Access to starting point:
From Kranjska Gora, via the border crossing at Rateče, we drive to Trbiž / Tarvisio. In Trbiž we continue left in the direction of Bovec and follow the road to the intersection near Rabeljsko Lake. Here we continue right in the direction of Nevejski preval / Sella Nevea. We follow this road, which is mostly ascending, to the bridge, where in the left bend the road crosses the stream Bele vode / Rio Bianco. On the left side of the road, we will notice a few smaller parking spots.
From Bovec we drive to the border crossing Predel, from which we descend to the Italian side. Just a little after Rabeljsko Lake we come to the intersection, where we continue left in the direction of Nevejski preval / Sella Nevea. Further, follow the above description.
Path description:
From the signposts at the beginning of the path (before the bridge on the right side of the road) we continue through the forest on the right side of the stream Rio Bianco along which we ascend gently for quite some time. The valley Bele vode (Italian: Rio Bianco) also got its name from the stream. The path then turns to the left and crosses smaller streams a few times. Later, the path turns again a little to the right and there follows a shorter ascent in hairpins to the abandoned hut Brunner, where because of the forest there is no view. At the hut, where there is also a junction, we continue straight on path 625 in the direction of bivouac Gorizia. The path then soon comes out of the forest and ascends along the stream through dwarf pines. Later, the path turns to the left and brings us to a junction. We continue on the left path towards bivouac Gorizia, to the right branches off the path towards the notch Bele vode (Italian: Forca di Rio Bianco). The dwarf pines then soon end, and the path starts to ascend a little more steeply. When the path flattens a little again, a sign on the rock directs us left towards the bivouac, to which we have approximately 50 meters, and to the right runs the direct path towards Krniška škrbina (Italian: Forcella del Vallone).
