Access to starting point:
Between Most na Soči and Tolmin, the road branches off to Poljubinj. From Poljubinj we drive ahead towards the village Ljubinj, where behind the church we turn left towards the mountain pasture Razor and Stador. The road brings us to the parking lot on the mountain pasture Stador, where nearby there is a mountain hut. We drive further to the mountain pasture Lom and further along the road following the signs for Planina Razor. At an altitude of 1150 m we arrive at the mountain pasture Kuk, where there is a parking lot on which we park. Further driving is forbidden.
Path description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the road closed to traffic, which after a few dozen steps brings us to the mountain pasture Planina Kuk, where in the summer time we can buy homemade milk products (sour milk, cheese, curd).
The road ahead starts gently ascending and eventually brings us to the next gate. After the gate, the path goes into the forest and ascends almost imperceptibly, occasionally even slightly descending. After one hour of walking, the path brings us to the mountain pasture Razor, where there is the mountain hut.
From the hut, we head on the path in the direction of Škrbina and Vogel. After a few minutes of gentle walking, the path brings us to the next junction, where we continue straight in the direction of Škrbina (right Vogel).
The path ahead turns slightly to the left and moderately ascends over slopes covered with dwarf pines. When the path brings us to the next junction at an altitude of approximately 1500 m, we continue left in the direction of Škrbina saddle (right Vrh nad Škrbino - south path). The path soon after that emerges from the dwarf pines onto interesting slopes, where on our right side we will notice steep rocky slabs that form an interesting wall for climbers, which is not overly steep. The path ahead ascends transversely over the scree to the Škrbina saddle, which is located at an altitude of 1910 m.
When we step onto Škrbina, a nice view opens up on the Gorenjska side, and at the junction we continue left in the direction of Kuka (right Vrh nad Škrbino, straight down Planina za Migovcem, Komna, Vogel and Ukanc). The path ahead begins to ascend transversely over steep slabs, then both the path and the slope level out somewhat. The path ahead passes below the short wall of Vrh Kont, then begins gently descending over occasionally steeper scree. The path ahead on the Primorska side also crosses Podrto gora and Mali vrh, then returns to the main ridge of Spodnje Bohinjske gore, which it reaches right on the saddle between Mali vrh and Zeleni vrh. From here we continue in the same direction, only that the path from the slopes passes onto a locally exposed ridge. We follow the marked path, which occasionally ascends quite steeply, then with ever better views, all the way to the grassy Zeleni vrh.
From Zeleni vrh we descend on the marked path, which begins descending more steeply to the west. The slope down which we descend quickly narrows and the path brings us to a narrow and slightly exposed ridge. Here the path flattens, and we quickly reach the saddle, from which we begin ascending towards Tolminski Kuk. Above the saddle awaits a short steep ascent, then the path passes onto the ridge, along and beside which we ascend to the highest peak of Spodnje Bohinjske gore.
