Access to the starting point:
Between Most na Soči and Tolmin the road to Poljubinj branches off. From Poljubinj continue towards the village of Ljubinj, where after the church turn left towards mountain pasture Razor and Stador. The road leads to a parking area at mountain pasture Stador, where there is a mountain lodge nearby. We drive on to mountain pasture Lom and continue along the road following the signs mountain pasture Razor. At a height of 1150 m you reach mountain pasture Kuk, where there is a parking lot. Further driving is forbidden.
Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the road closed to traffic, which after a few dozen steps leads to the mountain pasture Kuk, where you can buy homemade dairy products (sour milk, cheese, cottage cheese) in the summer. The road continues to climb steeply and after a while leads to the next ramp. After the ramp, the path goes into the forest and climbs almost insignificantly, and occasionally the path even descends slightly. After an hour's walk, the path leads us to mountain pasture Razor, where the mountain lodge is located.
From the hut we continue in the direction of Globoko, Vogel, Vrch nad Škrbino. . . along the path which crosses the lane of a forest, and then splits on a gently sloping grassy slope.
From the crossroads, continue right (straight ahead Vrh nad Škrbino and Dom na Komni) and start climbing moderately. The path quickly returns to the forest and leads to the next crossroads.
Continue right again in the direction of Vogel (left Globoko) and gradually start climbing steeply. Leave the forest quickly and then start climbing up the gradually steeper slope. With fine views of the Tolmin region, higher up you reach the south-western ridge of Vrh Krnic, where the trail transitions and turns left. The path continues to climb crosswise and leads above Cirque and along the slopes of Vrch Krnic. After crossing a small valley, where an unmarked path branches off to the left, leading to a small saddle between the summit and the Vogel, the path passes to the slopes of the Vogel, where it climbs steeply across the steep slope. Higher up, you reach the ridge of Vogel, where the path turns left (right: Žabiški Kuk). A good 10 minute climb follows and the scenic route leads to the 1922 metre high summit of Vogel.
From the top of Vogel, continue left and descend the ridge in a few minutes to the saddle between Vogel and Vrh Krnic. Here the marked trail continues to the right, and we continue straight ahead on an unmarked path, which will take us up to Vrh Krnic in two or three minutes.
