Starting point Plan dei Spadovai in the upper part of Dunja valley.

Opposite the parking lot path 605 starts, initially a forest track, which higher up turns into a trail along which I go to the large screes under the Two Spits. At the start of the screes I leave the mentioned path and go left, the trail is visible but less trodden, in the initial part there is even some freshly cut brushwood. The path takes me in zigzags to a scenic promontory, where the path to the valley branches left, right it goes around the edge, where a cable is installed on a somewhat awkward ledge. The further course of the path is marked with red dots and goes upwards to the ruins of military objects.

The short further ascent to the summit itself is best done along the SE slopes to the top (easy climbing I+), as I somehow didn't trust the old cables installed above the ruins.

I descended to the ruins along the ascent direction, the trail marked with dots from the summit runs along the eastern slope and splits somewhat below the summit, left to the saddle under Velika Spica, right to the ruins. I also checked the western summit, where there are also ruins of military objects, returned under Gosadon and descended to the scenic promontory. From there directly down the former mule track (unmarked), which soon brings me to a large cave in which there was probably once a military object that burned down. I continue along the path, which is somewhat less visible in places, lower down it turns into a proper wide mule track, which brings me to the Dunja - Rudni vrh road at Zachi chapel. From there back to the parking lot less than 20 minutes.

Monte Gosadon is the highest of the peaks in the short ridge directly near the Two Spits, viewed towards Tolmezzo. Under the summit there was a military outpost and three military accesses to it have somehow been preserved. All are fadedly marked, more no than yes, above all they offer plenty of bushwhacking with brush velik nasmeh

.

We found the crossing to it after traversing the Two Spits aiming to make a full circular variant of that day. The branch for Monte Gosadon hides at the lowest point of the saddle between it and the Spits, around 1888 m elevation, right before the richly painted mark for path 649. After initial thrashing through brush the path opens and is easily traceable all the way to the summit. The path is nowhere exposed.

We descended past the crumbling military object, above which rusty cables assist. Here is the key point. Straight ahead a partially trodden pathlet leads, which soon loses itself in dense brush and probably leads under the ridge slopes. At the ruins therefore descend below them and soon spot our path again.

This later splits into two forks. We chose the left one, which much later delivered us to path 605. This is even marked, but long unmaintained. The right fork is marked on a stone by the path and keeps more to the right side of the slope. Just before the road it meets path 605. What condition that fork is in I don't know, based on what I saw I assume it's even hairier than the traversed nasmeh
