Tolminske Ravne - Vrh Planje (above Globoko) (steep path)

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. Leave the marked trail here and continue left on an unmarked path, which will take you up to Vrh Planje in a minute or two.
