Access to the starting point:
From the Bača pri Modreju - Podbrdo road, in the Kneža settlement, turn onto the road in the direction of Kneške Ravenske. Continue up the road, which continues along the valley of the Kneža stream. Initially quite slippery and partly macadam, the road climbs steeply higher up, and on the steep part the road is mostly asphalted. Higher up, the road splits, and we take the slightly left road, which is still asphalted and leads to Kneške Ravne (slightly right, a dirt road leading in the direction of mountain pasture in Prodih). We cross the picturesque Prošček stream, and then climb quickly to the parking lot in front of Kneške Ravne, where we park.
Path description:
From the parking lot, where there is an information board about Kneške Raven and the surrounding area, continue uphill, and at the first crossroads, by the NOB (National Liberation) memorial, go straight ahead (on the left, the homestead at Jakop and the homestead at Jakln). The road soon turns left, and the road to the homestead at Francu branches off to the right. Go straight ahead here too, and at the next crossroads go slightly right (the homestead at Pologar to the slight left). The asphalt road splits again, and this time we take the left path (right to reach the homestead at Francu), which loses its asphalt coating and leads us over a pasture fence. We continue up the cart track, which takes us above the orchard, then turns left and takes us through the lane of the forest and over several grazing fences to a crossroads by a small partly stone byte. Go right here, and cart track, higher up, turns left again, and then in a few minutes leads to a hunting observation post. At the hunting observation post, take a sharp right, then immediately left from the worse cart track, straight up the slope. After a short climb, a path appears, mostly climbing transversely through the forest, leading parallel to the edge of the nearby hayfield. Higher up, you reach the ridge between the Ljubinjski Steni and Masovnik, where the track becomes more distinct and takes you to the other, western side of the ridge. The path, along which you can see some old, rather faded markings, later starts to climb crosswise. Higher up, you reach scree scree and within a few minutes you reach a crossroads at the foot of the Ljubinjske rocks.
Continue left towards mountain pasture Razor (right mountain pasture to Prodih and Rut), and the trail leads directly under the cliffs, where there is an increased chance of falling rocks, especially in spring. There is a cross-climb and the path leads into the forest, where it leads past a spring. After the spring, the path climbs steeply and after two serpentines, it flattens out again. A little further on, we cross a grazing fence, and the path leads us out of the forest to the upper part of the mountain pasture Kuk, to an area called Močila, where we pass a few huts on the lower side. After the huts, you reach a carriage road, which you follow to the right (to the left mountain pasture Kuk and the parking lot), and quickly reach a crossroads, where the path to Žabiški Kuk (also called Žabijski Kuk) branches off to the right - the path past Gradič (an old military trail).
Continue in the route mountain pasture Razor and continue along the folded macadam road that crosses the western slopes of the Žabiška Kuka. Following the road, which occasionally opens up a beautiful view to the north-west, where we can see Rdeči rob, Vrh nad Peski, Grušnica, Tolminski Migovec and other surrounding mountains, after about 25 minutes of further walking, we arrive at a place where the signs for the mountain lodge direct us to the right, on a path that climbs crosswise above the road. A few minutes' walk later, the path leads to the mountain pasture Razor hut.
From the hut, continue in the direction of Globoko, Vogel, Vrh nad Škrbino. . . along the path which crosses the lane of the forest and then forks on a gently sloping grassy slope.
This time continue straight on in the direction of Vrh nad Škrbino and Dom na Komni (to the right Vogel, Globoko and Črna prst), along a path which turns slightly to the left and continues climbing up a slope covered with dwarf pines. After a few minutes, the path is laid out, and then, north of the inexpressive Kopecko peak, after a short moderate climb, it leads to the next crossroads, where it continues to the right in the direction of Vrh nad Škrbino (following the left path, you will arrive at Škrbina, from where you can continue towards Tolminski Kuk, Bohinj or Vrh nad Škrbino on a very difficult path).
The way forward initially climbs gently to moderately through dwarf pines and turns slightly to the left. After leaving dwarf pines, continue climbing moderately for a short distance, and the path leads across a grassy slope, just below the ridge. After crossing a few small scree slopes, the path turns right and starts to climb quite steeply up the grassy slope. Climb steep grassy slopes until you reach the ridge, where you join a very difficult path from Škrbine.
Go right here and, with beautiful views, quickly reach the summit.
