Monte Brancot

bagi10. 04. 2018 11:46:43

Nice days lured us to the hills on the slopes of the Po Plain this time. The drive from central Slovenia is quite long, so we decided to make the most of the day. Besides Little Carman, we treated ourselves to an ascent to the lesser-known Monte Brancot.

Starting point is in the village of Braulins, not far from Humin (Gemona). The ascent starts at the village fountain, right below the wall with the 13th-century church. The entire path is steep and well-marked. The time estimates on the signs are surprisingly tight. The path is suitable for early spring or late autumn days. In summer it's too hot.

Monte Brancot is a viewpoint and the first in the scenic and marked ridge that runs all the way to the Interneppo saddle. The signs say the whole path takes 4 hours and it's quite believable. We unfortunately ran out of time this time. See you next time nasmeh

. There was a running event over it this weekend.

Coordinates of starting point (Braulins): 46°17''15.4"N 13°05''35.7"E

Monte Brancot Path 837 leads to our peak

Monte Brancot Markings are frequent, the path is gentle at the beginning, then soon becomes a bit steeper.

Monte Brancot Nice markings made of welded iron. Above is the sign for cervico.

Monte Brancot Cekvica from the 13th century. There is a short branch off the path to M. Brancot to it.

Monte Brancot This is how they tackled the signs and barriers for runners :)

Monte Brancot Someone had an idea and brightened the day for all who encounter this marking for the first time.

Monte Brancot The path in the upper third becomes more and more scenic.

Starting point Braulins -> Monte Boscatz - Monte Brancot - Monte Palantarins - Tre Corni - Monte Naruvint -> Braulins

Forecast promised morning with double-digit minus, Carnic prealps invited to wonderful ambience and more bearable temperatures, so I took the path under feet.
The kuclji above Bordan are low, crossing possible with brains on 'off', if you don't imagine some detour. mežikanje

It didn't let me rest and after ascent from Braulins at the saddle I turned left and went pathless up to Boscatz. Continuation over all peaks in the ridge and behind the last, M. Naruvint (descent), sign that the path is dangerous ('sentiero pericoloso'; path not marked as 'inagibile'); caution with frozen ground not amiss. Just before the road Bordano-Interneppo, on which I could have 'trudged' kilometers on asphalt, I turned onto an old and quite interesting path (twice hard to push through fallen trees, but sections short).
On return last look into the kingdom of white-headed eagles and already speeding home.

If anyone interested - belongs to the penultimate pic: https://www.falesia.it/images/falesia/italia/friuli/gemona.pdf

A few minutes above the starting point are the remains of Bragolino castle

View of the valley and the winding Tilment

At the saddle La Forchia left off-path to M. Boscatz

White-headed hawks - significance of this area

M. Deneal, Veliki Karman, Mali Karman and Pyrenean ptarmigan ;)

Ridge of M. Piombade with M. Palantarins (from middle to right front)

Amariana and San Simeone from the same summit

I can't list them all, but there in the middle or more to the right in the back are the Poliski špiki

Towards Tre Corni_highest in the background Coglians and Creta della Chianevate

Part of the traversed ridge-M. Boscatz and M. Brancot with Tre Corni

The entire descent is not as easy as the picture suggests

If you turn right here, you can follow the path ...

... which is difficult to pass at two spots due to fallen trees

Already in the valley - here too right past the rooftops ...

... and once more right before the footbridge ...

... across the road and grass, then right on the path in the background to the start

Another view of Falesia del Monte Glemine

Braulins - Monte Brancot - Monte Palantarins - Tre Corni - Monte Naruvint - Braulins

We did a similar tour as described by little climber, just didn't go to her first peak. Otherwise the same nasmeh

. It's about peaks in a nice ridge south of San Simeone mountain, nestled between Braulins which was our starting point and Interneppo by the beautiful Cavazzo lake. All these hills are surrounded by the Tilment river, which we could admire on most of the path.

We've had this little ridge in mind for a year or so, when on the way back from Little Carman we drove close to admire the beautiful red church of St. Michael, leaning against the rocky wall, of course with views of the gravel beds and waters of the Tilment river winding below these slopes. Enough to make your feet itch nasmeh

.
Some data from this path: we drove 149 km from our place, were on the path about good 7 hours (with breaks, photos, all together) and walked about 10 km or made about 1100m elevation gain nasmeh

. Enthused!
