Access to starting point:
From Kranjska Gora over the border crossing Rateče we drive to Trbiž / Tarvisio. Further, we drive on the old road towards Videm / Udine. Already after few kilometers from Trbiž / Tarvisio, the road into Ovčja vas / Valbruna branches off to the left. In Ovča vas / Valbruna we turn left and follow the road ahead through the valley Zajzera upwards. After few kilometers of driving, we come to a crossroad at the bridge above the road. Here we turn left in the direction of Svete Višarje / Monte Lussari and we follow the road few ten meters to a large parking lot, where we park.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the road ahead, which in few steps it brings us to a crossroad, where we continue left in the direction of Svete Višarje (Monte Lussari). The road then slightly descends and it brings us to the bridge over a river, where a nice view opens up on the northern walls of western Julian Alps.
On the other side road runs past a trough with a drinking water and then starts ascending. The road which is closed for traffic is then mostly ascending through the forest and only rarely some nice view opens up. After an hour and a half of walking forest becomes a little thinner so that beautiful views opening up. The road in parts crosses some scenic area and one old military tunnel. Later road brings us to the crossing at the chapel.
We continue on the left road which after good 15 minutes brings us to a hamlet on Svete Višarje.
