Breginj - Stol (Julian Alps)

Access to the starting point:
First, drive to the Kobarid centre, then continue to the Robič border crossing. Near the village of Staro selo, leave the main road leading to the Robič border crossing and turn right towards Breginj. Follow the main ascending road to Breginj, where you park in the parking lot near the church.

Path description:
From the parking lot, continue past the church (just go around it on the right) and continue up the asphalted road towards Stol and Muzco. The road first climbs through the village, and we follow it in the familiar direction at the junctions. Higher up, the road loses its asphalt coating and leads us past an old mill to a marked crossroads, where we continue slightly to the right (to the left, the Church of Our Lady of the Snows). The road, which continues to climb moderately, soon leads us to a marked crossroads, where the marked footpath to Musc branches off to the left.
Continue in the direction of Stol and continue the ascent on the macadam road, which soon leads to the next marked crossroads. Continue right again in the direction of Stol and Svete Marjeta (left Muzec) along the initially folded road ahead. After a few minutes of further walking, the markings direct us to the left on a marked footpath, which crosses the aforementioned forest road several times higher up. The footpath (or road), which begins to climb steeply, is then followed all the way to the church of St Marjeta (973 m).
From the church, continue along the steep footpath, which quickly leads out of the forest and onto the grassy slopes. Once out of the woods, a wonderful view of the Breginj angle and the peaks surrounding it opens up. The path then passes onto an undistinguished side ridge, which is then climbed steeply. Higher up, the path leads to an unmarked crossroads, where we continue straight on (left slightly down the cross path to Klatnica) and continue our ascent along the familiar unmarked ridge. The path from which we can enjoy increasingly beautiful views of the Adriatic Sea, Punta di Montemaggiore and the Muzcev ridge, climbs even steeper, then turns slightly to the right, where it crosses very steep and, especially in the wet, dangerous slopes for slipping. The trail then gently slopes down to the main ridge of the longest ridge in Julian Alps (the ridge is about 30 km long).
Once on the ridge, continue to the right (Muzec on the left) and climb the very scenic ridge. The trail, which first gently descends and offers beautiful views of the Kanin massif, climbs steeply a few times for a short time and after about 15 minutes of further walking leads us to the top of Stol.
