Potoki - Stol (Julian Alps)

Access to the starting point:
From Bovec or Tolmin, drive to Kobarid, where you head towards the Robič border crossing in the centre. The road then leads to the village of Staro Selo, where at the crossroads turn right towards the villages of Breginj and Potoki. Follow this road past the village of Kreda and park in the parking lot on the left hand side of the road. The parking lot is located a few 100m before the village of Potoki.

Path description:
From the parking lot, continue towards the village of Potoki, where signs then direct you to the right onto a narrow road. Leave the road at a sharp left turn and turn right onto cart track, which leads into the forest. As you climb cart track, you will come to a few forks, which are well marked. On the right-hand side of cart track you will soon see a signpost pointing to the left to the footpath, which you will then follow for some time. The path then leads past a spring with drinking water and climbs slightly steeper.
The path slowly turns slightly to the left and leads us out of the forest for the first time onto slightly overgrown grassy slopes. Here we also get a nice view of Monte Mataiur and the Chair. From the grassy slopes we then come back to the forest through which we climb all the way to the bivouac Hlek.
At the bivouac we join the mountain road which we follow all the way to the crossroads where the road to Breginj branches off to the left and to the right towards Učja and Žaga. We continue straight ahead following the signs "Chair 1 hour". The road soon ends and we continue right along the fence on a fairly steep grassy slope. When we reach the ridge, we turn left and there are only a few more short climbs to the top of Kobariská Stol.

On the way: Bivak Hlek (1225m)
