Tolminske Ravne - Planina Dobrenjščica

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

Path description:
From the parking lot, we return a few steps back to the red mountain direction signs, which we follow in the direction of the mountain hut Koča na planini Razor and mountain pasture Planina Kal. The path ahead first leads us over a grazing fence, then we continue on the cart track, which continues across the meadow, from which a nice view opens up on Tolminski Migovec. The cart track soon turns right and brings us to a stone fence, where it splits into two parts.
We continue on the left upper cart track in the direction of the mountain pasture Planina na Kalu (slightly right Koča na planini Razor), which then ascends gently. A little higher, at the older water trough we continue right, then we cross the torrent. Soon we arrive at the next junction, where the path to Škrbina branches off to the right, and we continue on the left cart track, following the signs for mountain pasture Kal and Tolminski Migovec.
The old mule track continues for some time along or slightly right of the nearby torrent, then at the smaller cairn a path branches off slightly to the left from the mule track, which continues along the torrent and leads further towards the saddle between peak Javor on the left and Grušnica on the right, while we continue to stick to the mule track.
Higher we reach the next marked junction, where another path towards mountain pasture Razor branches off to the right, and we continue left and for a short time continue in only a gentle ascent. A minute or two further we leave the gentle path and continue slightly right in the direction of the mountain pasture Planina na Kalu (straight ahead we arrive at the aforementioned saddle, from which we can continue to Javor or to the village Čadrg, in between there is also another turn-off towards mountain pasture Planina na Kalu). After a shorter somewhat steeper ascent we return to the mule track, where we also join the path from Čadrg.
We continue right and ascend along the mule track all the way to mountain pasture Planina na Kalu, where to the right of a smaller saddle some old huts stand.
At the huts, where another path from mountain pasture Razor joins us, we ascend slightly and quickly reach the marked junction, where the path to Tolminski Migovec branches off to the right. We continue left in the direction of Prehodci and Krn and further walk along the mule track. The path becomes flatter and runs towards the north, from the path we have a nice view towards the Tolminka valley. The path then brings us to steeper slopes on the southwest side of Tolminski Kuk and at some points fixed safety gear assists us. The fixed safety gear ends and the path brings us to the chapel of Mother of God Hud Klanec, next to which there is also a bench. From here there is also a wonderful view of the Tolminka valley and the peaks above the valley. At the chapel there is also a logbook box and a stamp.
From the chapel onwards the slope becomes somewhat less steep and the path mostly descends gently and crosses slopes that are mostly covered with dwarf pines towards the northwest. Later the path starts to descend even more in longer zigzags and also leads us through a strip of forest. A little before mountain pasture Dobrenjščica we reach a junction.
Straight ahead a marked path leads, bypassing the mentioned mountain pasture, while we continue left on the wide unmarked path, which first descends slightly then brings us to the hunting hut on mountain pasture Dobrenjščica, from where a nice view also opens up on the surrounding peaks above the Tolminka valley.
