Žabnice / Camporosso in Valcanale - Svete Višarje / Monte Lussari

Access to the starting point:
Via Border crossing Rateče or Border crossing Predel, drive to Trbiz / Tarvisio, then continue towards Udine and the settlements of Frogs / Camporosso and Valcanale. When Trbiz ends, just after the Eurospar store (the store is on the right hand side of the road), before the main roundabout, turn left onto Via Lussari. Drive along the street for a few 100 metres, then come to a small crossroads, and continue straight on from the crossroads and park in the parking lot on the right-hand side of the road after the crossroads. Park in the lower part of the parking lot, the upper part is marked no parking with a no parking sign.

Path description:
From the starting point, continue along the asphalt road, which is closed to public traffic and leads past a few houses. Above the hamlet, the path leads us past an information board, and then the asphalt ends. We continue on the macadam road, which leads us through the Višarski graben, through which the Rio Lussari stream flows. Higher up, the road turns into a wide cart track, with the Stations of the Cross appearing alongside.
We continue for some time on the cart track, which only occasionally opens up some views in the direction of Carnic Alps, where we can see Ojstrnik. Higher up, from cart track turn right onto the marked footpath towards the Stone Hunter / Cima del Cacciatore and the Holy Heights / Monte Lussari (straight ahead on cart track Višarska planina / Malga di Lussari). Then climb through the forest, and at the XIIIth station of the Way of the Cross you will be quite close to the ski slope and the service road.
Continue right on the footpath (the road can be followed up to Višarsko sedlo / Sella Lussari and on to Kamniti lovec) and ascend cross-country. Continue left under the cable car, then follow the signs for Svete Višarje. A little further on, the wide path is guarded by a fence, and we have increasingly beautiful views to the western Julian Alps, where Montaž is the highest. After passing the Beggar's Kugel / Monte Prasnig (the summit of which is reached by cable car) on the left, you descend a few steps to the road, which continues all the way to the hamlet and church of Sveti Višarje.
From the church, it takes a minute or two to climb to the top of Sveti Višarje, where the cross stands and where you can enjoy a beautiful view.
The description and pictures refer to the situation in 2017 (July).
