Access to starting point:
We drive to Tolmin, and then we continue driving in the direction of Žabče and Zadlaz (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 for some time descends, where we over a bridge crosses Zadlaščica, and then again starts ascending steeply on narrow, but all the time asphalt 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 is slightly descending towards the right, and then it flattens and few minutes continues without large changes in altitude. After concrete trough path once again splits, and we choose the left steep path (path which continues straight also leads to the mountain pasture Razor, but the path is longer, but technically undemanding).
The path ahead again starts ascending, and it is ascending mostly towards the right, only here and there makes few hairpin turns. Higher, we pass over on steeper slopes, and a little further on exposed, but except first few steps, well-secured ledge. When the crossing ends path for some time returns into the forest, through which ascends steeper, and then we step out of the forest and the path flattens. From here follows few more minutes of walking with nice views on mountains, which are rising above the river basin of Zadlaščica and the path past 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 lane of a forest and then on a gentle grassy slope splits.
This time we continue straight in the direction of Vrh nad Škrbino and Dom na Komni (right Vogel, Globoko and Črna prst), on the path which turns slightly towards the left and is further ascending on with dwarf pines vegetated slope. After few minutes, the path for some time flattens, and then north from indistinct peak Kopecko, after a shorter moderate ascent brings us to the next crossing, where we continue right in the direction of Vrh nad Škrbino (on the left path we get to the notch Škrbina, and from there we can continue towards Tolminski Kuk, Bohinj or Vrh nad Škrbino on a very demanding path).
The path ahead is at first slightly to moderately ascending through dwarf pines and turns a little towards the left. When we leave dwarf pines, we are for a short time moderately ascending, and the path leads us diagonally on a grassy slope, only a little below the ridge. Next follows traversing of some smaller scree, and the path then turns right and starts quite steeply ascending on a grassy slope. On steep grassy slopes we are ascending all the way until we reach the ridge and there joins the very demanding path from the notch Škrbina.
Here we go right and with nice views, we quickly reach the peak.
