Korensko sedlo - Kamnati vrh/Steinberg (by road)

Access to starting point:
From Kranjska Gora or Rateče we drive to Podkoren, and then we continue driving towards Korensko sedlo saddle, which is the starting point for our tour.

Route description:
From the parking lot on Korensko sedlo saddle, we first cross the border, then continue on the asphalt road towards Beljak. After a good 5 minutes of walking, we will notice yellow mountain signposts on the right side, which direct us to the traffic-closed forest road (direction Steinberg).
The initially gentle road soon begins to ascend more steeply, and it brings us after approximately 1 hour of walking out of the forest onto a larger clearing, from which a nice view opens up on the nearby Dobrač. Here the road flattens, and it turns a little to the right, where it then crosses the slopes towards the east. The increasingly poor road soon ends, and we continue to the right on a steep footpath, which climbs straight up the slope. After approximately 5 minutes of steep ascent, the path turns to the left and flattens. A gentle diagonal ascent through the forest follows, which ends on Rekaršica saddle, on which there stands a smaller shepherd hut.
From Rekaršica we continue on the Austrian forest road, which ascends along the border ridge. The road soon turns a little to the left, and we follow it only to the spot where a marked footpath branches off to the right, which further ascends parallel to the road. After a few minutes of diagonal ascent we step on a smaller ridge, where from the left side the path from the village Strmec/Krainberg joins. We continue sharply right on a moderately steep path, on which in less than 5 minutes of further walking we ascend to Kamnati vrh.
