Tolminske Ravne - Vrh nad Peski

Access to starting point:
We drive to Tolmin, then continue driving towards 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 we cross Zadlaščica over a bridge, then again starts ascending 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 signposts, which we follow in the direction of the mountain hut Koča na planini Razor and mountain pasture Planina Kal. The path ahead first leads over a grazing fence, then we continue on a cart track which continues through a 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 cross a torrent. Soon we reach 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 Planina Kal and Tolminski Migovec.
The old mule track further continues for some time beside or slightly right of the nearby torrent, then at the smaller cairn from the mule track a path branches off slightly to the left which continues beside the torrent and leads further towards the saddle between peak Javor on the left and Grušnica on the right, while we stick to the mule track.
Higher we reach the next marked junction, where another path towards Planina Razor branches off to the right, and we continue left and for a short time continue in only a gentle ascent. One or two minutes further we leave the gentle path and continue slightly right in the direction of Planina na Kalu (straight 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 to 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 on the mule track all the way to Planina na Kalu, where to the right of a smaller saddle some old cottages stand.
At the cottages where another path from Planina Razor joins us we ascend slightly and quickly reach a 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 on the mule track. The path becomes gentler 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 Matera Božja Hud Klanec beside 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 gently descends and crosses slopes which 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 Planina Dobrenjščica we reach a junction.
At the junction we continue straight on the marked path where the signs direct us to Prehodci and Krn. To the left downward an unmarked mule track leads to the nearby Planina Dobrenjščica. Our path here descends somewhat on a steeper slope and on a short section a steel cable assists us. Such a path then soon rejoins the mule track which leads past Planina Dobrenjščica.
Further we again cross slopes and the path leads past a junction where to the left downward a path branches off to the nearby spring Čaramonka. Further we cross slopes, along the path dwarf pines and shorter strips of forest alternate. When we reach steeper slopes on the southwest side of Mahavšček, the path starts to ascend more steeply. Occasionally the slope is very steep and at some points a steel cable assists us. The path otherwise runs along a mostly relatively wide mule track, so the ascent does not cause major difficulties. Higher the slope becomes less steep and the path leads us for a short time again through a strip of forest, then mostly runs beside dwarf pines. Such a path then brings us to a marked junction where to the right a path branches off towards Dom na Komni.
We continue left towards Prehodci and from the junction the path first ascends more steeply for a short time. Further the path becomes gentler and leads us further mostly beside dwarf pines all the way to Prehodci where there is a marked junction.
We continue straight in the direction of Krn (left Planina Polog) and continue on a gentle and scenic path. Somewhat further another path from Krnsko jezero joins us from the right, and we continue further in the same direction. The path ahead brings us from the plateau-like terrain again onto steep eastern slopes, from which a nice view opens up onto the Tolmin side (the area is called Na Tminskem). The path then turns somewhat to the right and gradually brings us into a smaller high-alpine valley. Here it starts to ascend more steeply and after approximately 20 minutes of further walking brings us to a large monument to the fallen in World War I.
Here we continue right on the marked path, which ascends transversely at the foot of Mali Peski. Higher the path brings us to numerous remnants of World War I, then ascends slightly further and brings us to the saddle between Mali Peski and Vrh nad Peski (slightly further right are Veliki Peski). We continue on the marked path, from which soon to the right an unmarked path to Vrh nad Peski branches off (direction "V. Peski"). The path ahead ascends in a few minutes to a smaller grassy saddle, then continues on an increasingly scenic and occasionally quite steep path. We follow this scenic and relatively steep path all the way to Vrh nad Peski, which we reach after a few minutes of further walking.
