Access to starting point:
From Tolmin we drive towards Kobarid or vice versa, but only to the spot where signs for Kamno point us to the right (from the direction of Kobarid, left) over a bridge. We then follow a relatively narrow and ascending road in the direction of the village Vrsno and higher Krn. From the village Krn we continue in the direction of the mountain hut on the mountain pasture Planina Kuhinja. We park on a parking lot, which is located only a few minutes before the mentioned mountain hut (further driving is forbidden).
Route description:
From the parking lot, we go on the left lower road in the direction of the mountain hut Koča na planini Kuhinja. The path at first leads on the road which crosses a lane of thin forest and then splits into two parts.
The right path bypasses the mountain hut Koča na planini Kuhinja and is a little shorter, the left, which continues on the road, leads past the already mentioned mountain hut.
A little above the mountain hut both paths join again, and we continue the ascent on a gently sloping path in the direction of Krn. Higher, the footpath moderately ascends and over a panoramic slope quickly brings us to the near forest road which we follow to the left (straight on the footpath Krn). For some time we walk on the road, and we follow it to the first sharp right turn, in the middle of which signs for the chapel on Planica point us to the left (straight) on a cart track which soon changes into an old mule track. After a short ascent, the path passes into a dense forest and for a short time descends. The path then turns to the right and crosses some gullies and steep slopes, but because the path is wide enough it isn't very dangerous. The slope then flattens and the path out of the forest brings us on a grazing area of saddle between Planica and Pleče. On a wide saddle a worse footpath branches off sharply to the right, which leads to the top of Planica, and we continue straight and after 3 minutes of additional walking we get to the chapel on Planica.

Discussion about the trip Planina Kuhinja - Italian military chapel on Planica

Nice hike yesterday. We always lacked time to visit the military chapel on Planica. It has been renovated. We decided to go from Drežnica along the path to the junction for Krn. There we headed along the ridge of Kožljak. And descended pathless to the chapel. Then circular via another path to Koseč. Past the waterfalls and Koseč potholes to the starting point in Drežnica. Such hikes are quite long all-day but extremely interesting. Yesterday we saw some hikers heading to Krn from Planina Kuhinja. We met two not-so-young female hikers on the ridge of Kožljak. They were heading to Krn. Two wild roosters flew from the tree when we were descending pathless from Kožljak.
