Tolminske Ravne - Vrh Krnic (steep path and via Globoko)

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 crossroad 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 panoramic meadow. On the other side of the meadow, we cross a grazing fence and the path brings us to a marked crossing, 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 for a few minutes continues without large 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, though 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 follows a few more minutes of walking with nice views on the mountains rising above the basin of Zadlaščica and the path past the cheese cottage brings us to the mountain hut Koča na planini Razor.
From the mountain hut we continue in the direction of Globoko, Vogel, Vrh nad Škrbino... on the path which crosses a strip of forest, then on a gentle grassy slope splits.
From the crossing, we continue right (straight Vrh nad Škrbino and Dom na Komni) and start moderately ascending. The path quickly returns into the forest and brings us to the next crossing.
From the crossing, we continue left in the direction of Globoko (slightly right Vogel) on the path which quickly brings us out of the forest. When we step out of the forest we ascend on a mule track, which at first occasionally leads through strips of bushes or dwarf pines, then gradually transitions to steeper, mostly grassy slopes. The path ahead moderately ascends in a few zigzags, then a somewhat longer diagonal ascent towards the right follows. Here the slope gradually becomes steeper, and the path, continuing on the mule track, brings us higher to an old concrete bunker, a little further also to a smaller emergency bivouac in which some benches are located. From the bivouac a few minutes of panoramic ascent follow, then we reach the main ridge of the Spodnje Bohinjske gore on the saddle Globoko.
From Globoko we descend to the Bohinj side on the path which is well arranged with logs, so the descent causes no problems, a little lower a steel cable also helps us (undemanding). After a few minutes of descent we arrive at a marked crossing, where we continue right in the direction of Vogel (left Konjsko sedlo and Komna, straight down we can descend to Žagarjev graben or to mountain pasture Zadnji Vogel).
After the crossing, we descend diagonally across an initially steep slope, then the path leads us diagonally to the left. Behind the smaller saddle, in a few steps we descend to the next crossing, where we continue right upwards on the path in the direction of Vogel (straight ski slope Vogel, Šija...). A short somewhat steeper ascent follows, then from the left another path from the ski slope Vogel joins us. Here too we continue right, then in a few steps we step again onto the ridge of Spodnje Bohinjske gore, where we once again continue right on an unmarked path towards Vrh Krnic (left Vogel 10 minutes).
From the crossing a short ascent on a technically undemanding ridge follows and the path brings us to the panoramic peak Vrh Krnic.
