Access to starting point:
From Kranjska Gora via Vršič Pass or past Rateče to Italy and via Predel Pass we drive to Bovec, or a little further along the main road to the lower station of the Kanin cable car. From the Primorska side, we first drive to the valley of the Soča River and then through Tolmin and Kobarid arrive in Bovec. The price of a return cable car ticket is 13 € (July 2009). In the summer season (July, August) it runs every full hour, starting at 7 a.m. The last ride from D station to the valley is at 5 p.m.
Path description:
A few steps to the right uphill from D station there is a sign "Rombon" on a rock on the ground. We go in this direction to the lower station of the Prevala quad chairlift, beside which we then walk a few minutes to its intermediate station, where at the junction right before it we turn left (straight downhill Rombon and Prevala). The trail runs along a steep slope all the time and is somewhat exposed in places. Considerable caution is needed due to scree on the path, which increases the risk of slipping on steep sections. The path then gradually passes to the eastern side of the mountain, ascends more steeply and becomes somewhat more demanding in places. At a few places one must assist a bit with hands, there are no protections. Just below the summit we encounter the first short fixed cable, which is currently (July 2009) torn off in the lower part, immediately after it the next one, which would probably also need some "service". In this section at one spot a piton is also visible to aid the ascent, but caution – it is not attached but merely wedged between rocks! We ascend the increasingly panoramic slope and after just under an hour of walking reach the summit.
On it stands a miniature copy of the Aljaž Tower, erected by the Slovenian Mountaineering Club Skala. There is a logbook in the turret. The summit is fairly spacious, the views from it very beautiful, as we see everything from the Julian Alps to the Dolomites, Hohe Tauern and the Adriatic Sea.
