Tolminske Ravne - Javor (above Tolminske Ravne)

Access to the starting point:
Take the Tolmin, then continue in the direction of Žabč and Zadlaz (the turn-off from the main road is on the left bank of the Tolminka River). When you arrive in Žabče, at a small crossroads, turn slightly right towards Zadlaz. At Zadlaz-Žabče the road descends a little, where it crosses the Zadlaščica River via a bridge, and then starts climbing steeply again on a narrow, but constantly asphalted road. After about 12 km from the main road, you reach a marked parking area in Tolminske Ravne, where you park.

Path description:
From the parking lot, go back a few steps to the red mountain direction signs, which you follow in the direction of Koča na planini Razor and mountain pasture Kal. The way forward leads us first over a pasture fence, then on to cart track, which continues across a meadow, from which we have a fine view of Tolmin Migovec. Cart track soon turns right and leads to a stone enclosure where it splits into two parts.
Continue along the upper left cart track in the direction of mountain pasture on Kal (slightly right Koča na planini Razor), which continues to climb gently. A little higher, at an older water tower, continue right, then cross a torrent. Soon you will reach the next crossroads, where continue left in the direction mountain pasture on Kal and Tolminski Migovec. The old mulatier continues for some time along or slightly to the right of the nearby torrent, before receding further to the right. At the point where the mulatier moves away from the torrent, there is usually a small cairn by the side of the path, where you turn left onto a well-trodden path which continues along the torrent. The path continues to lead quite steeply upwards, occasionally coming quite close to the torrent bed, so that in a few places a little more caution is needed, but these places can also be avoided as the slope to the right of the ravine is easily traversable. Higher up, the torrent becomes less distinct, but when we are almost out of the forest, the path splits into two parts, and we continue on the right, which leads us to the saddle between the peak of Javor on the left and Grušnica on the right.
At the saddle, we also reach the marked trail Čadrg - mountain pasture on Kal, and we continue to the left, initially along an easier trackless path to the initially unmarked ridge of the Javor peak, where the trail reappears to the right of dwarf pines. Follow this track until you reach the summit, a few minutes away, which offers a beautiful view.
