Avsa - Visoka glava (on Matajur) (old path)

Access to starting point:
A) We drive to Tolmin, then continue driving towards Kobarid. When we reach 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 another good 300 meters ahead, then we park at the marked parking lot.
B) From Kobarid we drive towards Tolmin, but only to 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 another good 300 meters ahead, then we park at the marked parking lot.

Path 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. This is followed by an ascent over two shorter hay meadows, then we return to the 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 along the cart track. The cart track soon ends, and we continue along the footpath, which proceeds over a partly grassy slope surrounded by belts of forest. A little further on, 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 along 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 reach a marked junction located in a small valley between Mrzli vrh and Srednji vrh.
At the junction, a marked but unmarked path branches off to the right to Mrzli vrh, Srednji vrh and Idrsko planina, while we continue along the road, which splits on the western side of Mrzli vrh.
We continue along the left road (right to Idrska planina), to which the "new" path from Avsa or Livek joins a little further on.
From the less noticeable junction, we walk along the road for a few more minutes, then leave it at the next marked junction and continue right towards Matajur (straight to Dom na Matajure).
Further on, the path begins to ascend again over a partly grassy slope, from which increasingly beautiful views open up onto the surrounding mountains. Higher up, as the path gradually passes onto the northern slopes, the path from the village of Svino also joins from the right, and we continue towards Matajur. This is followed by a few minutes of traversing ascent, and we soon reach the junction below Glava, where we leave the usual path to Matajur and continue straight towards Visoka glava (left the usual path to Matajur).
This is followed by fairly level walking along the path, which runs north of the eastern Matajur ridge and is, except in dry periods, quite muddy. As we approach the northern ridge of Matajur, we almost imperceptibly cross the state border, then with a traversing ascent to the right reach the mentioned ridge, where we join a better-trodden path, which we immediately leave, as we continue right onto pathless terrain, along which we ascend to the indistinct summit of Visoka glava in about 5 minutes.
