Korito / Coritis - Bivouac Marussich

Access to starting point:
Over the border crossing in Rateče we drive through Trbiž / Tarvisio. If we drive on the highway, we leave it at the exit for Tablja / Pontebba. We continue driving on the old road in the direction of Videm / Udine. In the settlement Na Bili / Resiutta we turn left towards the valley of Rezija (Val Resia). Further, we drive on a narrower asphalt road and follow the signs for the settlement Solbica / Stolvizza and then for the settlement Korito / Coritis. On a narrow and occasionally steep road, we drive towards the settlement Korito. About 500 meters before the village, a narrow road branches off to the left, where there are also signposts for path 657. We park near the crossroad.
Access is also possible on a narrow and winding road through the border crossing Učja.

Path description:
At the crossroad, we go left on a narrower road where signs point us to Ta Na Rawni and bivouac Marussich. At first, we slightly descend and cross stream Suhi Potok, which flows into the stream Rezija nearby. Some hundred meters further, we continue by the stream Rezija and also cross the stream Ronk. Here, the road turns to the right and starts ascending, and at the left turn, it brings us to a marked crossing.
Here, we leave the road and continue right on path 657, which runs near the mentioned stream. The path then turns to the left and starts ascending through the forest. Further, we ascend through the forest for quite some time, and only occasionally does a view open up slightly on the surrounding peaks. Higher up, we cross the mountain road and then follow a shorter ascent through the forest, which brings us to a smaller mountain pasture where a cottage is situated. The path leads us past the cottage and again brings us to the mountain road.
The path then leads for some time along the road and a footpath running near the road, which it also crosses several times. Higher up, we again join the mountain road, on which we continue for some time. Then, blazes point us to the right into the forest, and we finally leave the mountain road leading towards the mountain pasture Ta Na Rawni. Next follows an ascent through the forest on a less beaten path. Such a path soon brings us to a crossing where we join the path from the village Solbica / Stolvizza.
We continue right on path 634 in the direction of bivouac Marussich. From the crossing, we ascend diagonally through the forest for some time in the direction of east. A few more times, we ascend in zig-zags, and then the path emerges from the forest onto steeper, mostly grass-covered slopes. Further, for quite some time, we cross steep slopes towards the east and slightly descend. The slopes are quite steep, so some caution is occasionally needed at the crossing. From the path, we otherwise have a nice view of the Rezija valley and surrounding peaks. Such a path then brings us to a marked crossing at pasture Planina Grubje (Casera Grubia).
To the right, a transverse path 642/a branches off downwards towards Planina Kanin (Casera Canin), but we continue straight in the direction of bivouac Marussich. We start ascending again on a mostly grassy slope with a view of the precipitous walls of Vrh Krnice and Visoki Kanin. Further, we ascend on such a slope for quite some time, mostly in long zig-zags. On such a path we then ascend all the way to the saddle Sella Grubia / Peravo.
From the saddle where there is a marked crossing, we only descend a few meters to the bivouac.

On the way: Planina Grubje / Casera Grubia (1458m), Peravo / Sella Grubia (2050m)
