Žabnice / Camporosso in Valcanale - Svete Višarje / Monte Lussari

Access to starting point:
Via the border crossing Rateče or the border crossing Predel we drive to Trbiž / Tarvisio, then we continue driving in the direction of Vidma / Udine and the settlement Žabnice / Camporosso in Valcanale. When Trbiž ends, just a little after the Eurospar store (the store is located on the right side of the road), still before the main roundabout, we turn left onto Via Lussari street. We drive a few 100 meters along the mentioned street, then we arrive at a smaller intersection, from the intersection we continue straight and after the intersection we park on the parking lot on the right side of the road. We park on the lower part of the parking lot, on the upper part parking is prohibited by a traffic sign.

Path description:
From the starting point, we continue on the asphalt road closed to public traffic, which leads us past a few more houses. Above the hamlet, the path leads past an information board, then the asphalt ends. We continue on a macadam road which leads us through Višarski graben, through which the stream Rio Lussari flows. Higher up, the road changes into a wide cart track, and beside it the Stations of the Cross appear.
We continue ascending for some time on the cart track, from which we occasionally get some views in the direction of the Carnic Alps, where we can clearly see Ojstrnik. Higher up, from the cart track we turn right onto the marked footpath in the direction of Kamnitega lovca / Cima del Cacciatore and Svetih Višarij / Monte Lussari (straight along the cart track to Višarska planina / Malga di Lussari). This is followed by an ascent through the forest; at the XIII. Station of the Cross we approach the ski slope and service road completely.
We continue right on the footpath (via the road we can ascend to Višarsko sedlo / Sella Lussari and further to Kamniti lovec) and ascend diagonally. Below the cable car we continue left, then we follow the signs for Svete Višarje. A little further on, the wide path is protected by a fence, and increasingly beautiful views open up for us on the western Julian Alps, where the highest is Montaž. When we bypass Beračni kugel / Monte Prasnig on the left side (the peak to which the cable car leads), we descend to the road in a few steps, along which we continue all the way to the hamlet and the church on Svetih Višarjah.
From the church, in a minute or two we also ascend to the summit of Svetih Višarij, where a cross stands and from which a beautiful view opens up for us.
The description and pictures refer to the condition in 2017 (July).
