Access to the starting point:
Drive into the centre of Bovec, where from the crossroads by the main square continue along the ascending road, which starts to climb past the post office towards the nearby church. Go around the church on the left and then arrive in Kaninsko vas. Bovec then ends, and the road continues westwards for some time. At a small fork, leave the main asphalt road leading to the village Plužna and continue along the road slightly to the right (after the crossroads marked for the Gozdec road). After the nearby farmhouse, the road splits again, and this time we take the road slightly to the left (slightly to the right Zavrzelno and the starting point of the route to Rombon). We continue to climb on the macadam road, which leads us higher up to the B station of the cable car to Kanin. At the B station, the road turns sharp left, and then, after about 1 km of further driving, a cross-country climb brings us to the next crossroads. From this junction, continue to the left or straight on (sharp right mountain pasture Cirque), and follow the road from the junction for a short distance. We soon see signs for Kanin along the road, and we park about 20 metres further on, in a small parking lot by the road.
From the Square of the Pigeon Victims, it is about 9 km to the starting point.
Path description:
From the starting point, go back a few steps and then follow the marked path towards Visoki Kanin and Vrha Laška planje. The trail immediately begins to climb steeply, and mostly leads us through a dense forest, only occasionally opening up some views of the surrounding area. During the ascent, the path leads us under the cliffs of Turno v Skednju (1555 m). When the cliffs end we arrive at an unmarked crossroads where we continue slightly right along the marked path (slightly left unmarked path leading to Veliki Babanski Skedenj 2121 m), which soon climbs steeply over a short steep slope, where there is a greater risk of slipping, especially in the wet. The steepness soon eases and you reach the abandoned mountain pasture Gozdec, which you pass on the right.
We continue to climb through increasingly sparse forest, so that the path opens up some views towards the Bovška basin and the Krn mountains. A fairly steady climb follows, and we, while looking at the walls of the Great Barn, arrive at a small spring located to the right of the path. The trail is also covered with grass, which can be quite wet in the mornings and after the rain. After a while the path turns more to the west and gradually becomes less steep. After a few minutes of scenic ascent, you reach the ruins of the old hut of Peter Skalar, which burnt down in 1972.
Go around the hut on the left and then climb gently to moderately for some time on a more grassy terrain. The path then turns more to the south, where there is a steeper climb, and the path slowly turns to the right, so that it continues mainly westwards. A few minutes of easy walking and you will reach a marked crossroads where you continue to the left, following the Kanin signs, and to the right the path leads to the Petr Skalar House on Kanin.
The path then leads us back to the crossroads with a few short descents and ascents. To the right is another trail to Dom Petra Skalarja, straight ahead or slightly to the right is the trail through the valley of Posledni dol to Visoki Kanin, and we turn left towards Vrh Laška Planja.
From the crossroads, we first climb on mostly grassy terrain where the trail is very poorly visible. The trail then soon turns to the right and continues for some time to the north-west almost parallel to the trail leading to Visoki Kanin. Later the path turns slightly to the left and the terrain becomes rockier. For some time, the path continues along the Kanin foothills, where it is mostly invisible, so you have to pay attention to the markings and signs. In a few places the path also climbs steeply, so you have to use your hands to help you. Later, the path turns slightly to the right and leads us to more rugged terrain along which we climb more steeply. Following this path, we then reach a small notch on the left side of the summit of Turn pod Laško Planjo.
Continue left here and start climbing very steeply on a partly grassy ridge. Considerable caution is needed here, as the climb is very steep and also dangerous for slipping. Continue along the ridge, which becomes slightly less steep and more rocky again. The ridge is then followed all the way to Vrh Laške Planje, which is located on the border between Itali and Slovenia.
The easiest way down is via the ascent route. The summit should be reached in good weather, as orientation in the fog is very difficult.

Discussion about the trail Gozdec - Vrh Laške Planje

V soboto 8.10. sem opravil spust po tej poti z vrha Laške Planje. Po poti čez pode je med markacijami postavljenih tudi precej možicev, ki jim lahko sledimo.
Pred tem sem vzpon naredil po drugi poti in ob tem obiskal še Babanski Skedenj, Veliko Babo in Vrh Žlebi.
Makadamska cesta od Bovca do parkirišča na Gozdecu je že videla boljše čase in je zato treba bolj počasi.
