Soča - Planina nad Sočo

Access to starting point:
From Trenta or Bovec, drive to the village of Soča, where you notice the church by the road. The start of the hiking trail is 200-300m from the church towards Trenta, where you see signposts and a small parking lot for 2-3 cars by the road.

Route description:
From the church in the village of Soča, continue along the main road towards Trenta. After a little more than 200 meters, reach a small chapel, in front of which you notice red alpine direction signs directing you left uphill towards Bavški Grintavec. The path immediately begins to climb steeply through the forest and in the first part mostly traverses to the right. Higher up, reach a junction and continue left on the marked path. Just a few minutes later, step out of the forest onto partially overgrown meadows of the once extremely picturesque but now abandoned hamlet Lemovje, which with its old houses and ruins today more resembles a mountain pasture.
Here, a path joins from the right from the hamlet V Klancu (path past the Žot farm), but continue slightly left following the signs for Bavški Grintavec. On this section, first walk along the edge of the meadow, then approach an overgrown gully (a small spring is located here, but it often dries up in dry periods). The path soon turns right and then climbs steeply again through the forest and partly over steep grassy slopes. Higher up, the path turns slightly left, and the gradient eases. Followed by traversing steep, mostly southern slopes of the peak Kol (1924 m), leading to Planina nad Sočo, where a hunting hut stands.
