Nevejski preval / Sella Nevea - Monte Cregnedul (unmarked mule track)

Access to starting point:
A) Through the border crossing Rateče we drive to Trbiž / Tarvisio. Just before Trbiž we turn left towards Predel or Bovec and follow the road to the crossroad before Rabeljsko jezero lake. Here we continue right towards Nevejski preval / Sella Nevea. On the saddle, we can park on a macadam parking lot below the smaller ski slope on the right, Viški side.
B) From Bovec over Predel we descend to the Italian side. Just a little after Rabeljsko jezero lake at the crossroad we continue left towards the saddle Sella Nevea / Na Žlebeh.
C) From the road between Videm and Trbiž in the settlement Kluže / Chiusaforte we turn into the Reklanica valley to the pass, past the lower station of the gondola cableway and the turn-off for mountain pasture Pecol to the ski slope on the left side of the road.

Route description:
By the road, we will notice several signposts, which mark path 625 towards the mountain hut Corsi. We ascend by the ski slope on a poorly beaten footpath which brings us to a macadam road which is ascending on the right side of the ski slope. For some time we are then ascending on the road, and then blazes point us to the left into the forest. After a short ascent, we come to a crossroad, where we continue right on the path 625, and left a path branches off towards the mountain pasture Krni dol / Cragnedul and further towards Pecol and mountain hut Brazza. The path is then still ascending through the forest and brings us to a crossroad, where another path branches off to the left, which leads towards the nearby mountain pasture. At the altitude of 1624 m we encounter ruins. Here we leave the marked path 625, which runs right further towards the saddle Passo degli Scalini (2022 m), and we follow a well-beaten path – mule track into the slopes below Špik nad Špranjo / Modeon del Buinz and later into the side ridge Planota. Unmarked path gently zig-zags over extensive grassy slopes, where in the summer it is a real heaven for lovers of flowers and photographers, and usually there are also many ibex. The mule track brings us to the side ridge, crosses it and along it by the remains of military structures brings us to Krnidolska škrbina (around 2320 m), from where the nearby peak is easily accessible. Right below the notch is a cavern with a window. On the notch our path joins the marked ferrata Ceria-Merlone, on which we can to the right via ladder descend into Škrbina Prednje špranje and to the mountain hut Corsi below Viš, to the left it starts an almost horizontal crossing of ledges, which brings us in less than half an hour to Špica v Planji (2411 m), later also below the sharp ridge of Nižnjih vrhov to the notch La Val, Špik nad Špranjo (2558 m) and Špik nad Nosom (2531 m).
Right from the cavern we look for the easiest passages and in a couple of minutes we reach the panoramic summit. On it there is a larger cairn.
Pathless ascent to the summit (3 minutes) is one level harder than walking on the partly ruined mule track.

Along the route: Planina Krni dol /Casere Cregnedul di sopra (1511m), ruševine (1624m), Krnidolska škrbina (2320m)
