Access to starting point:
A) From Kranjska Gora over the mountain pass Vršič or Predel we drive in Bovec, where we park at the bottom station of the cable car on Kanin (cableway is located near the gas station). Then we buy a ticket and go with a cable car to D station.

Path description:
From D station we go slightly left on the path in the direction of Kanin and mountain hut (slightly right Prestreljenik and Rombon). We at first walk on the route of the ski slope, and then the path splits. Slightly to the right continues the path on Visoki Kanin and the path towards the window in Prestreljenik, and we continue slightly to the left and by the foot of the scree we walk to the foot of a smaller wall. Here the steel cables show up with the help of which we ascend over technically demanding part. After approximately 15 minutes, the steepness decreases and a panoramic path then continues with some shorter ascents and descents, on exposed parts, where the path runs above cracks or abysses, we still get help from fixed safety gear. Such a path which continues on Kanin karst terrain, we then follow to bivouac, from which in few steps we descend to the mountain hut Dom Petra Skalarja na Kaninu.
From the mountain hut, we lightly descend to the foot of Konjc, where we leave the marked path and on easier pathless terrain we ascend to the near wall. Next follows a very difficult ascent, where with climbing up to II. grade, on the exposed slope, in approximately 5 minutes we climb on a panoramic peak.
D station - Dom Petra Skalarja 0:50, Dom Petra Skalarja - Konjc 0:10.
