Plockenpass - Monte Floriz

Access to starting point:
From Trbiž/Tarvisio we head onto the highway towards Udine. At the settlement Carnico, we leave the highway and first follow the signs towards the settlement Tolmezzo, then signs for Austria and the mountain pass Pso di Croce Carnico / Plöckenpass. On the Italian side of the mountain pass, we park on a large parking lot.

Route description:
At the parking lot, we go on a narrow road following the signs for Rifuggio Marinelli (path 146). Already after a few dozen meters, we come to a junction where we go right onto the military mule track, on which we then ascend through sparse forest and meadows below the steep slopes of the mountain Creta di Collinetta (2238m). The military mule track turns into a footpath and soon we also come to a junction, where the path to the mentioned mountain branches off to the right. We continue on the left path, which continues slightly ascending through the meadows. On a smaller plain, the path to Cresta Verde (2150m) branches off to the right. We continue on path 146 towards the Marinelli hut, to which we have a little less than two hours. Here the path becomes somewhat steeper and ascends through slightly overgrown dwarf pines and high grass. When we come out of the dwarf pines, the path becomes more level and the path to Creta di Collina (2659m) branches off to the right. Here, while crossing quite steep slopes, we start to descend and some fixed safety gear helps us. This is followed by a descent through a natural window and crossing steep slopes covered with nettles, which brings us to a junction. The right path leads to Cima di Mezzo (2713m), and we continue on the left path towards the hut. The path starts ascending again through the meadows and a little before the hut we come to a mountain road that is closed to traffic and from which a view opens towards Monte Coglians. The road soon ends and to the hut only a few minutes of steep ascent remain.
From the hut, we continue left on path 174, where we first ascend slightly on a grassy ridge. A short descent follows and then the last ascent towards the summit.

Along the route: Rifugio Marinelli (2122m)
