Planina Zapleč - Krasji vrh (via snežna jama)

Access to starting point:
From Tolmin or Bovec we drive to Kobarid, from there we follow the road in the direction of Drežnica (the turn-off is from the Kobarid bypass). We continue across the bridge over the Soča River and immediately after the bridge we turn left in the direction of Drežnica. In Drežnica we come to a crossroads, where the road to the village Magozd branches off to the left, and we continue a little further to the next crossroads, where we turn left in the direction of Drežniške Ravne. The road then brings us to a crossroads in Drežniške Ravne, where we turn right uphill in the direction of Krasji vrh. At the next crossroads we again turn right and follow the road to a water trough, where the asphalt ends. We then follow the macadam road for quite a few kilometers to a parking lot by the road in front of the TNP sign and the grazing fence.

Path description:
From the parking lot in front of the TNP sign we continue on the macadam road ahead, which below the slopes of the Krnčica ridge soon brings us to a crossroads on the Zaprikraj mountain pasture. Here we continue left on the worse lower road, which in a few steps brings us to the hamlet on the mountain pasture.
From the buildings on the mountain pasture we continue on a path that slightly ascends in the direction of Krasji vrh. The path then at the end of the mountain pasture crosses a grazing fence and through the forest brings us to a clearing on which a hunting cottage stands. The path ahead continues on a cart track, which goes back into the forest and soon brings us to a junction. We leave the cart track and head left slightly downhill. There follows a few minutes of almost level walking, then we join the footpath from Drežniške Ravne. The path then moderately ascends on slopes grown with forest. The path ahead crosses a clearing on which high grass grows and then ascends again to a junction at an altitude of 1450 m.
We continue right in the direction of Snežna jama. The path ahead first gently ascends through the forest and a bit higher leads us over less vegetated slopes, where it brings us to a junction. We continue straight, Snežna jama five minutes downhill to the left. The path then ascends somewhat more steeply and brings us to the World War ruins. Left below us in a hollow we notice a larger metal cage in which unexploded bombs are stored. The path then passes onto the ridge, where a nice view opens up on the Bovška kotlina basin and surrounding peaks. There follows less than ten minutes of walking on the undemanding summit ridge.
