Access to starting point:
First, we drive to Tolmin, from there we follow the road in the direction of Zatolmin (main road we leave at the traffic light). In Zatolmin we notice signposts for Javorca, which point us on an ascending road towards Javorca. Occasionally quite narrow and in parts precipitous road after approximately 8 km of driving brings us to a smaller crossroad, where the road towards Javorca branches off to the left upwards. We continue straight, and we follow the road only for approximately 100 meters and then on an appropriate place by the gate we also park.
Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on a macadam road (road is closed for public traffic), and after few minutes of easy walking it brings us to the main part of the mountain pasture, where there are few cottages. Behind the mountain pasture, the road becomes even a little worse, and after few minutes of additional walking brings us to a crossing, where the path towards the mountain pasture Planina na Prodih branches off to the right (access to the mountain pasture is very interesting, because we have to cross river Tolminka, and this is done by a manual cableway). We continue straight, and the road finally changes into a cart track and higher into a well-preserved mule track. After that, the path becomes a little steeper and past two benches and higher past a fresh rockfall (earthquake in Posočje 1998) brings us to a grazing fence, over which we step on the south edge of the mountain pasture Planina pod Osojnico. Only few meters ahead, the path splits into two parts. We continue on the right bottom path, on which in a gentle descent, we quickly get to the hunting cottage at the source of Tolminka.
From the source of Tolminka we continue a gentle ascent through the mountain pasture Planina pod Osojnico, and from the left soon joins the upper path, which is exposed to active rockfall.
We continue in the direction of the mountain pasture Prode and Prehodci on the path which brings us to a mighty torrent where there is again a crossing.
At the crossing, we continue right following the signs »Planina Prode« and by the dam we cross a wide riverbed of a torrent. On the other side of the riverbed there is again a crossing. This time we continue left, right leads the path towards the mountain pasture Planina Prode. The path then short time leads through the forest parallel with the riverbed of a torrent, and then turns to the right and starts ascending. Later, the path brings us on a smaller clearing, and then starts a little steeper ascending through the forest. Further, we are for quite some time ascending in zig-zags through the forest. Higher the forest becomes on some sections a little thinner and increasingly beautiful views start to open up. The path then turns to the right and in ascent crosses slopes towards the southeast. Out of the forest we come on slopes a little overgrown with nettles and bushes and follows the last ascent to the hunting cottage on Planina Dobrenjščica.
At the hunting cottage, we continue left towards the northwest and the path soon brings us to a marked crossing. To the right upwards leads the path towards the mountain hut Koča na planini Razor, and we continue left and we still cross a slope towards the northwest. By the path, we will then soon notice a poorly visible footpath which leads left downwards towards a well (marked with the caption »Voda 40m« (water 40m)). From here we continue a good 100 meters on a footpath, and then we will notice right upwards a narrow lane, which isn't vegetated with dwarf pines. Here we leave the marked path and go by dwarf pines straight upwards. Further, we are then steeply ascending by dwarf pines upwards until we come on a worse beaten path. On the footpath we continue right and then start ascending in zig-zags upwards. The path is here marked with some cairns and out of the dwarf pines brings us on rocky slopes. The path becomes even slightly less visible and turns a little to the right towards the east. A little below the ridge we will notice a military bunker towards which we ascend. From here a short ascent follows to the saddle between the peaks Kser and Vrh Škrli, where we join the marked path which leads on Tolminski Kuk.
We continue right on the ridge in the direction of Tolminski Kuk and the path soon brings us to indistinct peak named Kser.
The path ahead descends a little on the ridge and it brings us to a smaller saddle. Further, we again start ascending, and the path runs mostly by the left side of the ridge. A pretty steep path, which on some spots is slightly exposed then brings us on the ridge. A short ascent follows on the ridge and the path brings us on the next peak (Vrh Planje 1971 meters) from which a nice view opens up on Tolminski Kuk.
From Vrh Planje the path starts descending steeper on in parts exposed ridge and after 100 lost altitude meters brings us on a saddle Planja, where from the left side joins an unmarked path from the mountain pasture Govnjač.
We continue on the path which starts steeply ascending on northwestern slope of Tolminski Kuk. This part is because of substantial steepness also very exposed to falling stones. A very steep path, which on some spots is also slightly exposed after 30 minutes of walking from the saddle Planja brings us on a panoramic peak.
On the way: The Tolminka spring (695m), Planina Dobrenjščica (1304m), Kser (1900m), Vrh Planje (1971m), Planja (1874m)
