Access to starting point:
A) From the road Tolmin - Kobarid, a little before Idrsko, the road to the village Kamno branches off to the right. We head to the mentioned road, then, when we arrive in the village, we follow the signs for Vrsno. From Vrsno, where the birth house of Simon Gregorčič stands, we continue on a narrow and steep road to the village Krn, where the road splits into two parts. To the left the road continues towards the mountain pasture Kuhinja, and we continue straight towards Mrzli vrh. We park above the last houses in the village, where there is a nicely arranged smaller parking lot, with space for 4 to 5 cars.
B) We drive to Kobarid, then continue driving towards Drežnica. Immediately after the bridge over the river Soča, we turn right in the direction of the villages Ladra, Smast, Libušnje, Vrsno and Krn. When we get to the village Krn, we continue straight (left mountain pasture Kuhinja), and we continue to follow the narrow road to a smaller arranged parking lot, which is located above the last houses in the village.
Route description:
From the parking lot, we continue on the road alongside which we parked, and it already splits into two parts after a few steps. We continue straight in the direction of Mrzli vrh and continue on the initially still wide cart track, which gradually turns into dense forest. Higher up, the signs for Pretovč, Mrzli vrh and Puščavnikova jama direct us left onto a wide ascending path, to which a less trodden path from the mountain pasture Kuhinja soon joins. The path soon turns right and then ascends diagonally through the forest. A little further on, we arrive at Puščavnikova jama, to which we have only a few dozen steps from the marked path.
We continue through occasionally somewhat sparser forest, and the moderately steep path leads us to a forest road, which we follow left in the direction of the mountain pasture Sleme (right downhill to Mrzli vrh and mountain pasture Pretovč). Only a little higher we arrive at the next junction, where a path from the mountain pasture Polog joins us from the right.
We continue again in the direction of the mountain pasture Sleme, and the road, which begins to ascend more steeply, leads us into a belt of dense forest. Higher up, we exit the forest and the gradually less steep road brings us to the mountain pasture Sleme.
