Svino - Svinska planina

Access to the starting point:
Access from Tolmin: From Tolmin, drive towards Kobarid and take the newly built ring road, which bypasses Kobarid on the right, straight towards the centre. Just before the centre of Kobarid, the road to the village of Svino branches off to the left. The turn-off is marked! Follow this road until it starts to climb. Park in the parking lot on the roadside. If you continue driving to the village of Svino, you have not gained anything as there is no parking there.
Access from Bovec: From Bovec drive towards Kobarid and when you get to the bypass past Kobarid turn right into the centre of Kobarid. In the centre of Kobarid, the road to the border crossing Robič turns right. Here continue straight on (slightly left) towards Tolmin but only a few dozen metres to where the road to the village of Svino branches off to the right. Continue as described above.

Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the road along which you parked. After a good five minute walk you reach the village Svino, where you see the signs for Monte Mataiur to the left and Sužid to the right. Here, continue left between the houses with inconspicuous signs for Monte Mataiur. If you are not sure which way is the right way, it is better to ask someone if you have the opportunity. The right path goes a little further left and soon leads us past the houses and across the pastures after which the path goes into the wods. Further ahead, the markings are more frequent and orientation is easier.
The path then starts to climb steeply and after about half an hour's walk leads us to the wider cart track, which comes from the village of Sužid. The cart track, which has a few switchbacks but is well marked, continues to climb for some time. Before a dilapidated old military bastion, the trail turns left up to Monte Mataiur. Here cart track turns into a steep military mulatier, which takes us up a fairly steep slope to less steep slopes. The path then leads us to a newly built forest road which we just cross. On the other side of the road, we climb a few steps and see the shepherd's huts on Svinska mountain pasture in front of us.
