Cave del Mole - Viš/Jof Fuart

Access to starting point:
From Kranjska Gora over the border crossing Rateče we drive to Trbiž/Tarvisio. In Trbiž we continue left in the direction of Bovec and we follow the road to the crossroads near Rabeljsko jezero. Here we continue right in the direction of Nevejski preval/Sella Nevea. This road, which is mostly ascending, we follow to the spot where a macadam road branches off to the right. At the turn-off there is a monument with a cross and on a tree a signpost with the caption “Corsi”. We then follow the macadam road for a few turns, after that a little before the gate we park on the parking lot by the road.
From Bovec we drive to the border crossing Predel, from which we descend to the Italian side. Only a little after Rabeljsko jezero we come to a crossroads, where we continue left in the direction of Nevejski preval/Sella Nevea. Further, follow the upper description.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we continue on a macadam road which in zig-zags starts ascending. The road runs through the forest, so there is not much of a view. Only occasionally a view opens up towards the south and southeast. The road then turns to the left and starts ascending even a little steeper towards the north. A steep concreted road then brings us out of the forest on the mountain pasture Viška planina (1530m). Near the bottom station of a cargo cableway we will notice signposts, which point us to the right into the forest on the “German path” (sentiero dei tedeschi). At first, the path descends a little, turns to the right and crosses a few torrents. The path then starts ascending through the forest and later through dwarf pines. More frequently also beautiful views are opening up mainly towards the mountain pasture Viška planina below us and in the direction towards Rombon and Črnelska špca. On the path, there are also some steel cables, but the path isn't too hard on any part. More caution is needed mainly in the time when there are snow fields on the path. We soon notice in front of us the mountain hut Corsi and when we come out of the dwarf pines, to the hut follows only a few meters on a grassy slope.
From the mountain hut, we continue towards the north, where we start ascending on partly grassy and partly rocky terrain. The path then brings us to a junction, where we go left on path 627, and to the right leads path 625 towards Krniška škrbina (Ital. Forcella del Vallone) and further towards bivouac Gorizia. After a short ascent, we come again to a junction, where we go again left (direction Jof Fuart), and to the right leads path 627 towards Trbiška škrbinica (Forcella di Riofreddo). The path then turns slightly to the left and brings us to the entrance of a somewhat more demanding part of the path. Here the path turns right upward and some easy climbing on the rock is also needed. The path then turns slightly to the right and brings us to another somewhat harder part of the path. Here the path turns left upward and starts ascending along the steel cable. Next follows a somewhat low passage through a window and then again ascent along the steel cable. The path then brings us to a junction, where from the right from precipitous ledges joins path Anita Goitan. After a short ascent, we come again to a junction where we go right, left branches off path Anita Goitan. Next follows a moderately steep ascent on rocky and somewhat gravelly terrain. A little below the summit from the right also joins the northeastern path Gola Nordest. From here follows only a shorter ascent towards a very panoramic summit.

Along the route: Viška planina (1530m), Rifugio Corsi (1874m)
