Avsa - Dom na Matajure (old path)

Access to starting point:
A) We drive to Tolmin, and then we continue driving towards Kobarid. When we get to the settlement Idrsko, we turn left in the direction of the settlement Livek, from Livek we follow the signs for Avsa and Matajur. From Avsa we continue good 300 meters ahead, and then we park on a marked parking lot.
B) From Kobarid we drive towards Tolmin, but only to the settlement Idrsko, where we turn right in the direction of the settlement Livek, and from Livek we follow the signs for Avsa and Matajur. From Avsa we continue good 300 meters ahead, and then we park on a marked parking lot.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on a marked path in the direction of Matajur, where we at first walk through the forest and for some time we step on a cart track. Next follows an ascent through two shorter meadows, and then we return into a dense forest, through which we are moderately to steeply ascending, and here and there path also slightly descends. Higher, we cross metal fence, behind which, the path turns right and continues on a cart track. Cart track soon ends, and we continue on a footpath which continues through partly grassy slope, surrounded by lanes of forest. Even a little further, the path turns left and on slopes of Srednji vrh entirely flattens.
Here we can on pathless terrain in few minutes ascend on Srednji vrh, otherwise we continue on a marked path, which crosses slopes of the mentioned summit and a little ahead joins the forest road. We follow the road to the right, and then we quickly get to a marked crossing, which is situated into a smaller valley between Mrzli vrh and Srednji vrh.
At the crossing marked path but without blazes branches off to the right on Mrzli vrh, Srednji vrh and Idrska planina, and we continue on the road which on the west side of Mrzli vrh splits.
We continue on the left road (right Idrska planina), which only a little further joins "new" path from Avsa or Livek.
From poorly noticeable crossing we still walk on the road and we get to the next, this time a well-marked crossing.
Right continues normal path on Matajur, and we continue straight in the direction of the mountain hut Dom na Matajure and we still walk on the road which a little ahead we leave because blazes point us right in the forest. Next follows an ascent through the forest and then we cross a wider cart track which from the road little higher branches off to the right. We continue ascending on quite steep mountain path, which gradually flattens and when we step out of the forest, joins the forest road.
Still before we reached the road, we practically unnoticeably crossed national border, and a little higher we get to built rocky cottage, which is situated near the cave Glava / Grotta di Casera. We continue on the road, higher on a footpath we cut right turn, after that when forest already gets quite thinner, we get to a marked crossing, which is situated on the left hairpin turn of road.
From hairpin turn in the direction of straight continues the path on Matajur, and we continue on an increasingly bad road which further crosses southeastern slopes of Matajur. After few minutes of crossing, we reach the southeastern ridge and also marked crossing, where we join the path from the mountain hut Pelizzo.
We continue straight in the direction of the mountain hut Dom na Matajure (left downwards Mountain hut Pelizzo), right peak Matajur and we still cross grassy slopes. Panoramic and nicely settled footpath, we then follow to the mountain hut Dom na Matajure, which we reach after approximately 10 minutes of additional walking.

Trip can be extended to: Monte Mataiur/Matajur
