant forest path, which higher again crosses a forest road (this time is not the same road). We continue on for a short time more overgrown path, which turns a little to the right and it quickly brings us to the end of the nearby cart track. On the mentioned cart track we walk to the near road, and we walk there only few steps, and then on the left side we will notice the continuation of forest footpath. Further, we are ascending on the mentioned path, and then we come out of the forest, where we step on the bottom edge of the mountain pasture Planina v Plazeh. Here we continue right to the near hunting observatory, where we again step on a rough road.
We continue towards the east (left through a meadow in 5 minutes we get to TNP cottage on the mountain pasture Planina v Plazeh) on a rough road which crosses slopes in already mentioned direction. The mentioned road, we follow approximately 5 minutes, and then we will notice on the left side at first a poorly visible footpath which is short time ascending parallel with the mentioned road (cart track), and then passes into the forest, where continues on an old military mule track. On individual parts a little more overgrown path, higher starts ascending steeper and out of the forest gradually brings us on the more and more panoramic slopes. Higher, the path turns to the right and it ascends diagonally over a little steeper slope. The path, from which beautiful views start to open up on the ridge of Špičje, quickly brings us on a saddle Čez Drt, where joins the path from Trenta or Trebiški dol.
We continue left and on a little more steep path in 10 minutes of additional walking, we step on panoramic Čisti vrh.
