Avsa - Monte Mataiur/Matajur

Access to the starting point:
From the Kobarid - Tolmin road, the asphalted road to the village of Livek branches off to the right (or left in the opposite direction) in the village of Idrsko. Take this road and follow it to Livek village. Here turn right up towards the village Avsa. Continue to the beginning of the village Avsa, where you will see signs for Monte Mataiur on the right. Park in a suitable space near a small crossroads (parking in or at the crossroads is not allowed).

Path description:
From the parking lot, turn right onto a minor road, which soon turns into cart track. Cart track then starts to climb moderately, passing a large number of dilapidated bytes in the process. Cart track then becomes a footpath which climbs steeply for a short time, crossing a grazing fence in the process. The steepness then gradually subsides and the path leads along a less and less vegetated slope. The path then leads to a forest road, where a road branches off to the right downhill to a shepherd's hut at Idrsko mountain pasture.
Continue straight ahead to the top of mountain pasture along a path which offers increasingly beautiful views. A little further on, the road leads us to a crossroads where we continue straight on and immediately afterwards, on the left-hand side of the road, we see a hut called Konjarska guta. It is only a few steps uphill.
From the hut at mountain pasture continue towards Monte Mataiur. After a few dozen steps, the path leads to signs along the way. Leave the forest road here and turn right onto the footpath towards Monte Mataiur. The path descends for a short time and after a few minutes leads us back to the forest road, where we continue to the right. Follow the wide, partly grassy road ahead. After a few minutes' walk along the road, just beyond the water trough, which is visible by the roadside, the footpath to Monte Mataiur branches off to the right upwards. Take this path, which climbs a slightly overgrown slope. A little further on, the path climbs some interesting smooth rock slabs and then crosses the forest road again. The path continues to climb moderately, passing a small spring which dries up on dry days. Just a little further on, we come to a crossroads where we join the path from the village of Svino.
Continue straight ahead and the path, which climbs moderately, then soon leads us to the next signposts, where we continue left upwards in the direction of Monte Mataiur. A few steps further on, you will reach the border ridge between Slovenia and Itali. Here the path turns right and continues to climb along a wide gently sloping ridge. Follow this path, which leads us through increasingly beautiful views, to the top of Monte Mataiur, which we can already see in front of us. Avsa - Idrska planina 1:10, Idrska planina - Matajur 1:20.
