Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Tolmin, from there we follow the road in the direction of Zatolmin (main road we leave at the traffic light). In Zatolmin we notice signposts for Javorca, which point us on an ascending road towards Javorca. Occasionally quite narrow and in parts precipitous road after approximately 8 km of driving brings us to a smaller crossroad, where the road towards Javorca branches off to the left upwards. We continue straight, and we follow the road only for approximately 100 meters and then on an appropriate place by the gate we also park.
Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on a macadam road (road is closed for public traffic), and after few minutes of easy walking it brings us to the main part of the mountain pasture, where there are few cottages. Behind the mountain pasture, the road becomes even a little worse, and after few minutes of additional walking brings us to a crossing, where the path towards the mountain pasture Planina na Prodih branches off to the right (access to the mountain pasture is very interesting, because we have to cross river Tolminka, and this is done by a manual cableway). We continue straight, and the road finally changes into a cart track and higher into a well-preserved mule track. After that, the path becomes a little steeper and past two benches and higher past a fresh rockfall (earthquake in Posočje 1998) brings us to a grazing fence, over which we step on the south edge of the mountain pasture Planina pod Osojnico. Only few meters ahead, the path splits into two parts. We continue on the right bottom path, on which in a gentle descent, we quickly get to the hunting cottage at the source of Tolminka.
From the source of Tolminka we continue a gentle ascent through the mountain pasture Planina pod Osojnico, and from the left soon joins the upper path, which is exposed to active rockfall.
We continue in the direction of "Planina Prode and Prehodci" on the path which brings us to a mighty torrent. We cross a torrent and on the other side, we continue left in the direction of Prehodci (slightly right mountain pasture Dobrenjščica). Further, we are gently ascending on a well preserved military mule track, which we can leave few times, because marked path runs on "shortcuts". Higher bushes and grass is slowly replaced by gravel, and the path is turning more and more to the left. A little higher, we again come to a mighty torrent gully, which is here already joining with nearby scree, which are falling from the nearby Mali and Veliki Kuntar.
Here to the left through mighty torrent unmarked path branches off, which leads towards the mountain pasture Planina Lašča and ahead on Rdeči rob and Mali peski, and we continue right on a marked path, which gradually passes into a dense forest. Mule track is then ascending in numerous zig-zags and for some time still runs through the forest. Higher the forest gets thinner and the path is turning more and more towards the right, where it brings us to panoramic and steep slopes. Through wide carved ledge there's a steel cable for help, which comes in handy in time, when on the ledge is still snow (in dry is the passage entirely undemanding). The path ahead once again moderately ascends and in few minutes brings us to a marked crossing on Prehodci.
At the crossing, we continue right following the signs »Dom on Komni« and »Koča na planini Razor«. Further, the path turns slightly to the right and mostly runs by dwarf pines. Not that steep path, from which beautiful views are opening up towards Bogatin and Mahavšček then brings us to a well-marked crossing. Here we continue left following the signs Dom na Komni, and right leads the path towards the mountain hut Koča na planini Razor. The path then slightly descends and brings us into a small valley Za Lepočami, where we will notice quite a lot of buildings, which Italian built between the both wars for the purpose of protecting Rapallo border.
Za Lepočami, where there is also a crossing we continue right following the signs Komna (left lake Krnsko jezero). From the crossing, the path at first ascends a little steeper, and then becomes less steep and leads us by more and more rare dwarf pines. Soon a view towards Lanževica opens up and then follows an ascent on a wide military mule track to a saddle Bogatinsko sedlo (Vratca).
On the saddle, we continue right (straight downwards Komna, left Lanževica) on the path which in few minutes brings us on at first an indistinct ridge of Bogatin. The path ahead starts ascending steeply on very steep and crumbly northwest ridge of Bogatin (dangerous for slipping and falling stones). Higher the ridge narrows a little more, and the path flattens and in few 10 strides it brings us to the summit of (Mali) Bogatin.
From Bogatin we continue on the ridge path which starts descending steeply towards the saddle between Bogatin and Mahavšček (because of substantial steepness dangerous for slipping). From the saddle (to here we can also come on a marked path, which on the southwest side bypasses the peak Bogatin, the latter is quite easier) we still continue on the ridge path, which again starts ascending. Higher, the path avoids the ridge on Bohinj side, where it is ascending diagonally over smaller scree. Further path returns on the main ridge and after few minutes of additional walking brings us to the summit of Mahavšček.
On the way: The Tolminka spring (695m), Prehodci (1639m), Bogatinsko sedlo (1803m), Bogatin (1977m)
