Path description:
We continue through the village, after that at crossroads we follow the signs for lake. The road higher becomes a macadam and passes into the forest, where flattens. Next follows some crossroads, and we still follow the signs for lake, and signs are mostly in three languages, namely Italian, German and Slovenian, and here and there only in Italian. The road, on which we walk mainly leads towards the east, and when it turns more towards the north, it also starts visibly descending. A little further, we leave the road and we continue left in the direction of the lake Spodnje Mangartsko jezero (at this sign is instead of Slovenian caption, caption in English). Next follows a shorter descent, and then forest path continues without large changes in altitude. Further, we also go past the lake Malo jezero / Lago Piccolo and lake Majceno jezero / Lago Piccolissimo, and then we descend to the lake Spodnje Mangartsko jezero.
When we reach coast of the lake because of better view on surrounding mountains, it is better to continue left, even though is right path a little shorter. Few minutes we walk by panoramic coast of the lake, after that over a bridge, little below a dam we cross the stream Jezerski potok. When we step on the road, we go right, and after few steps from the road slightly more to the right, on a walking path which leads around the lake. The path ahead leads us also past restaurant Edelweiss, and then we get to south side of the lake, where there is a crossing of multiple paths.
We continue in the direction of the lake Zgornje Mangartsko jezero, where we at first ascend towards the right, and then the path flattens and at climbing area turns a little to the left. After a shorter flat part some ascending follows and we get to the lake Zgornje Mangartsko jezero, from which a nice view opens up on mountains, which are steeply rising above the valley Mangartska dolina.
