Tolminske Ravne - Vrh Planje (above Globoko) (on mule track)

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 to the 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 head onto 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 junction, where we continue on the lower right cart track (slightly left: Planina na Kalu).
Further on, we walk on a cart track which slightly descends towards the right, then flattens and for a few minutes continues without major changes in altitude. After the concrete trough the path once again splits, and we choose the lower gentle path (slightly left: steep path), which continues on a wide cart track. A little further ahead, after crossing the grazing fence, the cart track changes into a mule track, from which we soon go slightly left onto a marked footpath which cuts a longer bend of the mule track. After a few minutes of ascent we return to the mule track, which we reach right at a smaller junction. We choose the upper right path, which ascends diagonally towards the right and soon turns sharply to the left. Further on, we ascend gently to moderately on the mule track, which leads us diagonally towards the left, gradually transitioning to fairly steep slopes, where the passage is not demanding because the path is quite wide all the time. When the higher slope flattens, the mule track turns slightly to the right and brings us out of the forest onto the southwestern part of the Planina Razor. From here follows a short moderate ascent and the path brings us to the cheese cottage and about a minute further to the Koča na planini Razor.
From the hut we continue in the direction of Globoko, Vogel, Vrh nad Škrbino... on the path which crosses a belt of forest, then splits on a gentle grassy slope.
From the junction we continue right (straight: Vrh nad Škrbino and Dom na Komni) and begin to ascend moderately. The path quickly returns into the forest and brings us to the next junction.
From the junction 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 belts of scrub or dwarf pines, then gradually transitions to steeper, mostly grassy slopes. Ahead the path ascends moderately in a few zigzags, then follows a somewhat longer diagonal ascent towards the right. Here the slope gradually becomes steeper, and the path, which continues on the mule track, brings us higher to an old concrete bunker, a little further to a smaller emergency bivouac in which there are some benches. From the bivouac follows a few minutes of panoramic ascent, then we reach the main ridge of the Spodnje Bohinjske gore at the pass Globoko.
Here we leave the marked path and continue left on an unmarked path, on which in a minute or two we ascend to Vrh Planje.
