Access to starting point:
From Zatolmin we go on the road towards Javorca and we drive only a little less than 2 km to the signpost Triglav National Park, there is an option for parking 2-3 vehicles.
Path description:
We start at the entrance into Triglav national park and we go by the church uphill, past the house Zatolmin 73 A. We soon reach the road. We continue on the road, I recommend that we go also on the next shortcut (if there is lush vegetation, we need to pay attention, that we find it), which from the road branches off to the left (if we continue on the road, the path will be a little longer). The path again brings us on the road, where we soon get to the chapel and cemetery from I. world war. To here approximately one hour. Behind the chapel, we look for unmarked footpath which leads uphill. This quite well followable, steep footpath we follow through the forest, until we reach a meadow below the summit Vodel. The path doesn't lead right to the summit, few meters below the summit, on a grassy part there is an inscription book and breathtaking view on the valley Soča. From the chapel a little less than an hour.
We continue on "deer path", as the locals say, partly on pastures, partly through the forest, through numerous barriers for livestock (we always close them behind us), at first on the right side of the hill, and on the mountain pasture we pass over on Soča side; path through the forest brings us below Grmuč, where we notice the first blazes. We get to a worse road which we follow to the right; road brings us to the mountain pasture Prtovč, from where we ascend on Mrzli vrh. We descend to the mountain pasture Prtovč on the same path, for a descent I recommend the path on a shady road, with great views on Bohinj mountains, Javorca and mountain pasture Polog, to a crossroad with chapel, where we again descend on unmarked, already known path to the car. For the descent we will need maybe two hours and a half.
