Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Kranjska Gora, and then we continue driving towards Rateče and ahead in Italy. When we cross the border we drive on the main road only about 500 meters and then by the road we notice signposts for "Monte Forno and Bivio M. Cavallar". Here we continue right on a bad macadam road, by which about 50 meters ahead we park on an appropriate place by the road.
Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on an increasingly bad road which quickly brings us on a relatively steep meadows. Over meadows we walk on a marked cart track and we are mostly ascending diagonally towards the right. At first beautiful views are opening up on Julian Alps, and then the path passes into the forest and turns to the left. Further, we are ascending diagonally towards the northwest, and the path leads on an old mule track, which higher joins the macadam road. When we step on the road, we continue sharply right, and it ascends on a smaller saddle, after which the road towards the summit Kavalar (also Kavalarka) / Monte Cavallar branches off to the left, and we continue straight on the road which starts moderately descending. For some time we are descending on the road, by which we notice numerous warnings, that we are not allowed to leave the road, because otherwise we would step on private property. After a short descent at first road towards Marija Snežna / Madonna della Neve (on a sign Maria im Schnee) branches off to the left, and few meters ahead to the right road towards Kopa / Monte Coppa (1497 meters). In both cases we continue straight, and on the road we descend a little lower, to the next crossroad, by which stand trough with water and hiking signposts.
Here we continue slightly right and past bunker from the time of Rapallo border, we ascend little higher, to the spot, where signs for Peč (on a sign German caption Dreiländereck) point us to the right on a moderately steep cart track, on which in few minutes we ascend to bivouac without borders (caption on bivouac - Senza Confini Hütte).
From the bivouac in the direction of straight continues the path which higher joins Slovenian path (steep footpath), and we continue left in the forest and we at first ascend on the old military road, and then we are ascending on parallel, but quite steep mountain path. Higher, the path flattens and brings us on an indistinct ridge, on which we ascend to a grazing fence. Mentioned fence we cross, and behind it we continue right on the nearby peak, from which a nice view opens up mainly towards Austria. For a view on Julian Alps we have to descend a little on the Slovenian side.
On the way: Bivak Senza Confini (1319m)
