Access to starting point:
a) From Kranjska Gora, we drive over Vršič or Predel pass to Bovec, where we park at the lower station of the circular cable car to Kanin (the cable car is located near the gas station). Then we buy a ticket and take the cable car to D station.
b) From the Primorska side, we first drive to the Soča river valley and then through Tolmin and Kobarid to Bovec, where we park at the lower station of the circular cable car to Kanin (the cable car is located near the gas station). Then we buy a ticket and take the cable car to D station.
Path description:
At the D station of the Kanin cable car, we continue slightly left towards the northwest (direction Visoki Kanin and Okno v Prestreljeniku, right Prestreljenik). Initially, we walk on relatively flat terrain that is still part of the ski slope. The path leads us past some information boards, then the markers direct us to the trail towards Visoki Kanin and Okno v Prestreljeniku (slightly left Dom Petra Skalarja na Kaninu).
The path runs over rocky terrain for a short time, then gently ascends crossing scree slopes and brings us to a junction.
Here, the path to the window branches off to the right, we continue straight on a gradually steeper and somewhat demanding path, where some fixed protections assist us. When the steepness eases, we reach the saddle south of Hudi Vršič, and the path begins to descend. After a few dozen steps of descent, we reach a marked junction on the saddle under Hudi Vršič, where the path joins us from the left, leading past Dom Petra Skalarja na Kaninu.
We continue straight towards Visoki Kanin, the path then crosses the slopes on the southern side of the border ridge for some time. A somewhat steeper ascent follows on rocky terrain towards the ridge, where a nice view opens towards Montaž and Viš. The path along the slightly exposed ridge then proceeds westwards, aided by some fixed protections. A short descent with fixed protections follows towards Kaninska škrbina and then another ascent towards the ridge. Just below the summit of Visoki Kanin, a somewhat more demanding path from the Italian side joins us from the right. To the summit, only a short ascent along the panoramic ridge remains.
