Trbiž / Tarviso - Kamniti lovec / Cima del Cacciatore (on transport road)

Access to the starting point:
a) Take the Border crossing Rateče to Trbiž / Tarviso, then turn left at the beginning of the above-mentioned town in the direction of Bovec. After a few 100 metres of further driving, when you reach the main road Trbiž - Border crossing Predel, just cross the road and continue driving in the direction of the Golf Club Tarvisio golf course. Continue along Via Priesnig, where the road turns right at the left-hand bend and heads towards the parking area of the golf course. Continue along the main road that runs alongside the golf course for another 100 metres, or until the road starts to descend. Here, the road forks off to the left and immediately splits. At this junction, the route described above begins, but there are no parking spaces.
b) Via Border crossing Predel, enter Itali and continue to Trbiž / Tarvisio. Before entering the centre of Trbiž, the road to Kranjska Gora turns off to the right, and here we continue left, on the road, towards the Golf Club Tarvisio golf course. Continue along Via Priesnig, where the road turns right at the left-hand bend and heads towards the parking area of the golf course. Continue along the main road that runs alongside the golf course for another 100 metres, or until the road starts to descend. Here, the road forks off to the left and immediately splits. At this junction, the route described above begins, but there are no parking spaces.

Path description:
From the starting point, continue west along the road closed to public traffic. Shortly after the traffic sign, the asphalt ends and we climb moderately up the road until it meets the ski slope. When you reach the ski slope, take a sharp left and continue along the service road, which continues along the ski slope. During the ascent, we occasionally get some views, but otherwise they are mostly blocked by the nearby forest. Higher up, we leave the ski slope for a while, but when we return to the ski slope, we have beautiful views of Julian Alps and the western Karavanke Mountains. After less than an hour and a half of walking, we reach the transmitters on the nondescript Breznik peak.
Here the road and the ski slope turn south-west, passing a reservoir lake on the right. There is a slight climb for a few minutes, then the service road becomes steeper, and the views from the road get better and better, reaching across the Kanal valley to Carnic Alps, and even further. We continue to climb along the service road, which continues along, and occasionally beside, the ski slope. Higher up, as the road levels out, the top of Florjanka is reached.
From Florjanka, continue straight ahead and start descending south-west along the service road. After a short descent, you reach a covered conveyor belt, where the path climbs a little and then starts descending again. There is a good 10 minutes of moderate downhill before the trail flattens out and there is only a slight climb to Višarska planina.
From Višarska planina, the service road climbs first gently and then steeply. During the ascent, there are beautiful views of the Beraški Križ (Beraški Križ) on the left, and higher up, we quickly reach the larger chapel on the Višarski sedlo (Višarski sedlo), from where we continue left on the footpath in the direction of the Kamnitý hunter (straight ahead - Zajzera, to the right - Svete Višarje (Svete Višarje)).
From the saddle, the path climbs slightly, then continues for some time without any major changes in altitude, or climbs only slightly. Further on, the path begins to climb moderately, and higher up it crosses the slopes of the Beraški Križ, a peak visible to the left of the path. After a longer traverse to the right, there is a shorter, slightly steeper section, and then the path leads to cirque in Klobuk, where the path transitively lays down and turns again more to the right. When the path starts to climb again, it turns left and then leads over scree, over which you walk until you enter the more difficult part. At the beginning of the protected part, an arrow on a rock points to the right, where we start to climb steeply with the help of a rope. After a short steep climb, the well-protected path turns right and climbs crosswise to a rubbly ravine, which is reached by a further protected path. We then climb up the gully, where we have to be very careful not to skip stones, as there is a mountain path below us and any stone can be dangerous for the many hikers below us, and we also have to watch out for falling stones skipped by the hikers above us. During the climb up the ravine, which is not particularly difficult technically, we are helped in a few places by a rope. At the top of the ravine, we reach a ridge, where we continue to the right, and then, after a steep path, we reach the scenic summit within a minute of further walking.
Trbiž - Florjanka 2:30, Florjanka - Višarska planina 25 minutes, Višarska planina - Kamniti lovec 1:30.
