Access to starting point:
From central Slovenia we drive to the center of Bovec via Predel, Vršič, Nova Gorica, Idrija, Cerkno or Petrovo Brdo, there we go uphill in the direction of Kaninska vas. At the next turn-off right (left Plužna). The road becomes a macadam road and in turns brings us to B station, where after the sharp left turn we continue for less than a kilometer to the sharp right turn, where we go left, or straight. Another few hundred meters separate us from the parking lot on the left side, and in front of it from the sign for Kopa straight ahead we see the marked path, which goes towards Kanin; that is also our starting point.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we go a few steps back, where left towards the steep slope we see a somewhat hidden signpost for Kanin, we ascend, and the path then soon flattens and occasionally steeper, occasionally gently brings us in 15 minutes to the crossroads at the log: the right marked path goes to Kanin, we turn slightly left, the path continues through a nice forest, partly flat, occasionally also in zigzags ascends over some rocky step. The clearly visible trail all the time brings us after a good half hour out of the forest, where the first views open up and show the continuation of the path steeply towards the ridge of Ruše, in zigzags we ascend below Ruša, where below its rocks and on the other side above the precipice, but wide enough that there is no danger, we reach the south sunny slopes, where the path levels out and slightly descends to the next crossroads, where we turn right (left mountain pasture Baban). To here together approximately 1 hour and a half.
The path further rises a little and when we first see the tooth of Veliki Babanski Skedenj it flattens again. The path is now already less visible, but there are no major orientation problems, all the time we go in the direction of our visible summit, some turn-offs can still be found, everywhere we go to the right. Later we reach below the walls of Mali Babanski Skedenj, in zigzags below them and then again somewhat flatter and not too steep to the saddle Jezerca between both Skednjs (to here from the previous crossroads approximately 1h 15 minutes.
On the other side of the saddle we continue on at times more exposed trail, at times on a real mule track below the wall. Half an hour of walking from the saddle brings us to the south grassy slopes, where the real trail disappears and we have another approx. 20 minutes to the summit, where we can go as we like, since the grasses are not too steep and when dry they do not pose a danger. Upon arriving at the summit we see the miniature Aljaž tower and in case of nice weather a fantastic view opens up for us.
