Access to starting point:
First, we drive to the center of Bovec, where we go on the road upwards, which goes past the church ahead towards Kaninska vas. We follow the road ahead which soon brings us to a crossroad, where we continue left downwards towards the village Plužna (straight road on Kanin). The road then brings us in the village Plužna, where in the middle of the village we turn sharply right upwards. The road then brings us to the last house in the village behind which the road starts descending and after 100 meters of descent brings us to the signposts, where near of those we park on a small parking lot.
Path description:
From the starting point, we continue straight downwards (left downwards waterfall Virje) on the road which soon flattens, crosses a bridge and behind it brings us to a smaller crossing. We continue right (left artificial lake 1 minute) on a gently sloping path, which after few minutes of additional walking brings us to the source of Glijun.
At the mentioned source we notice signs for karst cave Srnica, which point us slightly left on a footpath which starts moderately ascending through a dense forest. Higher, the path flattens a little, crosses a lane of bushes and then turns a little towards the left. Next follows crossing of short panoramic scree, and then the path brings us to a torrent of cave Srnica. At the beginning of the mentioned torrent path turns to the right and steeply ascends to the entrance into a cave Srnica. The last meters below entrance into a cave are secured with a rope.
