Access to starting point:
At first, we drive to the center of Kobarid, and then continue driving towards the settlement Robič. At the roundabout near the settlement Staro selo we continue right in the direction of Breginj. At the end of the settlement Borjana we turn left downwards in the direction of Podbela. We drive through the village Podbela towards the Nadiža river, which we later also cross. We then follow the road to a larger marked parking lot near the Napoleon bridge. The parking lot is located approximately 100 meters before the Napoleon bridge on the left side of the road. In the summer season the parking lot is payable.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue along the main road and soon notice Napoleon bridge on the right side. From Napoleonov most we continue along the road for a few dozen metres, then notice yellow signposts on the left side of the road. Here we leave the main road and head onto a footpath in the direction of Pradolina and the village of Štupca.
First we cross a small stream, then begin ascending through the forest. The path we are ascending is not marked with standard trail blazes; only in a few places can we spot some brown markings on the trees. The path ascends quite steeply and then crosses a macadam road. The path is somewhat less trodden and continues ascending through the forest, bringing us to the next marked junction.
A still less-beaten path branches off to the right towards Robidišče, while we continue straight ahead on the trail. We continue walking along the trail through the forest, beside which there are quite a few fallen trees. The path then brings us to another signpost, where we continue to the right in the direction of the village of Štupca. We continue along a gentler path that crosses the national border and brings us to the saddle Nad Pradolom, where there is a junction.
Straight ahead the path leads through the Pradol gorge towards the village of Štupca, while we continue left towards the summit of Mija (Monte Mia). From the saddle the path climbs an occasionally quite steep slope, so some caution is required during the ascent. Higher up, the path turns left and the steepness eases a little. The path then leads us mostly through beech forest and runs in an easterly direction. Due to leaves on the path, the trail can be less visible, so we need to pay closer attention to the markings. Higher up we will also notice yellow-red markings along the path, but we continue to follow the white-red markings. Later the path brings us to signposts where we join a cart track. We continue right along the cart track and near Planina Mija we reach another junction. We take the right cart track, which quickly brings us to the mountain pasture.
