Access to the starting point:
Drive into the centre of Bovec, where from the crossroads by the main square continue along the ascending road, which starts to climb past the post office towards the nearby church. Go around the church on the left and then arrive in Kaninsko vas. Bovec then ends, and the road continues westwards for some time. At a small fork, leave the main asphalt road leading to the village Plužna and continue along the road slightly to the right (after the crossroads marked for the Gozdec road). After the nearby farmhouse, the road splits again, and this time we take the road slightly to the left (slightly to the right Zavrzelno and the starting point of the route to Rombon). We continue to climb on the macadam road, which leads us higher up to the B station of the cable car to Kanin. At the B station, the road turns sharp left, and then, after about 1 km of further driving, a cross-country climb brings us to the next crossroads. From this junction, continue to the left or straight on (sharp right mountain pasture Cirque), and follow the road from the junction for a short distance. We soon see signs for Kanin along the road, and we park about 20 metres further on, in a small parking lot by the road.
From the Square of the Pigeon Victims, it is about 9 km to the starting point.
Path description:
From the starting point, go back a few steps and then follow the marked trail in the direction of Visoki Kanin and Vrha Laška planje. The trail immediately starts to climb steeply, and mostly leads us through a dense forest, only occasionally opening up some views of the surrounding area. During the ascent, the path leads us under the cliffs of Turno v Skednju (1555 m). When the cliffs end we arrive at an unmarked crossroads where we continue slightly right along the marked path (slightly left unmarked path leading to Veliki Babanski Skedenj 2121 m), which soon climbs steeply over a short steep slope, where there is a greater risk of slipping, especially in the wet. The steepness soon eases and you reach the abandoned mountain pasture Gozdec, which you pass on the right.
We continue to climb through increasingly sparse forest, so that the path opens up some views towards the Bovška basin and the Krn mountains. A fairly steady climb follows, and we, while loking at the walls of the Great Barn, arrive at a small spring located to the right of the path. The trail is also covered with grass, which can be quite wet in the mornings and after the rain. After a while the path turns more to the west and gradually becomes less steep. After a few minutes of scenic ascent, you reach the ruins of the old hut of Peter Skalar, which burnt down in 1972.
Go around the hut on the left and then climb gently to moderately for some time on a more grassy terrain. The path then turns more to the south, so that you get the feeling that you are going in the wrong direction. There is a steeper climb, and the path turns slowly to the right, so that we are walking mainly westwards. A few minutes of easy walking follows and you arrive at a marked crossroads, where you continue downhill to the right in the direction of Dom Petra Skalarja na Kaninu (straight ahead Visoki Kanin and Vrh Laška planje).
After a short descent, the trail lays down and then crosses the area of high-lying plateau. The ascent then follows the high mountain landscape of the Kaninski Podov, where there is no trail for the most part, but the markings are quite frequent, so there are no problems with orientation in fine weather, but it is of course quite different in fog. The path ahead leads through scree and between potholes, caves and crevasses, so caution is not superfluous, and in wet weather the smooth slabs can be quite slippery. We continue for some time cross-climbing the slopes of Velika Gnila glava (2114 m), and the trail leads us to the next marked crossroads at this point. Continue slightly to the right (to the left to return to the path towards the top of Laška Planje) and continue to follow the worse path and markings. Follow this trail, which offers a really nice view of the Kanin massif, all the way to Dom Petra Skalarja na Kaninu, from where a nice view to the east opens up.
From the mountain lodge, continue in the direction of the D station of the Kanin circular cable car, where you first climb up to the bivouac, then go around it on the right. The route continues along the Kanin flor, where we mostly descend moderately, but occasionally we climb for a short time, walking between potholes, where we are helped by the fixed safety gear, especially by the ropes, due to the risk of slipping. A little further on, we cross the route of the cargo cableway, and the path continues for a while with some ups and downs, but then it starts to descend steeply. A technically demanding descent follows, where the fixed safety gear are helpful, and lower down we reach the route of the ski slope, from where we continue to the four-seater Prevala, which is situated slightly above Station D.
Below the four-seater, follow the ski slope up to the Saddle or Stump below Prestreljenik.
From Sedlo, where the 4-seater Prevala exit station is also located, you will see a large sign directing you to the west side of Sedlo. Here the marked trail turns left and starts to climb steeply up the steep slope. Higher up, the path transiently lays down and then passes by the foot of Prestreljenik, where it first climbs on rubble. The path continues on to steep slopes where it then ascends transversely to the right. There is a short climb over a grassy slope, and then the path turns to a completely rocky world, where you have to help yourself in a few places. Higher up, the path leads to the main ridge, where we are helped by some injured fixed safety gear. The path then gently lays down and in a few 10 steps of further walking leads us to a scenic peak.

V soboto 8.8. prehojena pot. Čas je zelo relativno označen. Pot pa markirana ok in del poti ob zajlah dobro varovana. V bližini koče srečala še dva kozoroga tako, da je bilo poleg čudovite skalne pokrajine in lepih razgledov vreden obisk gora.
