Rifugio Gilberti - Sart / Žrd

Access to starting point:
From Kranjska Gora over the border crossing Rateče we drive to Trbiž / Tarvisio. In Trbiž we continue left in the direction of Bovec and we follow the road to the crossroad near the lake Rabeljsko jezero. Here we continue right in the direction of Medvejski preval / Sella Nevea. This road which is mostly ascending we follow to a large parking lot at the bottom station of the cableway, which runs to the hut Gilberti.
Then we buy a ticket and go with a cableway to the upper cableway station. From the upper cableway station to the hut Gilberti we have 5 minutes of walking on a transport road.
From Bovec, we drive to the border crossing Predel, from which we descend to italian side. Only a little after the lake Rabeljsko jezero we come to the crossroad, where we continue left in the direction of Nevejski preval / Sella Nevea. Further, we follow the description above.

Path description:
From the mountain hut, we slightly descend (direction west) into a smaller valley, where there is a crossing. We continue right in the direction of S.Grubia on the path which runs between the main Kanin ridge on the left and Bela peč on the right. The path ahead is at first ascending gently through the valley, and then it starts ascending steeper and after few minutes of ascent brings us to an old military fort on a saddle Bela peč. Behind the fort we continue slightly left in the direction of "bivacco" (right Bela peč 30 minutes very demanding path) on an old military mule track, which is already well destroyed. The path which is slightly descending and then again ascending runs on in parts steep slopes, which are in some parts slightly precipitous and exposed to falling stones (because the path is wide in dry doesn't cause problems). The path then brings us to a crossing, where the path on Visoki Kanin branches off to the left upwards. We continue on a mule track, which then crosses some gullies, which are late in the summer covered with snow. Nice and panoramic high mountain path after 2 hours of walking from the mountain hut Gilberti brings us to bivouac Marrusich.
Only few steps from the bivouac we come on a saddle Peravo, where there is a crossing. We continue straight in the direction of M.Sart on the path which starts ascending towards the west. And soon the path flattens and turns on the right northern side of Vrh Grubij. Considerably gentle path then brings us on nice high mountain meadow (Škrbina v Senožečah), where we leave mule track. We continue the ascent right and on a poorly visible path we ascend to the ridge, where we continue the ascent. The path ahead is steeply ascending on in parts slightly exposed ridge. After half an hour ascent, when we already think, that we are on the summit we step on a secondary peak of Žrd (in fog many people think, that this is the peak), from which a nice view opens up on our destination. A gentle descent follows on barely visible path which still runs on a partly exposed ridge. Ridge then from the left side slowly widens and the path after additional few minutes of ascent brings us on a panoramic peak.
The starting point - bivouac Marrusich 2:00, bivouac Marrusich - Žrd 1:15.
