Dom v Lepeni - Lanževica (via Velika Baba)

Access to the starting point:
Between Trenta and Bovec, the road to Lepena branches off at the village of Soča. Follow this road, which is completely asphalted, to the parking area of the Dr. Klement Hugo House in Lepena.

Path description:
From the Home of Dr Klement Hugo in Lepena, follow the path towards Dom pri Krnskih jezerih, Gomiščkovo zavetišče na Krnu and the Dom na Komni. Right from the parking lot, the trail turns into a forest, through which it climbs on a wide mulatier. The mulatier is mostly a moderate ascent (the steep ascent in the lower part has been out of use for some time) through the forest, with only occasional views of the valley and the surrounding mountains. During the ascent, we also cross the route of a cargo cableway several times, which is forbidden to cross when the cableway is not in operation. After a good hour and a half of walking, the trail lays down and leads us just a little further to the top station of the cargo cableway.
From here on, the path leads along the edge of a small valley, and quickly leads to the place where the snow cover is measured every April. There is a short descent and then we arrive at a marked crossroads where we leave the wide path leading to the Lodge at Krnsko jezero and Krnsko jezero and continue slightly left towards Velika Baba.
From the crossroads continue for a short time without any significant change in altitude, but when the path from Dom pri Krnskih jezerih joins us from the right, continue left and begin to climb, first gently and then moderately. When the forest ends a little further on, we get a nice view of the walls from Kaludra to Velika Baba. For a few minutes we continue to climb relatively gently at the foot of the already overgrown scree, then the path turns right and starts to climb a little more, crossing the slopes to the right. During the cross-climb, which in some places is also exposed to falling rocks, we get increasingly beautiful views of Veliki Šmohor, Krn, Lemež, Debeljak, higher up also Kanin, and below us we can see Lake Dupeljsko and the Dom pri Krnskih jezeri. . . Higher up, the trail climbs over a small scree slope below Zelena notch, and then gradually arrives in the valley between Velika Baba on the left and Velika Montura on the right. After a few minutes' ascent through the valley, you will reach a crossroads where the marked path to Velika Baba turns left, and the straight path to Velika Montura leads straight ahead, and you can also reach the valley of Za Lepočami and the Bogatin saddle.
Continue on the marked trail towards Velika Baba, descending gently at first and then beginning to climb the gradually steeper slopes of Velika Baba. At a higher altitude, the east ridge of Velika Baba is reached, and at this point we leave the marked path leading to the summit, 10 minutes away, and continue to the right along an unmarked but traceable path which goes from the ridge to slopes partly covered with dwarf pines. During the crossing, the slopes of Predolina are crossed and, when the ridge connecting Predolina and Velika Montura is reached, a crossroads of unmarked paths is reached. Continue left (right Velika Montura and valley Za Lepočami) and continue crossing Predoline. After the crossing, you reach an indistinct ridge, along and over which you continue with some short ascents and descents. As we approach the top slope of Lanževica, the track begins to disappear and we start to climb steeply up the easier trackless slope towards the top of Lanževica, which is reached after about 20 minutes of further walking.
