Sella Nevea - Speleological bivouac Modonutti - Savoia (via 637)

Access to the starting point:
From Kranjska Gora, drive through the Rateče border crossing to Trbiž / Tarvisio. In Trbiz, turn left towards Bovec and follow the road to the crossroads near Lake Rabelj. Here, turn right towards the Nevea Pass / Sella Nevea. Continue along the ascending road, which makes a few serpentines higher up, and then, just 10 m before the road starts to descend, you will notice a minor forest road on your left, which branches off the main road sharply to the left (there is a road sign at the junction and a rock with markings next to it - the start of our route). As there are no suitable parking places at the junction, drive on for another 100 m and then park in a suitable space along the road.
From Bovec, drive to the Predel border crossing, from which you descend to the Italian side. Just after Lake Rabelj, you will reach a crossroads where you turn left towards the Neveje Pass / Sella Nevea. Continue as described above.

Path description:
From the starting point, go back a little and then follow footpath 637, which initially follows a less well-trodden forest road. After a few minutes of easy walking, signs direct you to the right onto the footpath, which begins to climb steeply with the help of a number of small steps. A little higher up, we get a nice view of the surrounding peaks, and the path then lays down and returns to the forest. The path continues on a moderate ascent (with a slight descent a few times in between), crosses the slopes to the left, and then climbs a little steeper for a short time, leading us out of the steep slopes and into the flatter world of the passage. The increasingly scenic route, which follows an old military causeway, then leads through a series of short valleys, crossings and a few short descents. Over time, this path leads to the foot of the steep, smooth and in some places even overhanging western face of Velika Bavha. Just at the foot of the wall, the marked trail turns right and then climbs across a short scree slope. Just a little further on the path turns slightly more to the right, where after a short crossing it leads us to the edge of a torrential ravine. Turn sharp left here and climb along the edge of the torrent to its mouth. Here, through a kind of natural gate, we enter the beautiful high mountain cirque, where the path completely lays down and we, if we keep quiet, can also spot a number of marmots.
Through the above-mentioned cirque, walk slightly to the left and then join the path from the Rifugio Gilberti mountain hut. Follow the path to the left, and it will take you up a few serpentines to the Vrh Laških brežičev lookout saddle (after Sella Robon in Italian), where there is an information board and a table with two benches next to it.
At the saddle, continue left (straight ahead Jerebica for 6 hours) and continue the ascent along a well-traced but unmarked path. The trail then crosses over a rather steep slope, then flattens out and leads to a number of military fortifications. These fortifications are bypassed on the left by a wide artificial ledge, and then there is only a short climb to reach the Modonutti-Savoia cave bivouac.
