Bavšica - Briceljk

Access to the starting point:
From the Bovec - Predel road, an asphalted road branches off to the right at the Kluže Fortress into the Bavšice valley. Take the road and follow it in a moderate ascent to the parking lot in Bavšica (the parking lot is located next to the TNP sign).

Path description:
From the parking lot, turn left on the worse road in the direction of the shelter under Špičko and mountain pasture Bala (Bavški Grintavec on the right) and follow it for 5 minutes to the place where the markings direct us left on the initially wide footpath. The path soon narrows and leads to a small crossroads where the markings direct us sharp right, onto a gradually steeper path. The path soon becomes more steep and leads to the abandoned village of Logje (there is drinking water just a few metres off the path).
From the village Logje, continue on the marked path, which continues over a gentle grassy slope. The path then climbs a little steeper and turns into a partly rocky area (scree covered with tall grass). The path then lays down again and turns into a dense forest, where it then continues until it reaches the abandoned mountain pasture Bala.
From mountain pasture continue on the marked path, which then leads through lane of a forest to the last small well along the path. Only a few 10 m after the well we see the hunting lodge Bala, and between the water trough and the hunting lodge, on the left side, we find a nice visible path leading to Briceljk (at the beginning of the path we see a faded sign Briceljk on a tree). Although at the beginning we will see some faded markings (few are also higher), the way forward is not marked.
From the hunting lodge, the trail passes into a dense forest and, with the exception of the initial gently sloping part, climbs quite steeply. Higher up, the path turns slightly to the left and passes out of the forest onto steep slopes covered with tall grass, over which you climb on an occasionally less visible path. Very steep and especially dangerous for slipping in wet conditions, the path crosses a short lane of forest a few more times higher up, then gently flattens out and enters the valley of Med vrhovi (valley west of Stador (2015 m)). The higher tall grasses are gradually replaced by stones, and the path turns quite a bit to the left at a small, indistinct pass and enters a scree field, where the path briefly disappears completely for a short time. Over the scree we continue towards the valley headland, then the path is halted by a short jump over which we climb over broken rocks. The jump ends with a short exposed steel cable, then the path turns to steep grassy slopes, where it turns slightly further to the left. The path ahead leads through an undistinguished valley, which is climbed in a few minutes to a steep chute covered with snow long into the summer. It is usually possible to cross the chute in midsummer at a local crack, where you can climb along the broken rocks to the top of the chute (due to the steepness of the chute, there is a high risk of falling rocks). At the top of the chute, continue to the right and after a few minutes of further walking, you will reach the highest peak of the Loška Stena.
