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 left in the direction of saddle Škrbina (right Vrh nad Škrbino - south path). The path soon after that comes from dwarf pines on an interesting slopes, where we will on our right side notice a steep rocky plates, which form for climbers interesting wall, which isn't too steep. The path ahead ascends diagonally over the scree to a saddle Škrbina, which is situated at an altitude 1910 meters.
From the saddle on which there is also a crossing we continue right on the south side of the ridge in the direction of Vrh nad Škrbino (left Tolminski Kuk). The path then on a steep, slightly crumbly slope brings us on steep northern slopes. Here we get to the first steel cables by which we are steeply ascending. The path then turns to the right, where with the help of few stemples we again ascend on the south side of the ridge. On the south side, the path few more times steeply ascends by the steel cable, and then the path becomes gradually less demanding. Next follows approximately ten minutes of walking on a panoramic ridge towards the summit. Few meters below the summit from the right joins also a little easier direct path from the mountain pasture Razor.
