Lepena - Planina Zagreben

Access to starting point:
Between Trenta and Bovec, in the village of Soča, a road branches off to Lepena. We follow this fully asphalted road for a little less than three kilometers, then we come to a crossroads where, to the right over the bridge, the road towards apartments Pretner and Hosner branches off. We turn right and park by the road before the bridge. Here there is space only for one or two vehicles. A somewhat larger parking lot is available if we continue on the main road for approximately another 100 meters.

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue over the bridge and follow the road, which after the bridge turns to the left. We follow the road all the way to the last house. When the cart track branches off to the right midway, we continue left and also slightly descend. When we come to the last house, the road ends. Behind the house on the right, we will notice a narrow footpath.
We head onto the mentioned footpath and after approximately ten meters, by the path we will notice a signpost which marks the path towards Planina Zagreben. We continue on the path through the forest and quickly we are again at a junction. To the right leads the path towards yet another house, while we continue left where the inscription on the sign »Zagreben, Šumnik« directs us.
Further on, the path is poorly trodden for some time, so we must pay attention to the black-red blazes with which the Walk of Peace (Pot miru) is marked. When two more paths from the aforementioned house join us from the right, the path becomes somewhat better trodden again. The path then runs through the forest along the Šumnik stream for quite some time. Occasionally, views also open up to smaller waterfalls and pools. Higher up, the path moves somewhat away from the stream but still runs parallel to it for a while. Here the path constantly runs through the forest, so it does not offer much of a view. Later the path turns right and brings us to a junction by some ruins.
Here, to the left, a path branches off that runs through the valley towards the saddle Čez Potoče. We continue right and the path quickly brings us through a short clearing to the monument of the First World War. From the starting point to the monument it is approximately 1:30 hours of walking.
From the monument, we continue to follow the Walk of Peace, which is marked with red-black blazes. The path further crosses the slopes towards the west and bypasses the ridge that runs from the peak Konj (1279m) towards the peak Brdo (1520m). The slope that we cross becomes quite steep and on a shorter section a steel cable also helps us. From the path here, beautiful views also open up on the peaks north of us. Somewhat later, there are two hairpin turns on the path and in the right bend we will reach a somewhat less visible junction.
Here we leave the Walk of Peace, which is marked with red-black blazes, and head left onto the less trodden path. At the beginning of this path, an arrow is carved into the tree on the right side. Further on, the path begins to ascend somewhat more steeply and for most of the time runs slightly to the left. Here more attention is needed as the path is poorly visible. The path continues ascending and brings us to the abandoned and quite overgrown Planina Zagreben. The path leads us past the ruins on the Planina and then turns right upwards. The last ascent to the hunting hut, which we already see ahead of us, follows.
