Možnica - Jerebica

Access to starting point:
From Bovec, we drive towards the border crossing Predel, but only to the spot where the road branches off to the left into the Možnica valley (the turn-off from the main road is located immediately after the bridge over the river Koritnica, approximately 4 km after the fortress Kluže and only a little before we reach the village Log pod Mangartom). We park at the beginning of the road into the Možnica valley; further driving is prohibited.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on a macadam road which first crosses a torrent stream and then ascends over avalanche slopes. Higher up, the road enters the forest, and we follow it for a good half hour to the spot where it makes a sharp right turn. Right in the middle of the turn, we leave the road which leads towards the recreational home in Možnica and continue straight on a slightly worse road in the direction of Jerebica. Only a little further ahead, the road ends, and we continue the ascent on a gently sloping mountain path. We follow this gently sloping path for approximately 20 minutes, then continue sharply right (straight unmarked path towards the head of Možnica). The path ahead steeply ascends, aided by some fixed safety gear which helps us overcome the steep rocky section. The path then flattens a little and gradually transitions to overgrown slopes, on which we then ascend (in the morning dew we will get fairly wet). The increasingly panoramic path brings us after a good 3 hours of walking to the Jezersko sedlo saddle (Ital. Sell del Lago), where we cross to the Italian side of the mountain.
Here we continue right on the still overgrown path, which higher slightly descends and then gently ascends. Further on, we cross steep grassy slopes which are mainly dangerous for slipping when wet, and behind them in a further 20 minutes we ascend to the summit of Jerebica.
