Valbruna - Planina Strehica

Access to the starting point:
After crossing the Rateče or Predel border crossing, drive to Trbiz / Tarvisio, then continue along the old road to Udine. Soon you will see the signs "Valbruna", which direct you to the left onto the local road, which takes you past the old cable car to Višarje to Ovčje vas / Valbruna. At the crossroads, where the road to the Zajzere shelter branches off to the left, continue to the right towards the village of Ukve / Ugovizza and follow the road for another 200 m to the parking lot under the power line.

Path description:
From the parking lot, continue along the road towards Ukva and walk along it for 100 m to a road sign, where you will notice the mountain markings "Forcella Nebria" (Za vrhom in Slovenian), which direct you to the left on the trail No. 608. The trail initially runs along a worse road, which after a few minutes of a steep climb into the wods, and there leads to a marked crossroads, where the trail to the right branches off to the top of Podgorski vrh / Monte Nebria. Continue straight on, initially following cart track, and then the signs direct you slightly to the right on a slightly steeper path. Soon we are out of the forest, and the path leads us along a beautifully landscaped canal, which is intended to drain the water from the local ski slope. The path leads to a road higher up, and after a few minutes' further walking, to the Za vrhom / Forcella Nebria pass.
On the pass, the markings are lost due to the construction of a new ski slope, and we continue along the road for a few minutes. After about 5 minutes of descending, you will see a dirt road on the left side of the ski slope, which you will continue to climb. After a good 10 minutes of walking on the worse road, you will reach a torrent, where the road turns right (you can also get here from the path that branches off in the immediate vicinity of the prevala, but this path is completely overgrown).
On the other side of the torrent, the path turns left into the forest and gradually turns into an increasingly steep path with cart track. Continue along the well-marked path, which climbs through the forest in many switchbacks. Higher up, the path transitions, crosses a larger ravine, and then gradually begins to turn more and more to the right. After a few minutes of further ascent, the path is laid and leads us out of the forest to a larger clearing, at the edge of which stands a beautifully decorated house.
Cross the clearing and on the other side come to an unmarked crossroads where you continue straight down the wide cart track. After a short descent, you reach a marked crossroads at Mountain pasture Strehica.
