Access to starting point:
We drive into the center of Bovec, where from a crossroad at the main square we continue on an ascending road which past the post office starts ascending towards the nearby church. We bypass the mentioned church on the left side, and then we get to Kaninska vas. Bovec then ends and the road for some time leads towards the west. At a smaller crossing we leave the main asphalt road which leads towards the village Plužna and we continue driving on a slightly right road (behind the crossroad there are signs for road Gozdec). Behind the nearby homestead, the road once again splits, this time we choose a slightly left road (slightly right Zavrzelno and the starting point of the path on Rombon). Further, we are ascending on the macadam road which higher brings us to B cableway station on Kanin, where we park on a larger macadam parking lot.
To the starting point at B station we can come also by a cable car.
Path description:
From the parking lot few steps we continue on the road which leads higher, and we leave it still before the traffic sign, which in specific time prohibits further driving, right on a marked footpath. The path at first crosses route of the cableway, and then it passes into the forest, through which we are at first gently to moderately ascending. A well-beaten path at the end point of one of the ziplines ends, and we continue on less beaten marked path, which gradually passes on a steep and for slipping dangerous slopes, where we also cross a smaller wooden bridge, which is already in doubtful condition. After the bridge follows also some exposed crossing, after that slope becomes less steep, and footpath after the crossing of a torrent becomes gradually steeper. Few minutes higher we join the path from Bovec, and still quite steep path we follow to the mountain pasture Krnica, where there stands a shepherd hut.
