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 reach the next crossroads, where you 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, and then at a small man's house, the path branches off from the mulatier slightly to the left, which continues along the torrent and leads further towards the saddle between the Javor peak on the left and Grušnica on the right, while we continue to follow the mulatier.
Higher up, we reach the next marked crossroads, where another path branches off to the right towards mountain pasture Razor, and we continue to the left and continue for a short time on a slight incline. A minute or two further on, we leave the gently sloping path and continue slightly to the right in the direction of mountain pasture on Kal (we arrive directly at the aforementioned saddle, from which we can continue to Javor or to the village Čadrg, with another branch towards mountain pasture on Kal in between). After a short, slightly steeper climb, we return to the mulatier, where we also join the route from Čadrgo.
Continue to the right and follow the mulatier up to mountain pasture on Kal, where a few old bytes stand to the right of a small saddle.
