Access to starting point:
Access from Trbiž/Tarvisio: From Trbiž/Tarvisio we drive on the old road to Austria. After the village Vrata/Thorl, a road branches off to the left, which through the underpass crosses the railway. We follow the road ahead to the village Bistrica/Feistritz, where in the center of the village at the sharp right turn, a road branches off towards the village Blače/Vorderberg (at the crossroad we continue straight). In the village Blače/Vorderberg we turn left towards the church and follow the road ahead to the next crossroad, where we continue right in the direction of the mountain pasture Donice/Dolinza Alm. The asphalt road then runs past the cottage on Kočiška planina/Koutschitz Alm and only a little further brings us to the next crossroad, where we continue left on the lower road. The road then descends, crosses a stream and then again starts ascending. We park on one of the smaller parking lots by the road before the sign that prohibits all traffic.
Access from Beljak/Villach: On the old road we drive towards Trbiž/Tarvisio and after the village Megvarje/Maglern we turn right under the railway. Further, we follow the above description.
Access from Slovenia: Over the border crossing Rateče to Trbiž/Tarvisio, then follow the above description.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the road along which we parked. After approximately 15 minutes of walking, the path brings us to the mountain hut on the alpine pasture. Further, we continue on the road, which a few meters before the hut (in the direction of arrival) turns right and crosses a short stretch of forest and a small torrential stream. This is followed by traversing the alpine pasture to a path junction, where we continue sharply left to the hut standing alone on this part of the pasture.
The path then climbs gently in a traversing ascent and brings us to a grazing fence. Next, we cross the fence and continue through the forest. After a few minutes of walking through the forest, the path brings us again to the forest road, but we merely cross it. The path then, after a few steps, crosses the road again and continues through the forest, where we cross a small streamlet. Ahead, the path crosses a grassy clearing and enters the forest again, where it steeply ascends for a short time. This is followed by crossing a torrent bed, after which the path gradually emerges from the forest onto wide grassy slopes surrounded by larches. The path ahead is somewhat harder to follow and turns to the left. This is followed by a barely noticeable ascent to the grassy ridge, where the path makes a sharp right turn. Next comes traversing slightly below the summit grassy ridge to a path junction, where we continue in the same direction. Ahead, the path ascends a gentle grassy slope to the foot of steeper slopes. Here we notice markers directing us right below the steep slopes to the edge of the forest. This is followed by a short ascent through the forest, then the path ascends slightly below the ridge to the panoramic summit.
