Access to starting point:
Between Most na Soči and Tolmin, the road branches off in Poljubinj. From Poljubinj we drive ahead towards the village Ljubinj, where behind the church we turn left towards the mountain pasture Razor and Stador. The road brings us to the parking lot on the mountain pasture Stador, where nearby there is a mountain hut. We drive further on the mountain pasture Lom and further on the road following the signs mountain pasture Planina Razor. At the altitude 1150 meters we come on the mountain pasture Planina Kuk, where there is a parking lot on which we park. Further driving is forbidden.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on for traffic closed road which after few ten strides brings us on the mountain pasture Planina Kuk, where in the summer time we can buy homemade milk product (sour milk, cheese, curd).
The road ahead starts gently ascending and eventually brings us to the next gate. After the gate, the path goes into the forest and is barely ascending, and occasionally the path even slightly descends. After one hour of walking, the path brings us on the mountain pasture Razor, where there is the mountain hut.
From the mountain hut, we go on the path in the direction of Škrbina and Vogel. After few minutes of gentle walk path brings us to the next crossing, where we continue straight in the direction of Škrbina (right Vogel).
The path ahead turns slightly towards the left and it is moderately ascending over slopes covered with dwarf pines. And when the path brings us to the next crossing at an altitude of approximately 1500 meters, we continue right following the signs Vrh nad Škrbino. And left path runs on a saddle Škrbina. The path is then slightly ascending through dwarf pines and turns slightly to the left. When we come out of the dwarf pines we are still slightly ascending and we cross grassy slopes below the ridge. After that, the path crosses some scree, and soon after this turns to the right and starts quite steeply ascending on grassy slopes. The path over steep grassy slopes brings us on the ridge, where we join the climbing path from the saddle Škrbina. On the ridge, we then go right and in few meters we reach the peak.
