Avsa - Srednji vrh (on Matajur) (old path)

Access to starting point:
A) We drive to Tolmin, and then we continue driving towards Kobarid. When we get to the settlement Idrsko, we turn left in the direction of the settlement Livek, from Livek we follow the signs for Avsa and Matajur. From Avsa we continue a good 300 meters ahead, and then we park at the marked parking lot.
B) From Kobarid we drive towards Tolmin, but only to the settlement Idrsko, where we turn right in the direction of the settlement Livek, and from Livek we follow the signs for Avsa and Matajur. From Avsa we continue a good 300 meters ahead, and then we park at the marked parking lot.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we go on a marked path in the direction of Matajur, where we first walk through the forest and temporarily step on a cart track. There follows an ascent through two shorter meadows, and then we return into a dense forest, through which we ascend moderately to steeply, and here and there the path also slightly descends. Higher, we cross a metal fence, behind which the path turns right and continues on a cart track. The cart track soon ends, and we continue on a footpath which continues through a partly grassy slope, surrounded by lanes of forest. A little further, the path turns left and on slopes of Srednji vrh entirely flattens.
Here we can on pathless terrain in a few minutes ascend to Srednji vrh, otherwise we continue on a marked path, which crosses slopes of the mentioned summit and a little ahead joins the forest road. We follow the road to the right, along which we quickly arrive at a marked junction, which is situated in a smaller valley between Mrzli vrh and Srednji vrh.
At the junction, we leave the road which leads further in the direction of Matajur and continue right in the direction of Idrska planina and Mrzli vrh. We quickly reach the ridge at the saddle between both mentioned peaks, and from the saddle we continue right in the direction of Srednji vrh (left Mrzli vrh, straight Idrska planina), which we reach after less than 5 minutes of additional walking.
The description and pictures refer to the condition in the year 2018 (October).
