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 and which soon brings us to a crossroad, where we continue straight. Left road descends in the village plužna. The road then quickly brings us to the next crossroad, where we continue right in the direction of Rombon. Further, we drive to the spot, where the road crosses a torrent (near the parking lot and beginning of the path are signposts and a well).
Path description:
We start at a well, where blazes point us on a footpath (not on a cart track), which is at first ascending through a thin forest. After 15 minutes of walking, the path passes into a dense forest, where it is then still moderately ascending. The path which crosses some old military mule tracks, after a little more than hour and a half of walking, it brings us out of the forest on grassy slopes, on which in few minutes we ascend on the mountain pasture Goričica, where there stands a hunting cottage.
Here a view opens up towards the mountains, which are located south from basin Bovška kotlina, and we continue right on the path which in few additional minutes brings us to a crossing. We continue on the right (bottom) path in the direction of Rombon (left Črnelska špica), which after some light strides it brings us to the spot, where used to be military hospital - ruins (to ruins we have few 10 meters, and memorial plaque is only few meters from the marked path).
The marked path here turns left and crosses last lane of a forest. When we then step out of the forest, we will on the right side notice numerous military tunnels (and on the opposite side we notice a cross). The path ahead is ascending on already very worn out mule track and leads us past numerous remains of war. The path then flattens and the path brings us to the spot, where a view opens up on Rombon.
We continue right (straight Rombon) on the path which in 3 minutes brings us to the peak of Čukla.
The starting point - Planina Goričica 1:45, Planina Goričica - Čukla 45 minutes.
