Loška Koritnica - Mangart

Access to the starting point:
From Bovec, drive towards the Predel border crossing. In the village Log pod Mangartom, just after the bridge over the Predilnica River, turn right in the direction of Koritnica. First an asphalted then a macadam road leads quickly to a parking lot at the beginning of the entrance to the central part of the TNP.

Path description:
Take the road on the right, which is closed with a barrier. The road passes close to the stream at all times and crosses it several times. Towards the end, the road becomes narrower and narrower and leads us past a few houses to a crossroads. Turn slightly right on the footpath behind the markings Jalovec, Mangrt (left Mountain pasture Brdo). The path then goes into the forest and soon a path branches off to the right towards the saddle Čez Brežice and on towards Zavetišču pod Špičkom (Shelter under Špičko). The path leads out of the forest onto grassy slopes and on the left side of the path you will see a hunting lodge. Walk on the grassy terrain for a while and then briefly enter the forest again. When you come out of the forest, you will soon see a small waterfall on your left. Again we climb along the grassy terrain along the bed of the torrent and all the time we have wonderful views of the surrounding peaks (Briceljk, Jalovec, Mangart, Vevnica). From the grassy slopes we then slowly reach a scree slope which leads us to the crossroads of the trail. To the right, the trail branches off towards Kotovo sedlo, and we continue to the left towards Mangart. Climb the scree below the walls of Vevnica northwards. At the end of the scree, turn left and climb up some rocks to the slightly steeper southern slopes, partly covered with grass. Continue ascending gently, crossing steeper and steeper slopes to the west. As we approach the ridge, we come down the grassy slopes into a slightly more difficult part of the route. Cross a slightly exposed slope to the west along a steel cable, which leads to a slightly less visible crossroads. To the right of the ridge, the path branches off towards the Tarvisio bivouac and on towards Vevnica. We continue on the left path towards Mangart. Soon we reach a small notch from where a view opens up to the north side towards Belopeški jezero. There is a short descent with the help of a few rocks and wedges, and then a short crossing leads us to a window. The path passes through the window and leads to a vertical descent into the Huda notch. This part of the path is also well protected by wedges and a rope. From the notch, continue by crossing the steep slopes to the west, which are still well protected by a steel cable at the beginning. Later, when you reach very steep grassy slopes, the path is not protected and is very dangerous for slipping, especially in wet conditions. The path then climbs steep grassy slopes to the west and leads to the border ridge. The path becomes less exposed and soon leads to a crossroads where it joins the Italian route from the Mangart saddle. At the crossroads, continue slightly to the left and there is still a climb up a scenic slope. Then we cross the ravine and to the top we have just one last slope to overcome in the keys.
