Rifugio Pelizzo - Monte Mataiur/Matajur (via Dom na Matajure)

Access to starting point:
From the road Tolmin - Kobarid, in the settlement Idrsko turn left (from the direction of Kobarid right), where a steep road branches off towards the village Livek. We head onto the mentioned road, which after approximately 5 km of ascent brings us to the mentioned village. We continue driving on an ever narrower road, which leads into Italy. On the other side of the border, the road starts descending, and we follow it through the villages Polava / Polava and Čepletišče / Cepletischis to a somewhat larger crossroads, where we continue right in the direction of the village Matajur / Montemaggiore and the mountain hut Rifugio Pelizzo. We follow the road, which ahead ascends relatively steeply, at the following crossroads in the direction of the mentioned mountain hut. We park on the arranged parking lot right below the mountain hut Rifugio Pelizzo.

Path description:
From the parking lot we first ascend the stairs to the mountain hut, then continue in the direction of "Monte Matajur" and "Dom na Matajure". The path ahead moderately ascends a panoramic grassy slope, from which beautiful views open up on Beneška Slovenija and the Julian Alps. Higher the path leads us through a belt of raspberry bushes, then brings us to a marked junction, where we continue left in the direction of "Dom na Matajure" (straight Matajur, right Livek).
Immediately after the junction the path flattens completely and continues crossing panoramic grassy slopes to the left. We follow this pleasant and nicely arranged trail all the way to the mountain hut, which we reach after less than 10 minutes of walking from the junction.
From Dom na Matajure we continue right and follow the moderately steep path, which runs along a relatively gentle ridge, all the way to the summit of Matajur. From Dom na Matajure to the summit we need approximately 15 minutes.
