Access to starting point:
From Tolmin or Bovec we drive to Kobarid, from there we follow the road in the direction of Drežnica (the turn-off from the Kobarid bypass). We continue across the bridge over the river Soča and immediately after the bridge we turn left in the direction of Drežnica. We then follow this mostly ascending road to the center of Drežnica, where we turn right and drive on to the primary school, which is the starting point of our path.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we head past the chapel and primary school on the marked path to Krn. Further on, the path leads through the forest and then along the pasture to the Triglav National Park sign. Here the path along the road also joins (road from Drežnica), but we continue on the marked path, which a little higher crosses the Ročica stream, after which we arrive at a marked junction, where we continue left towards the bivouac and the very demanding path to Krn (right the easier path to Krn).
The path ahead enters a dense forest, through which it moderately ascends alongside the Ročica stream. Further on, the path turns slightly right and leads us to the Bivak na Črniku.
From the bivouac, we continue sharply left and continue the ascent along the path ascending through the forest. When after a few minutes of further walking we step out of the forest, we turn slightly left, then after a short crossing of the slopes below the Krn walls we arrive at the start of the climbing section of the path.
Already at the start of the climbing section, with the aid of pegs and a steel cable, we ascend almost vertically up the rocky slope. After a short very steep ascent, the path turns gently left and for a short time becomes somewhat less demanding. This is followed by an ascent along the cable and then a zigzag ascent up a very steep and unprotected grassy slope (when wet there is a very high risk of slipping on this section, and even when dry considerable caution is required). The path then turns right and brings us to a marked junction.
The right (Zahodna drežniška) path crosses the exposed western slopes of Krn and later joins the path from the Kuhinja pasture and the easier path from Drežnica, while we continue left towards the Silva Korena path.
Further on, the path runs along a very steep and exposed ridge, which is well protected. This path then takes us to the logbook box with the logbook, located before the most exposed section of the path. The path continues along a relatively narrow and precipitous ridge, where we climb two vertical ladders. This is followed by a few very steep ascents along the cable, after which the path levels out and takes us to the Gomiščkovo zavetišče na Krnu hut.
From the hut, we continue towards Krn, which we reach after about 10 minutes of further walking.
We can descend via the easier southern path.
