Access to starting point:
We drive to Tolmin, and then we continue driving in the direction of Žabče and Zadlaz (turn-off from the main road is located on the left bank of Tolminka). When we get to Žabče, at the smaller crossroad we continue slightly right in the direction of the settlement Zadlaz. In the settlement Zadlaz-Žabče the road for some time descends, where we over a bridge crosses Zadlaščica, and then again starts ascending steeply on narrow, but all the time asphalt road. After approximately 12 km from the main road we get to the marked parking lot in Tolminske Ravne, where we park.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on the path in the direction of the mountain hut Koča na planini Razor and mountain pasture Planina na Kalu. At first, we walk on a cart track which continues from the nearby house and leads us through a panoramic meadow. On the other side of the meadow, we cross a grazing fence and the path brings us to a marked crossing, where we continue on the lower right cart track (slightly left mountain pasture Planina na Kalu).
Further, we walk on a cart track which is slightly descending towards the right, and then it flattens and few minutes continues without large changes in altitude. After concrete trough path once again splits, and we choose the bottom gentle path (slightly left steep path), which continues on a wide cart track. A little further, after the crossing of grazing fence, cart track changes into a mule track, and from there we soon go slightly left, on a marked footpath which cuts a longer turn of a mule track. After few minutes of the ascent, we return on a mule track, which we reach right at the smaller crossing. We choose the upper right path, which is diagonally ascending towards the right, and soon turns sharply to the left. Further, we are gently to moderately ascending on a mule track, which leads us diagonally towards the left, and gradually passes on pretty steep slopes, where passage isn't demanding, because the path is all the time pretty wide. When higher slope flattens, mule track turns a little to the right and brings us out of the forest on the southwest part of the mountain pasture Razor. From here follows a short moderate ascent and the path brings us to cheese cottage and about a minute ahead also to the mountain hut Koča na planini Razor.
From the mountain hut, we continue in the direction of Globoko, Vogel, Vrh nad Škrbino on the path which crosses a lane of a forest and then on a gentle grassy slope splits.
From the crossing, we continue right (straight Vrh nad Škrbino and Dom na Komni) and we start moderately ascending. The path quickly returns into the forest and it brings us to the next crossing.
From the crossing, we continue left in the direction of Globoko (slightly right Vogel) on the path which quickly brings us out of the forest. When we step out of the forest we are ascending on a mule track, which at first occasionally also leads through lanes of bushes or dwarf pines, and then gradually passes on steeper, mostly grassy slopes. The path ahead is moderately ascending in few hairpin turns, and then follows a little longer diagonal ascent towards the right. Here slope gradually becomes steeper, and the path which still continues on a mule track higher brings us to an old concrete bunker, and a little further also to a smaller emergency bivouac, in which are situated some benches. From the bivouac follows few minutes of panoramic ascent, and then we reach the main ridge of Spodnje Bohinjske gore on a saddle Globoko.
From Globoko we descend on Bohinj side, on the path which is well-settled with logs, so that the descent doesn't cause problems, and a little lower we also get help from a steel cable (undemanding). After few minutes of descent, we get to a marked crossing, where we continue right in the direction of Vogel (left saddle Konjsko sedlo and Komna, straight downwards we can descend into Žagarjev graben or to the mountain pasture Zadnji Vogel.
After the crossing, we diagonally descend over at first steep slope, then the path leads us diagonally towards the left. Behind the smaller saddle, in few steps we descend to the next crossing, where we continue right upwards on the path in the direction of Vogel (straight ski slope Vogel, Šija...). Next follows a little steeper short ascent, after that from the left joins another path from the ski slope Vogel. Here as well, we continue right, and then in few steps we again step on the ridge of Spodnje Bohinjske gore, where we once again continue right on an unmarked path towards Vrh Krnic (left Vogel 10 minutes).
From the crossing follows a short ascent on technically undemanding ridge and the path brings us on a panoramic peak Vrh Krnic.
