Drežniške Ravne - Curk Waterfall

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 is from the Kobarid bypass). We continue across the bridge over the Soča River and immediately after the bridge we turn left in the direction of Drežnica. In Drežnica we come to the intersection, where the road to the village Magozd branches off to the left, and we continue a little further to the next intersection, where we turn left in the direction of Drežniške Ravne. The road then brings us to an intersection in Drežniške Ravne, where we turn right uphill in the direction of Krasji vrh. At the next intersection, we again turn right and follow the road to a trough with water, where the asphalt ends. Here is a small parking lot, where we park.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we continue a few tens of meters on the road, and then we reach a marked junction. Signposts direct us to the right onto an initially grassy cart track. After a few meters, when the cart track splits, we continue on the left cart track, which leads us into the forest. Further, we walk for some time through the forest on a slightly less trodden cart track, marked with fairly sparse triangular blazes. The path then turns to the right and crosses the usually dry riverbed of the stream Obevnik. The cart track transitions into a footpath, and a little higher, we reach a slightly wider cart track. For a few meters, we continue right on the cart track, and then signposts guide us to the left onto a footpath.
Here, we ascend a bit more steeply and higher up, we cross a grazing fence. Further, we then walk on grassy terrain, which leads us to another cart track where there is a marked junction. Nearby is also a trough with water.
The path straight upwards leads towards Planina Zapleč, and we continue right on a cart track where signs direct us to Curk Waterfall. We continue on a scenic cart track and soon cross another grazing fence. Further, we still walk on the aforementioned cart track, which runs mostly along meadows with a beautiful view of the surrounding peaks. The path then leads us past another signpost and bench and begins to slightly descend through the forest. After a short descent, we reach another signpost, after which we go left towards Curk Waterfall. To the right, downwards, the path leads towards Drežnica.
From the junction, the path soon becomes narrower and brings us to a warning sign indicating that access to the waterfall is at our own risk. From here, the path becomes more challenging and, with the aid of a steel cable, crosses a very steep slope above the gorge. This path then leads us to a bench, from where there is a very beautiful view of the waterfall. From here, we can also continue along a narrow footpath by the stream to the small pool below the waterfall.
