Access to starting point:
A) Over the border crossing Rateče we drive to Italy, after that in Trbiž / Tarvisio we turn left in the direction of Predel / Cave del Predil. After few 100 meters we go once again left in the same direction, and then at the crossroad by lake Rabeljsko jezero / Lago del Predil we continue straight on the main road in the direction of Slovenia (right Nevejski preval (Na Žlebeh) / Sella Nevea). Next follows few hairpin turns and driving through the tunnel, and then we get to the border crossing Predel, after which we again drive into Slovenia. Further, we start descending, and then before the bridge with largest arch in Julian Alps (bridge over the stream Mangartski potok (on the road sign marked bridge Predel 129 meters)) we turn left in the direction of Mangart. Immediately after the crossroad side branch of the road branches off, where there is a marked parking lot.
B) From Primorska we drive to Log pod Mangartom, and from there we continue driving towards Italy. Before we get to the border crossing Predel, after the bridge Predel (bridge over the stream Mangartski potok) we turn right in the direction of Mangart. We park immediately after the bridge on a marked parking lot by side branch of the road.
Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on the asphalt road which leads towards the saddle Mangartsko sedlo, and we are ascending there to first right turn, or to the spot, where it crosses the stream Mangartski potok. At the mentioned turn, before we cross the bridge, we continue straight on a footpath in the direction of the mountain pasture Mangartska planina. We continue with a nice view towards Mangart, on the path which is ascending parallel with the stream and a little higher we cross also landslide Stože, which happened in November 2000. When we leave the area of landslide we gradually pass into the forest, through which we moderately ascend to the western edge of the mountain pasture Mangartska planina.
When we step on the mountain pasture we walk to the near shepherd hut, behind which we continue on a little overgrown path which leads over mountain pasture. After the crossing of the mountain pasture we get into a lane of a forest and then we quickly reach narrower lane of a meadow, on which continues old abandoned road (to here possible also, if we continue through mountain pasture on the road and then at the first crossing left in the direction of Mangartsko sedlo). The worse road or cart track is ascending gently, after that when we cross a torrent it finally changes into a mountain path. Next follows few minutes of a moderate ascent, and then we cross an asphalt road. On the other side of the road, we ascend on gentle stairs, and then we reach clearing, where the path turns left and starts relatively steeply ascending. After few minutes of the ascent, we again reach the road, and there we continue to the nearby turn, where from the road, the path branches off on which we continue.
Here the marked path continues on the road, and we continue on an unmarked footpath which passes into the forest. Further, we are steeply ascending on the path which at first still runs through the forest, after that increasingly beautiful views opening up, which reach towards Rombon, Jerebica... Higher, we return on the road, on which with the exception of some shortcuts we continue to part, where starts longer crossing towards the right. After we cross quite mighty gully of torrent Nakel, we will soon on the left side of the road notice shorter stairs, on which we ascend to the nearby grassy slope, where we continues relatively easy to follow, but still unmarked path. The path soon turns left and it ascends diagonally to the edge of gully, where there stands a metal pole with pink and yellow band. Here the path again turns towards the right, and is then ascending diagonally over a little steeper grassy slopes. The path, from which increasingly beautiful views opening up and which runs on an old mule track higher brings us to ruins, which are located a little above next gully. On old mule track we continue on a steeper slope, which leads us towards the gully. Only a little before we reach gully, unmarked path splits into two parts, and we continue left (straight mountain hut Mangartska koča na Mangartskem sedlu) on the path which passes on a grassy slope and soon turns right. Next follows a diagonal ascent on a little overgrown footpath which is ascending on slopes of Mala špica, peak which is rising west from the saddle Mangartsko sedlo. Higher, we reach the border ridge, where in some sort of notch Čez jezik joins the marked path from lakes Belopeška jezera (path over Plazje).
Here we continue right and on a wider footpath we descend to a saddle Mangartsko sedlo, where we get very close to Mangart road. We continue on the border ridge, from which a nice view opens up, which reaches all the way to the highest peak of High Tauern in Austria - Grossglockner / Veliki Klek, and the path gradually brings us on slopes of 2200 meters high Travnik (Strmi nos), where the path turns slightly towards the right. After the crossing of Travnik we get to a little more rocky terrain below Rateški Mali Mangart, and behind it we soon get to a marked crossing, where seperate Italian and Slovenian path.
We continue left on technically easier Italian path, which already after a shorter ascent passes on the Italian side of massif Mangart. Further, we are at first only moderately ascending, and already after few minutes, the path becomes pretty steep and brings us on smooth rocky plates, where we get some help from fixed safety gear, mainly steel cables. After that part path turns a little towards the left and passes on steep scree, where in the early summer, there are still snow fields (ice axe, crampons). Over the scree we are ascending diagonally, and the path is further turning more and more towards the right. The path which is larger part also exposed to falling stones, higher passes on the eastern side of the mountain, where there is a marked crossing.
We continue right in the direction of Mangart (left Jalovec, Vevnica, Tamar) on the path which is still turning towards the right. Higher, we cross one more gully, and then we start quite steeply ascending on a steep slope, which is due to a lot of people additionally exposed to falling stones. When the path after few minutes flattens, to the top separates us only few 10 strides, with great views on the nearby and far surrounding.
