Access to starting point:
We drive to the center of Bovec, where from the intersection at the main square we continue along the ascending road, which past the post office begins to climb towards the nearby church. We bypass the mentioned church on the left side, then arrive in Kaninska vas. Bovec then ends, and the road continues to lead us westwards for some time. At a small junction, we leave the main asphalt road leading to the village of Plužna and continue driving along the slightly right road (after the intersection, signs for Gozdec road). Behind the nearby farmhouse, the road forks again, and this time we choose the slightly left road (slightly right to Zavrzelno and the starting point of the path to Rombon). We then ascend along the gravel road, which higher up brings us to the B station of the Kanin cable car. At the B station, the road turns sharply left, then in a traverse ascent after approximately 1 km of further driving brings us to the next intersection. From this intersection, we continue left or straight ahead (sharply right to planina Krnica), following the road from the intersection only for a short time. Soon by the road we notice signs for Kanin, and we park about 20 meters further on, at a small parking lot by the road.
From Trga Golobarskih žrtev to the starting point is approximately 9 km.
Path description:
From the starting point, we go back a few steps, then head onto the marked path in the direction of Visoki Kanin and Vrh Laške planje. The path immediately starts to ascend steeply, mostly leading us through dense forest, with only occasional views of the surroundings. During the ascent, the path takes us below the cliffs of Turn v Skednju (1555 m). When the cliffs end, we arrive at an unmarked junction, where we continue slightly right on the marked path (slightly left unmarked path leading to Veliki Babanski Skedenj 2121 m); this soon steeply climbs over a short steep slope, where there is a greater risk of slipping especially when wet. The steepness soon eases, and we arrive at the abandoned Planina Gozdec, which we bypass on the right side.
We then ascend through increasingly sparse forest, so some views open up from the path towards the Bovec Basin and Krn Mountains. A fairly even ascent follows, and while looking at the walls of Veliki Skedenj, we arrive at a small spring located to the right of the path. Even further on, the followable path is covered with grass that can be quite wet after rain, in the morning, and in the forenoon. After a while, the path turns more towards the west and gradually becomes less steep. A few more minutes of scenic ascent follow, and we arrive at the ruins of the old Petra Skalar hut, which burned down in 1972.
We bypass the hut on the left side, then ascend gently to moderately for some time through more grassy terrain. The path then turns more towards the south, where a somewhat steeper ascent follows, and the path slowly turns right, so we mostly walk westwards. A few more minutes of easy walking follow, and we arrive at a marked junction, where we continue left following the Kanin signs; right leads the path to Dom Petra Skalarja na Kaninu.
The path then brings us with some shorter descents and ascents back to another junction. Right branches another path to Dom Petra Skalarja, straight or slightly right leads the path through Zadnji dol valley to Visoki Kanin, and we head left towards Vrh Laške Planje.
From the junction, we first ascend mostly grassy terrain where the path is very poorly visible. The path soon turns right and for some time proceeds northwest almost parallel to the path leading to Visoki Kanin. Later, the path turns slightly left, and the terrain becomes more rocky. We continue for quite some time on the Kanin plateaus where the path is mostly invisible, so we must be very attentive to the markers and cairns. At some points, the path ascends more steeply, so we need to use our hands. Later, the path turns slightly right and brings us to more scree terrain alongside which we ascend more steeply. Along such a path, we then reach a small saddle on the left side of the summit Turn pod Laško Planjo.
Here we continue left and begin a very steep ascent along the partly grassy ridge. Considerable caution is needed here, as the ascent is very steep and also dangerous for slipping. We continue along the ridge, which further on becomes somewhat less steep and again more rocky. We follow the ridge all the way to Vrh Laške Planje, which is located on the border between Italy and Slovenia.
At the summit, where we join the Visoka Rezijanska pot, we continue right along the border ridge. Initially, we descend slightly along a fairly wide and easy ridge marked with red triangles. Our path soon descends a bit, then ascends again over rocks to the ridge along which we reach the lesser-known summit Mali Dol. From the summit, we descend to the nearby saddle from which a not overly steep gully leads towards the Kanin plateaus. From the saddle, we continue straight and ascend the ridge along which we soon reach the summit of Črni Vogel.
The easiest descent is along the ascent path.
