Planina Polog - Rdeči rob (via Prehodci)

Access to the starting point:
First, go to Tolmin, and from there follow the road in the direction of Zatolmin (leave the main road at the traffic lights). In Zatolmin, you will see the mountain signs for Javorca, which will direct you to the ascending road towards Javorca. After about 8 km of driving, the sometimes quite narrow and sometimes precipitous road leads us to a small crossroads where the road to Javorca branches off to the left upwards. We continue straight ahead, following the road for only about 100 m, where we then park at a suitable place next to the ramp.

Path description:
From the starting point, continue along the dirt road (the road is closed to public traffic), which after a few minutes of easy walking leads to the central part of mountain pasture, where there are a few huts. After mountain pasture, the road gets a little worse, but after a few minutes of further walking, it leads to a crossroads where the path to mountain pasture to Prodih branches off to the right (the access to mountain pasture is very interesting, as you have to cross the river Tolmin, which is facilitated by a hand-carried cable car). Continue straight ahead, and the road eventually turns into cart track and higher up into a well-preserved mulatier. The path then becomes a little steeper and leads past two benches and a higher rocky peak (earthquake in Posočje 1998) to a pasture fence, over which you enter the southern edge of mountain pasture below Osojnica. Just a few metres further on, the path splits into two parts. Continue along the lower right path, which descends gently to the hunting hut at the spring Tolmin.
From the spring Tolmin, continue the folded ascent over the mountain pasture below Osojnica, and the upper path, which is exposed to an active rocky peak, soon joins us from the left.
Continue in the direction of "Planina Prode in Prehodci" along the path which leads to a mighty torrent. Cross the torrent and on the other side continue to the left in the direction of Prehodci (slightly to the right, the Dobrenjščica mountain). Continue climbing along the well-preserved military causeway, which you can leave a few times, as the marked path runs along "shortcuts". The taller bushes and grass are slowly replaced by rubble, and the path turns more and more to the left. A little higher, we reach again the mighty torrential ravine, which here already meets the nearby scree falling from the nearby Maly and Veliki Kuntar.
Here, an unmarked path branches off to the left across a mighty torrent, leading to mountain pasture Laško and on to Rdeči rob and Male peske, while we continue to the right along a marked path that gradually turns into a dense forest. The mulatiera then climbs in numerous serpentines and continues through the forest for some time. Higher up, the forest thins out and the path turns increasingly to the right, where it leads us to views and steep slopes. A small, wide artificial ledge helps us to cross, but it comes in handy when there is still snow on the ledge (the crossing is easy on land). The trail climbs moderately once more and leads us in a few minutes to a marked crossroads at Prehodcih.
Continue left in the direction of Krno (Bogatinsko sedlo and Razor mountain on the right) and follow the gently sloping and scenic route. A little further on, another path from Krnsko jezero joins us from the right, and we continue in the same direction. The way forward leads us out of the plateau area and back onto the steep eastern slopes, from which we have a fine view of the Tolmin side (the area is called Na Tminskem). The path then turns slightly to the right and gradually leads us into a small valley in the high mountains. Here it starts to climb steeply and after about 20 minutes of further walking leads us to a large memorial to the fallen in World War I.
At the monument, the marked path turns sharp right, but we leave it at this point and continue along the path which begins to descend between the monument and Mali Peski (top on the right). The path is less well worn but easy to follow and quickly descends to the foot of Mali Peski, where you reach a long scree slope, over which you cross to the other side, where at the foot of Škofič the path (an old mulatier) joins with the mountain pasture of Lašca. Here, continue right up and follow the clearly visible but completely overgrown mulatier up the slopes of the aforementioned Škofič. Continue climbing along the mulatier for some time, and then, when it is closest to the south, leave it and continue climbing along the pathless world (direction of ascent is south-west) until you reach the ridge between Škofič and the Red Edge. When you reach the ridge, continue left along the initially gently sloping path, which is almost imperceptibly joined from the right by a path over a grassy ridge, which comes with mountain pasture Leskovica or Sleme. The way forward climbs steeply along the edge of the precipitous ridge and leads us to Rdeči rob within 3 minutes of further walking.
We can descend by a shorter route via mountain pasture Lašca.
