Planina Kuk - Vrh nad Škrbino (via Škrbina)

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 pastures Razor and Stador. The road brings us to the parking lot on the mountain pasture Stador, where there is a mountain hut nearby. We drive further to the mountain pasture Lom and further along the road following the signs to mountain pasture 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.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the road closed to traffic, which after a few dozen steps brings us to Planina Kuk, where in the summer time we can buy homemade dairy products (sour milk, cheese, curd).
The road ahead starts gently ascending and brings us after a while 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 Planina Razor, where there is the mountain hut.
From the hut, we go 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 comes out of the dwarf pines onto interesting slopes, where on our right side we will notice steep rocky slabs, which form an interesting wall for climbers, which is not too steep. The path ahead ascends transversely over the scree to Škrbina saddle, which is at an altitude of 1910 m.
From the saddle, where there is also a junction, we continue right on the south side of the ridge in the direction of Vrh nad Škrbino (left Tolminski Kuk). The path then brings us on a steep, slightly crumbly slope to steep northern slopes. Here we come to the first steel cables along which we ascend steeply. The path then turns to the right, where with the help of a few pegs we ascend again to the south side of the ridge. On the south side, the path steeply ascends a few more times by the steel cable, then the path gradually becomes less demanding. There follows approximately ten minutes of walking on a panoramic ridge towards the summit. A few meters below the summit a somewhat easier direct path from Planina Razor also joins from the right.
