Access to starting point:
First, we drive to the center of Kobarid, and then we continue driving towards the border crossing Robič. Near the village Staro selo, we leave the main road which runs towards the border crossing Robič and we continue driving right in the direction of Breginj. Further, we follow a mainly ascending road to Breginj, where behind the church in the village we continue right in the direction of "Most na Nadiži" (bridge on Nadiža). The mentioned road, we follow to the mentioned bridge (bridge is connection between Slovenia and Italy), and then on the other side of the bridge we continue right. Narrow and steep road then brings us in the village Plastišča / Platischis, and we follow it to the next hamlet Bona / Bonis. Here we continue right (direction Montemaggiore) and the road past equestrian park brings us into the forest, where it starts ascending steeply. Higher, we come to a smaller crossroad, where we continue sharply right. The road then leads us through the village Brezje / Montemaggiore. In sharp left turn macadam road branches off to the right. At the crossroad, there are also signposts and blazes for path 742. We park on an appropriate place near mentioned crossroad.
Path description:
In the village Brezje we go right on a macadam road following the signs “Pta di Montemaggiore“. The road soon starts slightly descending and it brings us to a marked crossing. Here we leave the forest road and go on a narrow footpath left upwards. The path starts ascending and runs through the beech forest. Further, the path turns slightly to the right, crosses some streams, and then it brings us out of the forest. Here from the left joins also the other path from the village Brezje. At the crossing, we continue right and we cross short scree below rockfall. The path then brings us in the pine forest through which we are for quite some time ascending. Out of the forest path brings us on grassy slopes from which nice views open up towards Breški Jalovec, Stol and Matajur. We can also clearly see sea. Next follows an ascent on grassy slopes, which are gradually becoming steeper. Later, the path turns to the right and crosses steep slopes below Jalovec. Still in ascent we cross steep grassy slopes, later the path leads us also through some very short sections of forest. Such a path then soon brings us to the main ridge, where there is also a marked crossing.
At the crossing, we continue left on the ridge, straight downwards leads the path towards the saddle Tanamea / Tam na meji, and right leads the path on the ridge towards the summit Gnjilica, Nad Ohojami and forward towards Musc.
So we continue on a panoramic grassy ridge towards the west. Ridge in the last part becomes a little narrower and then follows only a short little steeper ascent to the top o Breški Jalovec.
