Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Bovec, and then we continue driving towards Čezsoča. In Čezsoča, at the inn Vančar we continue left in the direction of Jablenca and valley Dolina škratov and we follow a narrow asphalted road past the pool Slatenik to a little bigger crossroad, where we continue slightly right (straight Jablenca). The road which ahead loses an asphalt covering starts ascending steeper, at the crossroads we follow it in the direction of the summit Javoršček. This at first nice, and then worse forest road we follow to a sharp left turn by which we also park (we can also park earlier on one of the parking lots by the road).
Path description:
In the middle of the turn, at signposts for Javoršček we will notice old and quite overgrown cart track which from the road branches off to the right. We go on the mentioned cart track which after good 50 meters ends. Only few meters before it ends, we will notice on the left side at first a poorly visible footpath which after few 10 strides of ascent brings us to a smaller crossing.
We continue right on an easy to follow footpath which crosses relatively steep slopes. The path ahead slightly descends and it brings us to the riverbed of the stream Hunški potok (on maps Humski potok). Ahead we cross the mentioned stream and the path from the slopes of Javoršček brings us on very steep slopes of Humčič. After few meters of crossing path steeply ascends on an exposed ledge, and then passes on a secured part of the path. With the help of steel cables we cross narrow and exposed ledge, which ends at the entrance into a cavern. Still secured path passes into the mentioned cavern, where we continue in a gentle ascent. After few 10 meters we step from cavern on occasionally still pretty steep slopes of Humčič. After few minutes of crossing of relatively the steep slopes we come to a smaller shack, behind which the path starts ascending steeper. A little higher we come at the marked crossing, where we continue right on ascending path. Further, we are ascending on a small footpath which leads us past numerous caverns. The path higher flattens and turns a little towards the left. We continue the ascent on the path which ahead runs on and by the main ridge of Humčič. Higher, the path for a short time steeply ascends, and then in few minutes of additional walking brings us to the peak.
Because of the overgrowth and numerous unmarked crossings the orientation on the entire path is relatively difficult.
