Fusine Laghi - Madonna della Neve (Monte Cavallar)

Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Kranjska Gora, then we continue driving towards Rateče and further into Italy. After we cross the state border, we drive on the main road only about 500 m, then by the road we notice the mountaineering signs for "Monte Forno and Bivio M. Cavallar". Here we continue right on a worse macadam road, beside which about 50 m ahead we park at a suitable place by the road.

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on an increasingly bad road, which quickly brings us to moderately steep hay meadows. Across the hay meadows we walk on a marked cart track and mostly ascend diagonally to the right. At first, beautiful views open up on the Julian Alps, then the path passes into the forest and turns to the left. Further on, we ascend diagonally towards the northwest, and the path leads us along an old mule track, which higher up joins the macadam road. When we step onto the road, we continue sharply right; it ascends to a smaller saddle, after which a road branches off to the left towards the summit Kavalar (also Kavalarka) / Monte Cavallar, while we continue straight on the road, which starts to descend moderately. For some time we descend along the road, beside which we notice numerous warnings that we must not leave the road, as otherwise we would step onto private property. After a short descent, we arrive at the place where a road branches off to the left to Marija Snežna / Madonna della Neve (on the sign Maria im Schnee), while straight ahead the path continues towards Tromeja.
We continue in the direction of Marija Snežna and walk through the forest for a short time, then we arrive at some sort of mountain pasture, from where a nice view opens up on Dobrač. Here the road descends a little and brings us to the chapel of Marija Snežna.
