Access to starting point:
From Tolmin we drive towards Kobarid or vice versa, but only to a spot, where signs for Kamno point us to the right (from the direction Kobarid left) over a bridge. A relatively narrow and ascending road we then follow in the direction of village Vrsno and higher Krn. From the village Krn we continue in the direction of the mountain hut Koča na planini Kuhinja. When we get to a large parking lot right next to the mountain pasture Kuhinja, we continue slightly left and for 200 meters we drive on a macadam road, and then we park on a free parking lot at the mountain hut Koča na planini Kuhinja, where there is enough space for approximately 40 cars.
Path description:
In front of the mountain hut Koča na planini Kuhinja we go right in the direction of Krn and we continue on at first gentle, after that on occasionally steeper path which leads us on an ample grazing slopes crisscrossed with some grazing fences. With nice view towards Krn, Batognica and other surrounding mountains we few times cross occasionally bad mountain road, and after approximately 40 minutes of walking from the starting point, we get to the former military hamlet on the mountain pasture Slapnik.
The path ahead few more times crosses a road, after that joins the path from the end of the road (mountain pasture Zaslap). The path then in a moderate ascent on grassy slopes crosses a little to the right, and then again to the left to an unmarked crossing on an area named Leger. We continue right upward (straight normal path on Krn) on a poorly visible but marked footpath which is at first ascending parallel with usual path on Krn. A little higher wide but quite an overgrown path in a moderate ascent crosses slopes of Krn towards the east. Nice panoramic path then brings us below the notch Krnska škrbina. Next follows ten minutes of a steep ascent on a rocky slope to the notch Krnska škrbina, where we run into remains of world war. Here we continue on the right path in the direction of Batognica (left Krn, straight downwards lake Krnsko jezero), which becomes technically demanding. The path on an exposed path with the help of stairs runs on precipitous southern slopes of Batognica. In wet or snow serious risk of slip. Few meters below the summit, the path flattens and without any bigger problems brings us to the top.
