Drežnica - Krn (south way)

Access to starting point:
From Tolmin or Bovec we drive to Kobarid, from there we follow the road in the direction of Drežnica (the turn-off is from the Kobarid bypass). We continue across the bridge over the Soča River and immediately after the bridge we turn left in the direction of Drežnica. We then follow this mostly ascending road to the center of Drežnica, where we turn right and drive on to the primary school, which is the starting point of our path.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we head past the chapel and primary school on the marked path to Krn. Further on, the path leads us through the forest and then along the pasture to the Triglav National Park sign. Here, the path along the road also joins us (road from Drežnica), but we continue on the marked path, which a little higher crosses the Ročica stream, after which we arrive at the marked junction, where we continue right in the direction of the easier path to Krn (left bivouac and very demanding path to Krn).
The path ahead runs through the forest and is well marked all the way. Higher up, an unmarked path from Podbrdo joins from the right, but here we continue left and then gradually begin ascending in zigzags. For some time we ascend relatively steeply, then we arrive at a small clearing where a hunting hut stands.
From the hunting hut onward, the path begins to ascend below the slopes of Kožljak (1587 m) and soon turns slightly to the left. Higher up, the path takes us out of the forest and fine views open up toward Drežnica and Krasji vrh (1773 m). Further on, the path crosses fairly steep slopes for a while, then turns slightly to the right and joins the path from the Kuhinja pasture.
Here we continue left toward Krn and proceed with the ascent along the old military mule track, which zigzags up along an indistinct ridge. This very scenic path continues along the edge of the expansive grassy slopes of Krn, gradually approaching Gomiščkovo zavetišče, which we have seen ahead of us for some time. Higher up, the grassy slope gradually gives way to scree, and the moderately steep path brings us to the aforementioned hut, where the Pot Silva Korena joins from the left.
From the hut, we continue toward Krn, which we reach after about 10 minutes of further walking.

Along the route: Gomiščkovo zavetišče na Krnu (2182m)
