Fusine Laghi - Ofen/Peč

Access to the starting point:
First we drive to Kranjska Gora, then continue to Rateče and on to Itali. After crossing the national border, drive along the main road for only 500 m, and then you will see the mountain signs for "Monte Forno and Bivio M. Cavallar" along the roadside. Here, turn right onto a minor dirt road, and park at a suitable roadside parking spot about 50 m further on.

Path description:
From the starting point, continue along the deteriorating road, which quickly leads to moderately steep hay fields. Cross the hay meadows on the marked cart track and follow the mostly cross-climb to the right. At first there are fine views of Julian Alps, but then the path passes into the forest and turns left. Continuing north-westwards, the path follows an old dirt track, which joins the dirt road higher up. Once on the road, take a sharp right and it climbs a small pass, after which the road branches off to the left towards the summit of Cavalar (aka Cavalarka) / Monte Cavallar, and we continue straight ahead on the road, which begins to descend gently. We descend for some time, and there are numerous warnings along the road not to leave the road, otherwise you are trespassing on private property. After a short descent, the road to Maria Schnee below Gozman / Madonna della Neve (signposted Maria im Schnee) first turns off to the left, and a few metres further on, the road to Monte Coppa (1497 m) turns off to the right. In both cases, we continue straight on, and we descend a little further down the road to the next crossroads, at which there is a water trough and a mountain signpost.
Here we continue slightly to the right and, passing a bunker from the time of the Rapallo border, climb a little higher, to a place where the signs for Ofen (German Dreiländereck on the sign) direct us to the right on a moderately steep cart track, which we climb in a few minutes to a bivouac without boundaries (sign on the bivouac - Senza Confini Hütte).
From the bivouac, the path continues straight ahead, joining the Slovenian trail higher up (steep footpath), while we continue left into the forest, first climbing up the old military road and then following a parallel but rather steep mountain path. Higher up, the path bends and leads to an undistinguished ridge, which we climb up to a pasture fence. Cross the fence, then follow it to the right to the nearby summit, which offers a beautiful view, especially towards Austria. To get a view of Julian Alps, you have to descend a little on the Slovenian side.
