Cave del Mole - Viš/Jof Fuart

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). Near the bottom station of the cargo cableway, you will see signs directing you right into the forest along the 'German path' (sentiero dei tedeschi). At first the path descends a little, then turns right and crosses a few torrents. The path then starts to climb through the wods and later through the dwarf pines. Increasingly, we also get beautiful views, especially towards Viška planina below us and towards Rombon and Črnelská špci. There are also a few cliffs on the way, but the path is not to difficult in any part. More caution is needed, especially when there are snowbanks on the route. Soon we see the Corsi hut ahead and when we come out of dwarf pines we follow the grassy slope to the hut for only a few metres.

From the hut continue northwards, where you start to climb on partly grassy and partly rocky terrain. The trail then leads to a crossroads, where you turn left onto trail 627, and right onto trail 625, which leads towards the Krnicka Stump (Italian: Forcella del Vallone) and onwards towards the Gorizia bivouac. After a short climb, you come to a crossroads where you go left again (direction Jof Fuart), and to the right is route 627 towards the Trbica notch (Forcella di Riofreddo). The route then turns slightly to the left and leads you to the entrance of a slightly more difficult part of the trail. Here the trail turns right uphill and some easy rock climbing is required. The path then turns slightly to the right and leads us to the slightly more difficult part of the route again. Here the path turns left uphill and starts to climb along the steel cable. There is a slightly low passage through a window and then a climb back up along the steel cable. The path then leads to a crossroads where the Anita Goitan path joins us from the right from the precipitous ledges. After a short climb, you come to a crossroads again, where you go right and the Anita Goitan trail branches off to the left. There follows a moderately steep climb on rocky and somewhat cobbly terrain. Just below the summit, the northeastern Gola Nordest trail joins from the right. From here it is just a short climb to a very scenic summit.
