Planina Kuhinja - Batognica (via jezero v Lužnici)

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, where slightly left the road continues towards the mountain hut Koča na planini Kuhinja, we park on a large parking lot.

Path description:
From the parking lot at smaller quarry we continue on the right upper road in the direction of the mountain pasture Kašina (left mountain pasture Planina Kuhinja 3 minutes). The road which is further moderately ascending, already after few steps of additional walking brings us to the next crossing, where we continue right again (left mountain pasture Zaslap). Relatively gentle road which gradually changing into a cart track, soon brings us on ample grassy slopes, where we step on pastures of the mountain pasture Kašina.
Here the road or cart track turns even more to the right, after that makes a sharp left turn, and then it continues by crossing the slopes towards the right. After approximately 45 minutes (from the starting point) of a moderate ascent, relatively panoramic path brings us to with nettles covered mountain pasture Leskovca.
From the mentioned mountain pasture, we continue slightly left on a marked and at first quite gentle mountain path. The path which passes on the western and steeper and steeper grassy slopes, higher from the right joins also a little less beaten path from the mountain pasture Sleme. We continue left, on already very steep path, which is ascending by the foot of the steep walls of Maselnik (1906 meters). A little higher, the path which is because of substantial steepness exposed to falling stones, joins also the other path from the mountain pasture Sleme. We continue straight on the path which a little higher flattens, and then turns quite to the left, where passes into a smaller valley. Next follows a little steeper short ascent and left a little below us we notice a lake Jezero v Lužnici (1801 meters).
The marked path mentioned lake bypasses on the right side and is then ascending by the foot of the scree of the ridge Mali Peski. Higher, the path turns a little to the left and over grassy slopes of Srednji vrh (2032 meters) ascends on a small saddle named Prag (2068 meters).
On Prag, where there is a marked crossing, we continue left in the direction of Batognica (straight downwards lake Krnsko jezero right Vrh nad Peski and Koča na planini Razor) on the path which is moderately ascending on the upper slope of Batognica. Then we follow the path with beautiful views to the top, we reach the top in 15 minutes of additional walking.
