Access to starting point:
a) First we drive to Kranjska Gora, then continue driving via MP Rateče into Italy. We head towards Tarvisio, then at the beginning of the mentioned town turn left towards Bovec. We continue on the regional road towards MP Predel, but follow the main road to the intersection near Rabeljsko jezero / Lago del Predil. Here we continue right towards Nevejski preval (V Žlebeh) / Sella Nevea and drive on the asphalt road to the mentioned pass. We park in the large parking lot at the lower station of the circular cable car leading to the hut Rifugio Gilberti.
b) First we drive to Bovec, then continue driving towards MP Predel, crossing into Italy. This is followed by a descent to Rabeljsko jezero, after which we leave the main road towards Tarvisio and continue left towards Nevejski preval (V Žlebeh). The road then starts ascending again, and we follow it to the mentioned pass. We park in the large parking lot at the lower station of the circular cable car leading to the hut Rifugio Gilberti.
Route description:
From the parking lot we head onto the narrow asphalt road that leads past the hotel Nevea. After about 100 meters of walking we reach the signpost for path no. 636, which directs us left across the meadow onto the marked footpath. The path soon leads us into the forest, through which we continue ascending on an old military mule track. Higher up the forest becomes increasingly sparse, and the path brings us with increasingly frequent beautiful views to the ruins of the Poviz barracks.
The path continues to ascend for some time, then brings us to a marked junction where we continue left towards the Prevala saddle (right to the hut Rifugio Gilberti).
The path ahead levels out somewhat and becomes increasingly scenic. A little further on we reach the next junction. This time we continue right towards the Prevala saddle (straight ahead to the Vrh Laških brežičev saddle / Sella Robon) on a path that begins to ascend moderately. The wide and well-preserved old military path quickly leads us into a more rocky world, where it begins to turn somewhat more to the right. Higher up the path leads us to the Lope scree slopes, where the path ascends somewhat more steeply. A little further on the marked path comes very close to the upper station of the cable car that connects the Slovenian and Italian sides of the ski resort. Here we notice a sign that passage on the old path is disabled, so we turn right onto a path marked with red dots and poorly trodden. The path ahead first descends slightly, then ascends onto a newly built ski slope, along which we descend in a few minutes to the Prevala saddle.
From Prevala we ascend along the right edge of the Slovenian ski slope, where after a few steps we notice on the right side the start of the marked path leading towards Prestreljenik and the upper station of the cable car on Kanin (the start of the path is not marked). The path ahead first ascends quite steeply along a cable, then the protections end and the path remains quite steep and prone to slipping for some time. Soon the path turns left, where it first ascends transversely along an old military trench, then levels out and crosses steep and slip-prone slopes. After a few minutes the path transitions to less steep slopes, over which it ascends in a moderate climb towards the Saddle (saddle between Grdi vršič and Prestreljenik). After about half an hour of walking from Prevala we reach the mentioned saddle, and a few 10 m earlier we join the ski slope (if the initial ascent from Prevala seems too dangerous, we can also reach the mentioned saddle via the ski slope).
From the Saddle, where the exit station of the 4-seater Prevala chairlift is also located, we notice a large marking that directs us to the western side of the Saddle. Here the marked path turns right and begins to ascend steeply up the steep slope. Higher up the path levels out transitionally, then passes at the foot of Prestreljenik, where it first ascends over scree. The path ahead transitions to steep slopes, where it then ascends transversely to the right. This is followed by a short ascent across a grassy slope, after which the path transitions to a completely rocky world, where we must use our hands in a few places. Higher up the path leads us to the main ridge, where some damaged protections assist us. The path then levels out slightly and after a few 10 steps of further walking leads us to the scenic summit.
Along the route: Prevala (2067m), Sedlo (2282m)

Discussion about the trip Nevejski preval - Prestreljenik (via 636)

Yesterday, 15.8.2019 on this trail to Prestreljenik. The 636 is nice and gradual, so we overcome the elevation without excessive effort. Meanwhile thoughts wander to the builders of these trails, how masterfully they routed them over steep slopes, past cirques where snow still lies. When we reach the upper station of the funifor below Golovec, we mix with tourists, of which there are plenty on the holiday of course. Even bigger crowds on the Slovenian side, where well-equipped hikers tackle the new ferrata, while Prestreljenik is mostly climbed by foreign tourists mostly equipped with footwear found in stores under the category "comfortable urban footwear". Well... but it feels good to conquer Prestreljenik in the least cheating way. Regards.
