D station - Velika Črnelska špica

Access to starting point:
a) First, we drive to Kranjska Gora, then continue the drive over Vršič pass or through Italy and then over Predel pass towards Bovec. When we arrive in Bovec, we drive along the bypass past the center, then on the other side of the town right towards the nearby gas station. At the gas station, we turn left and ascend to the nearby parking lot at the lower station of the circular cabin cable car to Kanin. Then we buy a ticket and take the cable car to the D station on Kanin.
b) First, we drive to Tolmin, then continue the drive towards Bovec. At the beginning of Bovec, we leave the main road and continue straight towards the town center. Towards the center we drive only a few tens of meters, then at the gas station we turn sharply left onto the ascending road, along which we quickly arrive at the parking lot at the lower station of the circular cabin cable car. Then we buy a ticket and take the cable car to the D station on Kanin.

Path description:
From D station, we first walk gently uphill to the nearby lower station of the Prevala quad chairlift, from there we continue right towards Prestreljenik and Rombon. The path further leads along the quad chairlift and ascends along the edge of the ski slope. Higher up we arrive at Sedlo (2284 m), where there is the intermediate exit station of the Prevala quad chairlift and where the path to Prestreljenik (2499 m) branches left.
From Sedlo we continue briefly along the ski slope, which descends towards Prevala saddle, then we continue slightly left onto the marked hiking path, which continues along the left side of the ski slope (continuation along the ski slope is also possible). The path, which further moderately to occasionally steeply descends, leads us past some larger sinkholes, then temporarily levels out. Further on, the path turns slightly left and gradually passes onto steeper slopes, which are slightly exposed in a few places. Lower down, the path turns sharply right and descends with the aid of a fixed cable to the junction at Prevala saddle (2067 m).
From Prevala, where there is a junction of five paths, we continue straight or slightly right towards Rombon (sharply left Koča Gilberti, slightly left path 636 leading to Nevejski preval or to preval Na Žlebeh, right downhill Planina Krnica and Bovec).
We continue east along the path, which gradually passes onto the slopes of Lopa (2406 m), which we follow with some ascents and descents to a small saddle between Lopa and Kotel (1881 m). Here the path turns slightly left and continues past numerous sinkholes, which are characteristic of the Kanin mountain range. The path further quickly brings us to a junction, where the path to Črnelska špica (2332 m) branches left.
We continue following the signs »Črnjela« (straight Rombon 2208 m and Speleološki bivak) along the path that begins to ascend below the slopes of Velika Črnelska špica. The path further crosses the slopes to the right and gets closer and closer to the summit of Mala Črnelska špica, but before it the marked path turns left and begins to ascend even more steeply. This is followed by about 15 minutes of ascent on a steep and in some places also exposed slope (there is also a high risk of rockfall), then the path levels out and brings us in a few steps to the summit of Velika Črnelska špica.
