Access to the starting point:
a) First drive to Kranjska Gora, then continue to Rateče and on to Itali. Continue towards Trbiž / Tarvisio, and a little after the road to Lake Belopezi / Lago di Fusine, the road to the village of Ahlete / Aclete turns off to the left. Continue on the above-mentioned road, which leads past a few more houses and then climbs up to the village of Ahlete, where the route described above begins. There are no parking spaces in the village.
b) Via Border crossing Predel, drive into Itali, then continue to Trbiž / Tarvisio and on to Rateci. At Bela Ofen / Villa Bassa, the road turns right towards Ahlete / Aclete. Continue on the above-mentioned road, which leads past a few more houses and then climbs up to the village of Ahlete, where the route described above begins. There are no parking spaces in the village.
Path description:
Continue through the village, then follow the signs for the lake at the crossroads. The road becomes gravel higher up and turns into a forest, where it becomes a lay-by. There are a few more crossroads, and we are still following the signs for the lake, but the signs are mostly in three languages, Italian, German and Slovenian, with only a few in Italian here and there. The road we are on generally heads east, but as it turns more to the north, it also starts to visibly descend. A little further on, leave the road and continue left in the route Spodnje Mangartsko jezero (this sign has English instead of Slovenian). There is a short descent, and then the forest path continues without any major changes in elevation. Continue past Malo jezero / Lago Piccolo and Majceno jezero / Lago Piccolissimo, then descend to Lower Mangart Lake.
