Planina Zapleč - Krnčica

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 over the bridge over the river Soča and immediately after the bridge we turn left in the direction of Drežnica. In Drežnica we come to an intersection, where the road to the village Magozd branches off to the left, and we continue a little further to the next intersection, where we turn left in the direction of Drežniške Ravne. The road then brings us to an intersection in Drežniške Ravne, where we turn right uphill in the direction of Krasji vrh. At the next intersection, 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:
At the end of the parking lot where we cross a grazing fence, a signpost for Krn and the saddle Vrata points us right onto a footpath. The path, which runs along a slightly grassy mule track, first ascends diagonally and then ascends for a long time in long zigzags on a grassy slope. The path, which is slightly less trodden, is otherwise marked with rare blazes, mostly in the form of red lines. Later, the path leads us for a shorter time also along a slope that is partly overgrown with bushes. In the continuation, we continue to ascend in long zigzags on a grassy slope. Higher up as we approach the ridge somewhat, the path crosses the slope to the right and brings us to a junction marked with an inscription on a rock.
To the left the path leads to the saddle Vrata, we continue straight where the inscription Krn directs us.
The path brings us from the junction soon to somewhat exposed slopes, which we cross in the continuation during the ascent towards the east. The path here runs along an old military mule track and leads us also through a short tunnel. A zigzag ascent on a steep slope follows, which brings us to a junction below the summit of Krnčica.
Straight ahead the path leads, which bypasses the summit, we turn left upwards towards the summit of Krnčica where the inscription on the rock also directs us.
After a short ascent, the path brings us to a panoramic ridge. Here we continue right and along the path marked with red triangles quickly reach the summit where there is a cross and a logbook.
