From Kranjska Gora over the border crossing Rateče to Trbiž / Tarvisio (to here possible also over the border crossing Predel) and further on a highway towards Videm / Udine. We leave the highway at settlement Tolmezzo, from where we continue driving towards the settlement Ampezzo and forward towards Alpine mountain pass Passo della Mauria (1298 meters). Still before the mentioned mountain pass we will come in the settlement Forni di Sopra, where approximately 100 meters before the bottom station of four-seater chairlift, we turn right on narrow and higher also quite steep road. On the mentioned road, we drive above the settlement, and there at the smaller crossroad we park on an appropriate place (road continues towards the ski slope Forni di Sopra and is with a traffic sign closed for public traffic). From Kranjska Gora to the starting point, there is approximately 122 km.

From the starting point, we go on a steep macadam road in the direction of the mountain hut Som Picol. Pretty steep road (angle to 30%) at first leads through the forest and then it brings us to the cableway, which runs to the hut Som Picol. Here the road turns a little to the right and is slightly flattens. Higher beautiful views start to open up on surrounding mountains, and the path brings us below the steep cliffs of the peak Clap Varmost (1751 meters). Here our path which continues on the road, on a ski track, turns to the left and it brings us to a trough with water.
