Dom v Lepeni - Planina na Polju

Access to starting point:
Between Trenta and Bovec, near the village of Soča, a road branches off to Lepena. We follow this fully asphalted road to the parking lot at the Dom v Lepeni.

Path description:
From the Dr. Klement Jug Hut in Lepena we continue on a wide marked path in the direction of the Krn Lakes. After a few minutes of walking, the wide and not too steep path splits into two parts. The left one, which is a bit steeper, is the normal way, and the right one, less steep and somewhat longer, is suitable for small children and the elderly. Both paths cross each other a few times and are mostly ascending through the forest until we get to the upper station of the cargo cableway. From the upper station of the cargo cableway, we continue on the same path that gently ascends on the wide transport road that quickly brings us to the snow height measurement (every year in April). From here the road starts to descend and leads us past the turn-off to Velika Baba, quickly bringing us to the next crossing where we leave the road and continue left down on the footpath that in a few minutes brings us to the Dom pri Krnskih jezerih (if we continue on the road, we bypass the mountain hut).
From the mountain hut, we continue straight in the direction of Krn and Krn Lake on a gentle path that soon joins the path that bypasses the mountain hut. We continue past the shepherd hut, behind which we get to the next crossing, where we again continue in the direction of Krn (left Bogatin, Mali Šmohor and Dom na Komni).
The gentle path brings us after the next few minutes to the pearl of the Krn mountains. In front of us we see Krn Lake and inviting meadows by the lake for a rest. The marked path then leads us on the left side of the lake by the base of the scree of Mali Šmohor. On the other side of the lake, the path turns a little to the left and ascends on a somewhat steeper slope, where higher up the unmarked (upper) path joins us, crossing the scree above Krn Lake in an ascending traverse (this path is a little shorter but exposed to falling stones). The path then turns a little to the right and brings us to extensive deposits of torrential gravel that end on Planina na Polju.
