Access to starting point:
A) First, we drive to Kranjska Gora, and then we continue driving through the border crossing Rateče into Italy. We drive towards Trbiž / Tarvisio, and then at the beginning of the mentioned town, we turn left in the direction of Bovec. Further, we drive on a regional road towards the border crossing Predel, and only a little after the mentioned border crossing (so, when we are already on the Slovenian side) we turn left in the direction of Mangartsko sedlo. Further, we drive on a road narrow in places and serpentine (the road also has some tunnels), and we drive on it to Mangartsko sedlo, where on a parking lot at 2050 meters above sea level we also park. The road is a toll road.
B) First, we drive to Bovec, and then we continue driving towards the border crossing Predel. Only a few 100 meters before the mentioned border crossing, more precisely after the larger arch bridge, we turn right in the direction of Mangartsko sedlo. Further, we drive on a road narrow in places and serpentine (the road also has some tunnels), and we drive on it to Mangartsko sedlo, where on a parking lot at 2050 meters above sea level we also park. The road is a toll road.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we first walk to Mangartsko sedlo, from where we continue right towards the east and continue on a scenic grassy ridge. After a few minutes of easy walking, the path ascends somewhat more steeply and bypasses the nearby Travnik (2200 m) on the right south side. From here, the path becomes even a bit steeper, and after approximately 30 minutes of walking from the starting point, it brings us to a junction where the path splits into two parts: left Italian path and right Slovenian path.
We continue on the right Slovenian path, which in a gentle descent crosses the nearby scree and brings us to the beginning of the climbing part of the path.
Here, because of the danger of falling rocks, we put on a helmet.
The path ahead immediately ascends steeply, and during the ascent we are helped by pegs and steel cables. Higher, the path temporarily flattens and passes onto an artificial ledge, after which we cross a gully exposed to falling rocks (this part of the path is well secured). On the other side of the gully, the path continues to ascend steeply, and on the more difficult spots we also have to use our hands. We continue the path in and beside the wide gully straight upwards, and during the ascent the path occasionally runs above deep precipices. Higher, the path turns somewhat to the left and gradually becomes less demanding. When we see the cross in front of us, only a few dozen steps of easy walking separate us from the summit.
We can descend on the somewhat easier Italian path.
Mangartsko sedlo - junction 30 minutes, junction - Mangart 1:30.
