Access to the starting point:
From Tolmin or Bovec, take the road to Kobarid, and from there follow the road towards Drežnica (the road branches off from the Kobarid bypass). Continue over the bridge over the Soča River and immediately after the bridge turn left in the direction of Drežnica. Follow this mostly ascending road to the centre of Drežnica, where turn right and continue to the primary school, which is the starting point of our route.
Path description:
From the parking lot, head past the chapel and the primary school on the marked path to Krn. The trail continues through the forest and then along the pasture to the Triglav National Park sign. Here we join the road (the road from Drežnica) and we continue on the marked trail, which crosses the stream Ročica a little higher, and we arrive at a marked crossroads, where we continue to the right in the direction of the easier trail to Krn (on the left bivouac and a very difficult trail to Krn).
The way forward passes through the forest and is well marked throughout. Higher up, the unmarked path from Podbrdo joins us from the right, and we continue to the left here and gradually start climbing in the keys. We climb relatively steeply for a while, then reach a small clearing where a hunting lodge stands.
From the hunting lodge onwards, the path begins to climb under the slopes of Kožljak (1587 m) and soon turns slightly to the left. Higher up, the path leads us out of the forest and beautiful views of Drežnica and Krasji vrh (1773 m) open up. Further on, the path crosses quite steep slopes for some time, then turns slightly to the right and joins the path with mountain pasture Kuhinja.
Here, continue left in the direction of Krno and follow the old military causeway, which climbs in switchbacks along an indistinct ridge. The very scenic route, which continues along the edge of the vast grassy slopes of the Krno, is getting closer and closer to the Gomišček shelter, which has been visible for some time. The higher grassy slope is gradually replaced by stones, and the moderately steep path only leads us to the aforementioned shelter, where we are joined on the left by the path of Silva Koren.
We can extend the trip to the following destinations: Krn
