Access to starting point:
First, we drive to the center of Kobarid, then continue driving towards the Robič border crossing. Near the village of Staro Selo, we leave the main road leading to the Robič border crossing and continue right towards Breginj. We follow the mainly ascending road to Breginj, where we park on the parking lot near the church.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue past the church (bypassing it on the right side) and continue the ascent on the asphalted road towards Stol and Muzca. The road first ascends through the village, and we follow it at intersections in the known direction. Higher up, the road loses its asphalt surface and takes us past an old mill to a marked intersection, where we continue slightly right (left Church of Mary of the Snows). The road, which continues to ascend moderately, soon brings us to a marked junction, where a marked hiking trail to Muzec (Musc) branches left.
We head onto the mentioned trail, which ascends moderately through the forest. Further on, the trail takes us to a small spring (source of drinking water), then turns slightly left and begins to ascend more steeply. Higher up, the trail levels out and brings us to a small junction, where we continue right (straight Plazi). The trail then begins to ascend steeply again through the forest, taking us to a sharp and crumbly ridge. An exposed path leads over this ridge, which we cross in a few minutes into the forest belt. When we exit the forest, the trail takes us to grassy slopes, where after a few minutes of further walking we reach a marked junction.
We continue left (slightly right Klatnica - drinking water spring) on an increasingly steep mountain path. Higher up, the path moves onto an exposed and very steep side ridge, which we ascend for quite some time. Higher up, we reach a small unmarked junction, where we continue on the left less steep path (right extremely steep path leads directly to Muzec). The left path then ascends transversely and takes us past a small chasm to the main ridge of Muzcev. Here we continue left (right Muzec) and after a few dozen steps of further walking, we reach the bivouac under Muzec.
From the bivouac, we continue west along the scenic ridge path, which gradually becomes steeper. We follow this increasingly scenic path, which is quite steep in the upper part, all the way to the summit of Gabrovec, which we reach after 15 minutes of further walking.
From the summit, we continue along the ridge westwards and first descend a bit. There follow some short ascents over a few indistinct summits. Later, we move to the right side of the ridge from a smaller grassy summit and then cross the slope under the summit through the forest. When we emerge from the forest, there follows a crossing of a short somewhat steeper slope, then we ascend more steeply along the ridge. After a few more short ascents along the ridge, the trail takes us to an indistinct grassy summit Nad Ohojami.
From the summit, we continue along the ridge where we descend a bit again. The path moves away from the steeper parts of the ridge to the northern forested side and then crosses the slopes westwards. Such a path takes us past the indistinct summit Nizki vrh to a marked junction. Left downwards leads the path through Plazi, we continue straight along the ridge following the signs “Br. Jalovec 1h”. The path continues along the ridge and occasionally through the forest on the northern side of the ridge. There follows a short ascent along the ridge, which takes us to the grassy summit Gnjilica.
From the summit, we continue west and after the descent, the path takes us back into the forest. After crossing through the forest, we reach a grassy ridge again, which is already on the Italian side of the border. From here, we have only a few steps to a marked junction.
At the junction, we continue straight along the ridge, right leads the path to the saddle Tanamea / Tam na meji, left downwards to the village Brezje.
We therefore continue straight along the scenic grassy ridge westwards. The ridge becomes somewhat narrower in the last part and there follows only a short somewhat steeper ascent to the summit of Breški Jalovec.
