Rifugio Pelizzo - Monte Mataiur/Matajur

Access to starting point:
From the Tolmin - Kobarid road, in the settlement of Idrsko turn left (from the direction of Kobarid right), where a steep road branches off towards the village Livek. We head onto the mentioned road, which after approximately 5 km of ascent brings us to the mentioned village. We continue driving on an ever narrower road which leads into Italy. On the other side of the border, the road starts descending, and we follow it through the villages Polava / Polava and Čepletišče / Cepletischis to a somewhat larger crossroads, where we continue right in the direction of the village Matajur / Montemaggiore and mountain hut Rifugio Pelizzo. We follow the road, which ahead rises relatively steeply, at the next crossroads in the direction of the mentioned mountain hut. We park on the arranged parking lot right below the mountain hut Rifugio Pelizzo.

Path description:
From the parking lot we first ascend the stairs to the mountain hut, then continue in the direction of "Monte Matajur" and "Dom na Matajure". The path ahead moderately ascends on a panoramic grassy slope, from which beautiful views open up on Slavia Friulana and Julian Alps. Higher, the path leads through a belt of raspberry bushes, then brings us to the marked junction, where we continue straight (left Dom na Matajure, right Livek).
A little further, the path turns slightly to the right, where it entirely flattens for a short time, then turns in the direction of the summit and gradually starts ascending more steeply. The increasingly panoramic path brings us in a few minutes of additional walking to the 1642 m high Matajur.
