Krnica - Veliki Rob

Access to starting point:
A) From Nova Gorica, we drive through Solkan in the direction of Bovec, then at the last traffic-light intersection, already at the exit from Solkan, we continue straight towards Lokvam (left Bovec, right bypass). We continue driving to the village Trnovo, where at the beginning of the village at the building of the Gozdno gospodarstvo we turn right in the direction of the hamlet Rijavci (marked). We follow the main road through Rijavci, continue past Kopitnik and on macadam to the forestry cottage in Krnica, where again on asphalt at the intersection we turn right. We continue a few dozen meters to a large clearing on the left (log skidding), where we can park. In case log skidding is taking place on the mentioned clearing, we continue driving through the hairpin bend and park at the first suitable place by the road.
B) From Tolmin we drive to the beginning of Solkan and at the first traffic-light intersection we turn left towards Lokvam (continuation as in the description from Nova Gorica).

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on the asphalt road past the hairpin turn. The road then flattens and after approximately 200 meters a sign on a pole directs us sharply right onto a worse cart track. We follow the cart track, which runs almost parallel to the road, only for a short time, as a new signpost on a tree directs us left onto the marked path towards Veliki rob. (At this spot, a shortcut from the road also joins the path, marked by a cairn, which shortens the bend along the cart track). The path first moderately ascends for a short time, then along the well-beaten and marked path we only gently ascend through the forest. When a new sign directs us right towards the ridge, the path begins to ascend more steeply again and we soon reach the ridge from where we have a view of the Vipava Valley, and from the right the path from Vitovlje joins us. At the junction we continue left towards the summit, which we already see ahead. The path then turns slightly left from the ridge and avoids the steep cliffs. An ascent follows through a short stretch of forest and the path brings us to the summit slope of the mountain, from where we have only a few dozen steps to the top.
We can extend the trip to Kuclja (1 hour), to the Koča Antona Bavčarja hut on Čavnu (1h 45 min).

Trip can be extended to: Kucelj na Čavnu (1 h)
