Planina Zajzera - Bivacco Stuparich

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. Here we turn left and we follow the road all the way to the mountain pasture Zajzera, where we park on a large parking lot.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on the road which is closed for traffic following the signs Bivacco Mazzeni, Bivacco Stuparich. The road at first slightly descends and then leads through the forest. We soon come out of the forest to a wide riverbed of the stream, where a lot of sand is deposited. Here the path is a little poorly visible and terrain with sand we cross slightly to the right. The path then brings us to a crossing, where we go right following the signs Bivacco Stuparich. With the help of some cairns we again cross a torrent to the right and then the path brings us into the forest. The path through the forest soon starts quite steeply ascending, then turns to the left and soon nice views open up to mountain walls of Montaž. The path further leads by the riverbed of the stream past some bushes and dwarf pines and it brings us to a crossing. We continue to the left following the signs Stuparich, and right leads the path towards the mountain hut Grego.

The path here turns to the left and starts ascending in zig-zags through a thin forest on the left side of the valley. Such a path again brings us to a crossing. We go left towards the bivouac Stuparich, and right leads the path towards the valley Dunjska dolina. Further, the path starts crossing slope towards the east and then soon brings us to bivouac Stuparich.
