Tam na Meji - Rifugio A.N.A. Monteaperta

Access to starting point:
From the Kobarid – Bovec road in the village Žaga we turn towards the border crossing Učja. On the Italian side at the intersection where the road branches right towards the Karnica saddle and Resia, we continue left or straight in the direction of the town Videm/Udine. When the road crosses Beli potok / Rio Bianco, we follow it for a few hundred meters, then the road levels out and on the right side we notice a larger building. On the right where a short road branches off we park. We do not park in front of the mentioned private building where it is marked that parking is prohibited. The starting point is located less than a kilometer before the pass Tam na Meji / Passo Tanamea.

Route description:
Near the starting point we will notice signposts for trail no. 711 which we follow. First we cross the road and head onto the cart track closed to traffic. We continue along the gentle cart track which we follow for about 200 meters then turn onto the left cart track along which the markings continue. When we come near the stream Meja (Torrente Mea) we continue right, then soon cross the stream and reach a junction.
Right along the stream the circular path Percorso Fuori continues, but we turn onto the left cart track along which we can already see signposts and information boards. At the signposts we continue straight towards the shelter Ricovero ANA and the Križ saddle. Here the path turns into the forest and first leads past the dilapidated hut Casera di Menon. For a short time we still follow the poorer cart track which crosses the torrent bed and brings us to a junction. Here we leave the cart track and turn left onto the narrower path marked Rifugio ANA.
For some time we then climb quite steeply through the forest, then reach a marked junction. Straight ahead the path continues towards the Križ saddle (Sella Kriz), but we turn sharply left towards the hut Rifugio ANA.
From the junction the path becomes somewhat less steep and runs eastward. The path then brings us to a junction where the path marked with blue dots leads up to the right, but we continue straight ahead and follow the usual red-white markings. For some time we still cross slopes eastward, then reach signposts where the path turns decisively right. At this point there is also a less visible junction, as straight ahead an unmarked path continues.
We continue on the marked path which again starts to climb somewhat more steeply. Here we climb through a forest with many rocks, so the trail is occasionally somewhat less obvious. However there are many markings along the path so there are no major orientation problems. We climb through the forest for some more time, then the path brings us to slopes mostly covered with grass and shrubs. Here beautiful views of the surrounding peaks start to open up. Such a path soon brings us to the hut Rifugio A.N.A Monteaperta or in Slovenian Zavetišče Viškoroša.

We recommend: trips from the same starting point, similar trips
