Access to the starting point:
From the road Bovec - Border crossing Predel, take the road in the direction of Mangartsko sedlo and follow it to the marked parking lot in front of Mangartska planina, where you park.
Path description:
From the parking lot at the edge of Mangartska planina, continue straight ahead and follow the asphalt road leading to Mangartski sedlo. On the asphalt road, cross two serpentines and then, on one of the concrete pillars, notice an arrow pointing to the right to a less visible path, which, after a few minutes of ascent, reaches the north-west ridge of Planja, where the path becomes easier to follow. Follow the track to the right, climbing gently at first and then moderately. After a few minutes the ridge becomes quite steep and the path leads slightly left, above a steep slope, steeply upwards. This is followed by a few minutes of quite steep climbing, where there is a danger of slipping, especially in the wet. The ascent then passes through dwarf pines, where the track is easy to follow, and then reaches the summit ridge, where the steepness eases. A few minutes of less steep trail follow, continuing through dwarf pines, and we reach an undistinguished summit, overgrown by dwarf pines, with fine views, most of which stop at the mighty Mangart.
