Access to starting point:
From Tolmin we drive towards Kobarid or vice versa, but only to a spot, where signs for Kamno point us to the right (from the direction Kobarid left) over a bridge. A relatively narrow and ascending road we then follow in the direction of village Vrsno and higher Krn. From the village Krn we continue in the direction of mountan hut on the mountain pasture Planina Kuhinja. We park on a parking lot, which is located only few minutes before the mentioned mountain hut (further driving is forbidden).
Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on the left bottom road in the direction of the mountain hut Koča na planini Kuhinja. The path at first leads on the road which crosses a lane of thin forest and then splits into two parts.
The right path bypasses the mountain hut Koča na planini Kuhinja and is a little shorter, and left which continues on the road leads past the already mentioned mountain hut.
A little above the mountain hut both paths join again, and we continue the ascent on a gently sloping path in the direction of Krn. Higher, the footpath moderately ascends and over a panoramic slope quickly brings us to the near forest road which we follow to the left (straight on a footpath Krn). For some time we walk on the road, and we follow it to the first sharp right turn, in the middle of which signs for the chapel on Planica point us to the left (straight) on a cart track which soon changes into an old mule track. After a short ascent, the path passes into a dense forest and for a short time descends. The path then turns to the right and crosses some gullies and steep slopes, but because the path is wide enough it isn't very dangerous. The slope then flattens and the path out of the forest brings us on a grazing area of saddle between Planica and Pleče. On a wide saddle a worse footpath branches off sharply to the right, which leads to the top of Planica, and we continue straight and after 3 minutes of additional walking, we get to the chapel on Planica.
From the chapel we return to the nearby saddle, and from there we continue on at first easy to follow footpath which starts ascending towards the north. Higher poorly visible footpath turns a little to the right and starts vanishing in grass and bushes, and we continue left on a panoramic grassy ridge, on which we ascend to a wire fence (upper edge of the pasture). Ahead we cross the fence and on the more and more steep and overgrown slope on pathless terrain we ascend on an indistinct and overgrown peak.
From the first peak we can continue on pathless terrain also on the nearby 15 minutes distant second peak of Planica.
In fog orientation in the upper part is quite difficult.
On the way: Koča na planini Kuhinja (991m), Italijanska vojaška kapela na Planici (1220m)
