Access to starting point:
From Kranjska Gora over the Rateče border crossing we drive towards Trbiž / Tarvisio. Soon after the border crossing, the road in the direction of the Belopeška lakes / Laghi di Fusine branches off to the left, which in a moderate ascent we then follow to a large parking lot at the Upper Mangartsko (Belopeško) lake.
Route description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the left side of the inn in the direction of the mountain hut Zacchi. The path at first runs on the forest road, which we leave after a few minutes, because the blazes direct us to the left on a wide cart track. The cart track on which we walk changes a little higher into an ascending footpath. The relatively wide and well-marked path then brings us in a moderate ascent through the forest in a good hour of walking from the starting point to the mountain hut Zacchi (to here also possible on the forest road).
At the mountain hut, we follow the signs »Ponza di Mezzo, Ponza Grande«. The path from the mountain hut then ascends for some time through dwarf pines below the steep slopes of the Poncas slightly to the right and soon brings us to the first steel cables on the path. Here the path turns a little to the left and then ascends several times quite steeply along the steel cable. When we get very close to the walls below Visoka Ponca, the path turns to the right and crosses a wide gully. A shorter ascent a little to the right of the gully follows, which brings us to a path junction. To the left branches off the direct very demanding climbing path (ferrata) to Visoka Ponca, while we head on the path to the right, which leads towards Srednja Ponca and to Visoka Ponca via a somewhat easier route. The path from the junction first crosses the slopes to the right in a gentle ascent, then turns to the left and ascends a steep grassy slope. The grassy slope is soon replaced by rocks and after a shorter ascent we are again at the path junction. To the left the path leads to Visoka Ponca, while we go to the right following the signs Tamar. From the junction then follows only a shorter ascent on a rocky slope to the summit of Srednja Ponca, where wonderful views open up on all sides.

I was today, although at Rifugio Zacchi it says the path is closed, but it goes without problems! Just poor markings, especially when you get out of the scree, it took me to the wall, but you have to go right!
Views are divine!

No sign anymore, was yesterday (at Ponza Grande .
The via ferrata was just renovated, you can still see the drilling dust!
But the path to Mala Ponca is officially closed, there is a sign both down by the road and at koča Zacchi.
