To the Preval pasture, which is a true hub of several paths, at least two "crazy" paths lead. One from Begunje or. Draga valley through the gorge (better said crack) Luknja, the other from Ljubelj via Born's path, which I'll comment on a bit.
The path is currently in very good condition, as if they had thoroughly fixed it recently. True, it is carved into a steep, sometimes almost vertical slope and as such is not recommended for those prone to vertigo. Although narrow, there is generally no problem with meeting others, though it might be a bit more complicated if you meet a larger group. I also hope that mountain bikers do not succumb to the temptation to race along it. Especially in the first part of the tunnel (viewed from the Ljubelj direction), those 180+ cm should watch their heads; a headlamp is recommended in this section, otherwise we will quickly trip over the various rocks inside. The tunnel floor was damp, but there was no mud or puddles. Where the path crosses screes, it is of course more gravelly, similar to the second part when it joins the forest roads. There is practically no need to use "via ferrata gear". How it will be after the first major storm, we will see. Also, the first half of the path is scenic. In addition to the numerous surrounding peaks that I still need to identify, the memorial complex at the site of the camp and the church of St. Anne are clearly visible; we casually overlook the latter from the main road even though it is actually right next to it.
Parking at the lot on the right side of the road (viewed from the Tržič direction) right before the tunnel is free (probably state-owned rather than municipal). On Monday morning it did not even fill up completely; I assume it is different on certain busier days. The asphalt parking lot on the other side of the road is owned by Kompas Shop, which charges non-customers "5€/day/hour" (that's what it says, but what it really means...), payable in the shop, so it is already cheaper to park at the gravel Zelenica lot, where daily parking (it is not clear to me whether this means 24h from payment or until midnight) costs a very reasonable 3€ (compared to some more notorious locations), payable at the machine with appropriate coins or via the well-known "Mr. 15%" app.
Born's path is unmarked, except for an unofficial (not standard PZS red) sign to Preval at the end of the parking lot and a fairly appropriate warning about suitable equipment. However, especially in the first part (up to the junction with the forest roads), we cannot stray anywhere anyway. It is more likely on the return if we have not memorized the "critical" points. Most likely, at the very end of the return, we will miss the direct turn-off to the parking lot and end up in front of the crumbling hotel.
On the pasture itself, four-legged companions must be on a leash. Two cows were observed near the hut, but I somehow doubt that they alone produce all those still fresh cow pats across the entire pasture area. Unfortunately, the air was not clear enough for the Julian Alps to be distinctly visible, unlike the surrounding peaks.
