Access to the starting point:
From Kranjska Gora, take the Rateče border crossing to Trbiz/Tarvisio. In Trbiz, turn left towards Bovec and follow the road to the crossroads near Lake Rabeljsko. Here, turn right in the direction of the Nevea Pass/Sella Nevea. Follow this road, which is mostly ascending, to where a macadam road forks off to the right. At the turn-off there is a monument with a cross and a signpost on a tree with the inscription "Corsi". Follow the dirt road for a few more bends, then park in the roadside parking lot shortly before the barrier.
From Bovec, drive to the Predel border crossing, from which you descend to the Italian side. Just after Lake Rabelj, you will reach a crossroads, where you turn left towards Nevejeski Prevala/Sella Nevea. Continue as described above.
Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the macadam road, which starts to climb in the keys. The road passes through a forest, so there is little view. Only occasionally do we get a view to the south and south-east. The road then turns left and begins to climb steeply northwards. A steep paved road then leads out of the forest to Viška planina (1530m).
At the bottom station of the cargo cableway, turn left and follow the road leading over mountain pasture. At the end of mountain pasture, signs then direct you to a footpath which initially climbs through the forest before leading you out of the forest and back onto the grassy slopes. Here the path turns right and runs northwards, soon leading to dwarf pines. Through dwarf pines we then start to climb a little steeper again and the view is getting better. Later, the path leads us out of dwarf pines and there is a shorter climb to a crossroads where we join route 625, which leads from the Nevejski saddle to the Corsi hut. At the crossroads, turn right and the relatively wide path then leads under overhanging walls and past some WWI military tunnels. It is then just a short descent on grassy terrain to the Corsi hut.
