Dom v Lepeni - Veliki Šmohor (via Mali Šmohor)

Access to the starting point:
Between Trenta and Bovec, the road to Lepena branches off at the village of Soča. Follow this road, which is fully asphalted, to the parking lot of the house in Lepena.

Path description:
From the hut of Dr Klement Jug in Lepena, continue along the wide marked trail towards Krnske jezera. The wide and not to steep path splits into two parts after a few minutes of walking. The left one, which is a bit steeper, is normal, while the right one, which is flatter and a bit longer, is suitable for small children and the elderly. Both paths mostly climb through the forest to the top station of the cable car and cross a few times along the way. From the upper station of the cargo cableway, continue along the same path, which climbs gently along a wide transport road, which quickly leads to the snow depth measurement (every year in April). From here on, the road starts to descend and quickly leads us past the turnoff for Velika Baba to the next crossroads, where we leave the road and continue left down a footpath, which leads us in a few minutes to the house at Krnsko jezero (if we continue along the road, we bypass the mountain lodge). The road continues downhill for a few minutes.
From the house, continue straight on in the direction of Krno and Krnsko jezero along the gently sloping path, which is soon joined by a path that bypasses the mountain lodge. Continue past the shepherd's hut, past which you reach the next crossroads, where you continue left in the direction of Komna and Mali Šmohor (right Krn). After a few minutes of ascending, the wide and gently sloping path leads you right in the direction of Mali Šmohor (straight ahead Bogatinsko sedlo and Komna).
Continue initially along a small meadow, after which the path leads to dwarf pines. After a short climb through dwarf pines, the path leads us to an old partly overgrown military mulatier, which we then climb over less and less overgrown slopes. A pleasant and little-visited path along which we can observe many remains of the Soča Front, leads us in a moderate ascent under the steep walls of the Malá Šmohorje. Here, it is advisable to wear a helmet due to the risk of falling rocks. Continue cross-climbing over a scree slope, at the end of which the path turns left onto grassy slopes. The path then resumes its ascent to the summit ridge, where you leave the marked path at Mali Šmohor and continue left along and slightly down the ridge (right Mali Šmohor for 3 minutes). After a short descent, the path leads to an undistinguished saddle between the two peaks. From the saddle, continue straight ahead on the scenic and poorly visible path, which leads to the summit after a few minutes' walk. Lepena - house at Krnsko jezero 2:00, house at Krnsko jezero - Veliki Šmohor 2:30.
