Tolminske Ravne - Koča na planini Razor (steep path)

Access to starting point:
We drive to Tolmin, and then we continue driving in the direction of Žabče and Zadlaz (the turn-off from the main road is located on the left bank of Tolminka). When we get to Žabče, at the smaller crossroads we continue slightly right in the direction of the settlement Zadlaz. In the settlement Zadlaz-Žabče the road temporarily descends, where we cross Zadlaščica over a bridge, and then it again starts ascending steeply on a narrow but all the time asphalted road. After approximately 12 km from the main road we get to the marked parking lot in Tolminske Ravne, where we park.

Path description:
From the parking lot, we go on the path in the direction of the mountain hut Koča na planini Razor and mountain pasture Planina na Kalu. At first, we walk on a cart track which continues from the nearby house and leads us through a scenic meadow. On the other side of the meadow, we cross a grazing fence and the path brings us to a marked junction, where we continue on the lower right cart track (slightly left mountain pasture Planina na Kalu).
Further, we walk on a cart track which slightly descends towards the right, then it flattens and continues for a few minutes without major changes in altitude. After the concrete trough the path once again splits, and we choose the left steep path (the path which continues straight also leads to the mountain pasture Razor, but it is longer and technically undemanding).
The path ahead again starts ascending, ascending mostly towards the right, only here and there making a few hairpin turns. Higher, we pass onto steeper slopes, a little further on an exposed but, except for the first few steps, well-secured ledge. When the crossing ends the path temporarily returns into the forest, through which it ascends more steeply, then we step out of the forest and the path flattens. From here follow a few more minutes of walking with nice views of the mountains which rise above the basin of Zadlaščica, and the path past the cheese cottage brings us to the mountain hut Koča na planini Razor.
Description and pictures refer to the condition in the year 2016 (July).
