Bavšica - Briceljk

Access to starting point:
From the Bovec - Predel road at the fortress Kluže an asphalt road into the Bavšica valley branches off to the right. We head onto the mentioned road, which we follow in a moderate ascent to the parking lot in Bavšica (the parking lot is located next to the TNP sign).

Path description:
From the parking lot, we head left onto the poorer road in the direction of the shrine under Špičkom and mountain pasture Bala (right Bavški Grintavec) and follow it for less than 5 minutes to the spot where the blazes direct us left onto an initially wide footpath. The path soon narrows and brings us to a smaller junction, where the blazes direct us sharply right onto a gradually steeper path. The path soon flattens and brings us to the abandoned village Logje (just a few meters from the path there is drinking water).
From the village Logje we continue on the marked path, which continues across a gentle grassy slope. Further on, the path ascends somewhat more steeply and transitions to partly rocky terrain (scree overgrown with high grass). The path then flattens again and enters a dense forest, where it continues all the way to the abandoned mountain pasture Bala.
From the mountain pasture we continue further on the marked path, which then through a strip of forest brings us to the last spring by the path. Just some 10 m after the spring we notice the hunting hut Bala, but between the water trough and the hunting hut, on the left side we look for the clearly visible path that leads to Briceljk (at the beginning of the path we notice a faded inscription Briceljk on a tree). Although we will notice some faded blazes at the beginning (they are rare higher up too), the path ahead is not marked.
From the hunting hut the path enters a dense forest and, with the exception of the initial gentle section, ascends steeply. Higher up the path turns slightly left and exits the forest onto steep slopes overgrown with high grass, across which we ascend along an occasionally poorly visible path. A very steep path and especially dangerous for slipping when wet, higher up it crosses a short strip of forest a few more times and then slightly flattens and enters the valley Med vrhovi (valley west of Stador (2015 m)). Higher up the high grass is gradually replaced by rocks, and the path on a smaller indistinct saddle turns quite to the left and enters the scree, where the path disappears completely for a short time. Across the scree we continue toward the head of the valley, then a short step stops us, over which we climb on rugged rock. The step ends with a short exposed traverse, then the path enters steep grassy slopes, where it turns even more to the left. The path further leads us along an indistinct valley, up which we ascend in a few minutes to a steep gully that remains covered with snow late into summer. Usually by mid-summer a passage is already possible along the edge puddle, where we ascend on rugged rock to the top of the gully (due to the considerable steepness there is a high risk of falling rocks in the gully). At the top of the gully we continue right and then after a few minutes of further walking we step onto the highest peak of Loška stena.
