Sentiero Bepi della Schiava

The forecast was excellent and I also had a day of vacation left. What better than to wander around the fairly uncrowded area between Tablja (Pontebba) and Mokrine (Passo di Pramollo). From the starting point (on Via Giuseppe Verdi there's a parking lot some 200 m before the path start), the calvary path takes me to the same-named ravine, where the quite worn asphalt ends. Continuing, a white road follows to Ciofnika, from where the path quickly climbs through beech and then pine forest and leads to a ledge carved into the rocky slope, along which on the west side of Breznjak (M. Brizzia) I reach Stolzejevi meadows. Here I turn east and soon reach the same-named saddle, where Sentiero Bepi della Schiava continues north. I head south, since I couldn't resist a jump to the top of Breznjak (per sign 45 min from saddle), offering views toward Viševa group, Poljski špiki, Naborjetske mountains, Grauzaria group and Sernia... From the top back to the saddle and onward with a renewed detour from 'Bepi', since I climbed Bruko - our distortion, has no original Slo. name (M. Bruco). The last 10 m below the summit need care, especially on descent, as it's frozen and weathered rock 'grinds' under feet. The path continues toward the pasture V Pečeh (C.ra For/Forno), where I even spotted traces of prior visitors accompanying me to the top of Korena (M. Corona), a fairly indistinct hill with rocks covered in yellow-green lichen. On the path continuation, hares showed the way like before that short section. The spacious top of Korena is adorned by a pyramid cairn. Here 'Bepi' turns left toward the west. There was already quite some snow and I waded more than anticipated. Given the low amount of precipitation this winter, I was surprised that it sank even to the knees. The nuisance in the form of crust that doesn't hold weight was hidden under a thin layer of powder. On the ascent to Krniška gora (M. Carnizza), which is bare on the south side, I was already mildly grumbling, since the situation on the ridge was more wintry. On the saddle between Javornik (M. Auernig) and Krniška gora I descended right to Mokrine and earned a coffee. At the guesthouse I asked about the possibility of return by public transport, since more than 12 km of road didn't appeal to me. The road on the Italian side is impassable for buses, mini buses or vans from Tablja don't run, and even a taxi apparently can't be arranged. Nothing was left but 'left, right'. Soon I heard a car behind me that stopped and apologized because it wasn't going to the valley. Confused by the kindness. zadrega
