Access to starting point:
From Bovec, we drive towards the border crossing Predel. After few kilometers by the road we notice fortress Kluže and next to it a parking lot, where we park.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on a wide path, which is situated on the opposite side of the road from fortress Kluže. The path which is barely ascending after few minutes of walking, it brings us to military tunnel. The tunnel is quite long so it is recommended to use a lamp. After the tunnel, the path brings us to a crossing, where we continue left in the direction of Na Robu, 1313. The path then for a short time steeply ascends, and then continues in a gentle diagonal ascent with some views towards the fortress Kluže. After approximately 30 minutes of walking, the path brings us to the next military fortresses (fortress Fort Hermann).
Further, we continue right in the direction of Rombon on the path which is ascending through the forest relatively steeply upwards. At the crossings, we continue on a marked path or we stick to marks Na Robu, and higher only marks 1313. After a good two hours of walking, the path brings us to a nice vantage point, where a view opens up towards the nearby Jerebica and other mountains above the valley Koritnica. The path then goes again in the forest and it brings us to a crossing of two paths. Left survey point 1313, and straight Rombon. We go on the path towards Rombon and we follow the blazes. The steepness of the path then decreases and the path brings us out of the forest, where a nice view opens up on basin Bovška kotlina and mountains above it. And until now nice path ahead becomes barely visible. The path ahead runs on grassy slopes on a barely visible footpath (for easier orientation we get help from blazes). Next follows crossing of short lane of a forest, then the path starts ascending on a slope covered with dwarf pines. Here the path brings us to an old military mule track, which we follow ahead. The increasingly panoramic path then brings us to the next military fortresses. On this part, the path runs between walls of ruins. The path on this part is very well marked so that in labyrinth of walls we can't go astray. The path ahead is for some time still ascending on a mule track, and then turns left on grassy slopes. Ahead we in a moderate ascent cross in parts a little steeper grassy slopes (in wet dangerous for slipping). The path ahead brings us in smaller indistinct valley through which we ascend to an indistinct saddle, where we join the path from Bovec (Za Vrzelno).
We continue right on the path which very steeply ascends over a short jump. With the help of natural holds we ascend a level higher (5 meters). On this part, a great caution is needed, especially at the descent.
The path then flattens and continues on the upper moderately steep slope of the mountain. Then we follow a panoramic path to the top of Rombon.
