Access to starting point:
We drive into the center of Bovec, where from the crossroad at the main square we continue on an ascending road which, past the post office, starts to ascend towards the nearby church. We bypass the mentioned church on the left side, then we arrive at Kaninska vas. Bovec then ends, and the road leads us for some time towards the west. At a smaller junction we leave the main asphalt road which leads towards the village Plužna and continue driving on the slightly right road (behind the crossroad there are signs for the road Gozdec). Behind the nearby homestead, the road splits once again, this time we choose the slightly left road (slightly right Zavrzelno and the starting point of the path to Rombon). Further on we ascend on the macadam road which higher brings us to the B station of the cableway on Kanin, where we park on a larger macadam parking lot.
To the starting point at the B station we can also arrive by the circular-cabin cableway.
Path description:
From the parking lot a few steps further we continue on the road which leads higher, but we leave it still before the traffic sign which in certain times prohibits further driving, turning right onto a marked footpath. The path first crosses the cableway route, then passes into the forest, through which we ascend gently to moderately at first. The well-beaten path ends at the end point of one of the ziplines, and we continue on the less beaten marked path, which gradually passes onto steep and slippery-dangerous slopes, where we also cross a smaller wooden bridge which is already in doubtful condition. After the bridge follows some exposed crossing, then the slope becomes less steep, and the path after crossing the torrent becomes gradually steeper. A few minutes higher we join the path from Bovec, and we follow the still quite steep path to the mountain pasture Krnica, where a shepherd hut stands.
At the hut we step onto a worse road, which after the left serpentine we leave and continue on the marked path, which ascends above the mountain pasture and gradually passes into the forest. The forest soon ends, and the path continues through the pleasant mountain valley Krnica, where the path is at first still quite grassy, higher more and more rocky. With nice views to the left towards Veliki Stador (2165 m) and to the right towards the walls of Jelenka, Vratni vrh and a few neighboring peaks, the path gradually passes onto the slopes of the mighty Lopa. Higher we ascend somewhat to the right of the Krnica valley, when approaching Prevala the path turns right and ascends steeply (here the old path led straight to Prevala, but due to the construction of the ski slope it was rerouted somewhat more to the right). The steepness quickly eases and we reach the ski slope and saddle Prevala, where we go left.
From Prevala we ascend along the right edge of the Slovenian ski slope, where already after a few steps on the right side we notice the beginning of the marked path which leads towards Prestreljenik and the upper station of the cableway on Kanin (the beginning of the path is not marked). The path ahead first ascends along the steel cable quite steeply upwards, then the safety gear ends, and the path remains quite steep and slippery-dangerous for some time. Soon the path turns left, where it first ascends transversely along the old military trench, then levels out and crosses steep and slippery-dangerous slopes. Already after a few minutes the path passes onto less steep slopes, over which it ascends in moderate ascent towards Sedlo (saddle between Grdi vršič and Prestreljenik). After approximately half an hour of walking from Prevala we reach the mentioned saddle, and we join the ski slope already some 10 m before (if the initial ascent from Prevala seems too dangerous, we can reach the mentioned saddle also along the ski slope).
From Sedlo, where there is also the exit station of the 4-seater Prevala, we notice a large marking which directs us to the western side of Sedlo. Here the marked path turns right and begins to ascend steeply on the steep slope. Higher the path temporarily levels, then passes at the foot of Prestreljenik, where it first ascends over scree. The path ahead passes onto steep slopes, where it then ascends transversely towards the right. A short ascent over the grassy slope follows, and the path then passes into entirely rocky terrain, where we must help ourselves with hands at a few places. Higher the path brings us to the main ridge, where some damaged safety gear assists us. The path then slightly levels and brings us in some 10 steps of further walking to the panoramic summit.
