Access to starting point:
A) We drive to Tolmin, and then continue driving towards Kobarid. When we arrive at the settlement of Idrsko, we turn left towards the settlement of Livek; from Livek, we follow the signs for Avsa and Matajur. From Avsa, we continue a good 300 meters further, then park at the marked parking lot.
B) From Kobarid, we drive towards Tolmin, but only as far as the settlement of Idrsko, where we turn right towards the settlement of Livek; from Livek, we follow the signs for Avsa and Matajur. From Avsa, we continue a good 300 meters further, then park at the marked parking lot.
Route description:
From the parking lot, we head onto the marked path towards Matajur, where we first walk through the forest and transitionally step onto a cart track. There follows an ascent across two shorter hayfields, then we return to dense forest through which we ascend moderately to steeply, and here and there the path also descends slightly. Higher up, we cross a metal fence, behind which the path turns right and continues on a cart track. The cart track soon ends, and we continue on a trail that proceeds across a partly grassy slope surrounded by strips of forest. A little further ahead, the path turns left and flattens out completely on the slopes of Srednji vrh.
Here we can ascend to Srednji vrh on pathless terrain in a few minutes; otherwise, we continue on the marked path, which crosses the slopes of the mentioned peak and joins a forest road a little further on. We follow the road to the right, along which we soon arrive at a marked junction located in a small valley between Mrzli vrh and Srednji vrh.
At the junction, we leave the road leading further towards Matajur and continue right towards Idrska planina and Mrzli vrh. We quickly reach the ridge at the saddle between both aforementioned peaks, and from the saddle we continue straight down towards Idrska planina (left Mrzli vrh, right Srednji vrh), where in fine weather we already see the mountain pasture. When after a few minutes we stop descending, we first reach a cart track, which we follow to the left, and at the nearby crossroads we go right to the mountain pasture.
