Vas na Skali - Planina v Plazeh (by road)

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 which we follow to a smaller parking lot in front of a gate, that prohibits further driving.

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on a macadam road which is with a traffic sign and a gate closed for public traffic. The road at first starts moderately ascending towards the north, after that on an area named Kuhinja turns sharply to the right. Higher, we come on a steep and partly unvegetated slopes, from which a beautiful view opens up on surrounding mountains. The road then returns into the forest and past the TNP sign - main area brings us on or below Polog, where there stands a smaller wooden cottage and near it bench with a table.
We continue on a macadam road, on which from here ahead also cycling is forbidden. The road higher entirely flattens, and then continues with some shorter ascents and descents all the way to area named Dol pod plazmi. Here the road starts ascending steeper and higher makes some hairpin turns. After a time we get to the edge of the mountain pasture Planina v Plazeh, and at the spot, where we notice a hunting observatory, we leave the road and we continue on a slightly overgrown footpath, on which in 5 minutes of additional walking, we get to the cottage TNP on the mentioned mountain pasture.
