Drežnica - Gomiščkovo zavetišče na Krnu (pot Silva Korena)

Access to the starting point:
From Tolmin or Bovec, take the road to Kobarid, and from there follow the road towards Drežnica (the road branches off from the Kobarid bypass). Continue over the bridge over the Soča River and immediately after the bridge turn left in the direction of Drežnica. Follow this mostly ascending road to the centre of Drežnica, where turn right and continue to the primary school, which is the starting point of our route.

Path description:
From the parking lot, head past the chapel and the primary school on the marked path to Krn. The trail continues through the forest and then along the pasture to the Triglav National Park sign. Here we join the road (the road from Drežnica) and we continue on the marked trail, which crosses the Ročica stream a little higher, and we arrive at a marked crossroads, where we continue left in the direction of the bivouac and the very difficult trail to Krn (to the right, the easier trail to Krn).
The path continues into a dense forest, through which it climbs moderately along the Ročica brook. The path then turns slightly to the right and leads to the Bivouac on Črniku.
From the bivouac, turn sharp left and continue your ascent along the path as it climbs through the forest. After a few minutes of further walking, we exit the forest and turn slightly to the left, and after a short traverse of the slopes below the Krno wall, we reach the start of the climbing part of the route.
Right at the start of the climbing section, you climb almost vertically up the rocky slope with the help of crampons and a rope ladder. After a short, very steep climb, the route turns slightly to the left and becomes slightly less difficult for a short time. There follows a climb along the steel and then a climb in keys up a very steep and unprotected grassy slope (in wet conditions there is a very high risk of slipping, but also in dry conditions considerable caution is needed). The path then turns right and leads to a marked crossroads.
The right (West Dřežnice) path crosses the exposed western slopes of Krno and then joins the mountain pasture Kitchen path and the easier path from Drežnica, and we continue left towards the Silva Koren path.
The trail continues along a very steep and exposed ridge, which is well protected. This path then leads us to a registration box with a registration book, which is located in front of the most exposed part of the path. The route continues along a relatively narrow and precipitous ridge, where you climb up a vertical ladder twice. There are a few more very steep climbs along the steel cable, and then the trail lays down and leads us to the Gomiščko shelter on Krno.
