Passo Tanamea (Rio Bianco) - Casera Nischiuarch

Access to starting point:
From the road Kobarid – Bovec in the village Žaga we turn towards the border crossing Učja. On the Italian side, at the crossroads where the road to the right branches off towards Karnica saddle and Rezija, we continue left or straight ahead towards the village of Videm / Udine. We follow the road to the bridge where it crosses the stream Beli potok / Rio Bianco. We park on the left side before the bridge, where there is a smaller parking lot. Next to the parking lot there are also signs marking the end of the Val Resia and the beginning of the municipality Bardo / Lusevera. There is also a smaller parking lot on the other side of the bridge.

Path description:
From the parking lot before the bridge we cross the road and signposts direct us onto path 739 towards Ricovero Casera Nischiuarch (Planina Nizki vrh). The path ascends steeply from the road, passes a military bunker and turns slightly to the right. Further on, we climb for some time through the forest and then cross the riverbed of the stream Rio Roncat. The path continues to ascend through the forest, so it offers little view. The path we are climbing is also part of the pilgrimage route Il Cammino Celeste from Aquileia to Monte Lussari, so along the way we will occasionally notice blue markings for this route in addition to the usual blazes. Higher up, the path turns gently to the right and then continues eastward. We climb for a while longer, then the path descends slightly. After the descent, the path turns left and soon brings us to the mountain pasture Planina Nizki vrh. A short ascent follows past the signposts to the cottage on the mountain pasture.
