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, follow the path in the direction of Koča na planini Razor and mountain pasture at Kal. Initially, follow cart track, which continues from the nearby house and leads you across a meadow with a view. On the other side of the meadow, cross a pasture fence and the path leads to a marked crossroads, where you continue along the bottom right-hand cart track (slightly left-hand mountain pasture on Kal).
Continue along cart track, which descends gently to the right, then lays down and continues for a few minutes without any major changes in elevation. After the concrete trough, the path splits again and we take the steep left path (the path that continues straight ahead also leads to the mountain pasture Razor, but the path is longer, but not technically difficult).
The way ahead starts to climb again, and climbs mostly to the right, only making a serpentine here and there. Higher up, we move to steeper slopes, and a little further on to an exposed but, apart from the first few steps, well protected ledge. When the traverse ends, the path returns to the forest, through which it climbs more steeply, and then emerges from the forest and the path is laid. From here it is a few minutes' walk with beautiful views of the mountains rising above the Zadlaščice basin, and the path leads past the cheese cottage to the hut at mountain pasture Razor.
From the hut we continue in the direction of Globoko, Vogel, Vrch nad Škrbino. . . along the path which crosses the lane of a forest and then splits on a gently sloping grassy slope.
From the crossroads, continue right (straight ahead Vrh nad Škrbino and Dom na Komni) and start climbing moderately. The path quickly returns to the forest and leads to the next crossroads.
From the crossroads, continue left towards Globoko (slightly right Vogel) on the path that quickly leads out of the forest. Once out of the woods, climb the mulatier, which at first occasionally still leads through strips of scrub or dwarf pines, then gradually changes to steeper, mostly grassy slopes. The path then climbs moderately in a few switchbacks, followed by a slightly longer traverse to the right. Here the slope gradually becomes steeper, and the path, which continues along the mulatier, leads us higher up to an old concrete bunker, and a little further on to a small emergency bivouac, in which there are some benches. From the bivouac, there are a few minutes of scenic ascent, and then we reach the main ridge of the Lower Bohinj Mountains at the Globoko pass. From Globoko descend to the Bohinj side, along a path that is well maintained with logs, so that the descent is not difficult, and a little lower down we are helped by a log flume (not difficult). After a few minutes of descent, we arrive at a marked crossroads, where we continue to the right in the direction of the Vogel (to the left the Konjsko saddle and Komna, straight down we can go to Žagarjev graben, or to the mountain pasture Last Vogel).
After the crossroads, cross the initially steep slope, then the path leads you across to the left. After a small pass, descend in a few steps to the next crossroads, where you continue right up the path towards Vogel (straight ahead Vogel ski slope, Šija. . . ). There is a short, slightly steeper climb, and then another path from the Vogel ski area joins from the left. Here again, continue to the right, and then, in a few steps, regain the ridge of the Lower Bohinj Mountains, where you once again continue to the right along an unmarked path towards Vrh Krnic (left Vogel 10 minutes).
From the crossroads, there is a short climb along a technically easy ridge and the path leads to the scenic Vrh Krnic
