Dom v Lepeni - Mali Šmohor

Access to starting point:
Between Trenta and Bovec, at the village of Soča, a road to Lepena branches off. We follow this fully asphalted road to the parking lot at the Dom v Lepeni mountain hut.

Route description:
From the Dr. Klement Jug House in Lepena we continue on a wide marked path in the direction of the Krn Lakes. The wide and not too steep path splits into two parts after a few minutes of walking. The left one, which is somewhat steeper, is the usual way; the right one, gentler and somewhat longer, is suitable for small children and the elderly. Both paths mostly ascend through the forest to the upper station of the cableway and cross each other several times along the way. From the upper station of the cargo cableway we continue on the same path, which gently ascends along the wide transport road that quickly brings us to the snow height measurement (every year in April). From here the road starts to descend and takes us past the turn-off to Velika Baba quickly to the next junction, where we leave the road and continue left downhill on the footpath that brings us to the Dom pri Krnskih jezerih mountain hut in a few minutes (if we continue on the road, we bypass the mountain hut).
From the mountain hut we continue straight in the direction of Krn and Krn Lake on a gentle path to which the path bypassing the mountain hut soon joins. We continue past the shepherd's hut, behind which we reach the next junction, where we continue left in the direction of Komna and Mali Šmohor (right to Krn). The wide and gentle path then directs us right in the direction of Mali Šmohor after a few minutes of gentle ascent (straight to Bogatinsko sedlo and Komna).
Further we first continue across a small meadow, after which the path leads us into the dwarf pines. After a short ascent through the dwarf pines the path brings us to the old partly overgrown military mule track, along which we then ascend over increasingly less vegetated slopes. The pleasant and little-visited path, along which we can observe numerous remains of the Soča Front, brings us in a moderate ascent below the steep walls of Mali Šmohor. Here, due to the danger of falling rocks, it is recommended to put on a helmet. Further we ascend transversely across the scree, at the end of which the path turns left onto the grassy slopes. Along the path we then again notice numerous war remains (trenches, shovels and other iron, which is neatly stacked). The path then ascends to the summit ridge, where it turns right and brings us to the summit after a short ascent.
