Access to starting point:
From Trenta or Bovec we drive to the village Soča, where by the road we notice the church. The beginning of the footpath is 200-300m from the church towards Trenta, where by the road we notice signposts and a smaller parking lot for 2-3 cars.
Route description:
From the village Soča we head on the footpath following the signs Bavški Grintavec. The path already at the beginning starts quite steeply ascending through the forest and in a good half an hour of walking brings us to the mountain pasture or village Lemovje. Here the path first turns a little to the left past a few houses, then soon turns to the right and again starts steeply ascending through the forest. The path then turns to the left, where the steepness slightly decreases. Next follows crossing of steep south slopes below Kol (1924 m), which brings us to the hunting cottage on the mountain pasture above Soča.
A few meters above the hunting cottage we leave the marked path and turn left onto a poorly beaten footpath. The footpath then through a short stretch of forest brings us to the hunting observatory, where we continue right upwards. The path here runs on the right side of a grassy slope upwards. The path then again brings us into the forest and continues ascending towards the north. The footpath is here very poorly visible and slowly turns slightly to the right. A little higher, the path turns to the left and brings us out of the forest. From here there is a nice view of Vrh Leh (1958 m), which is entirely covered with dwarf pines. Slightly right of the mentioned summit a path is nicely visible (narrow strip without dwarf pines), which leads straight upwards. We then steeply ascend along the mentioned path. A little before we reach the ridge, a poorly visible path joins from the right, which crosses the slope below Vrh Ruš (1995 m). Here we continue left and on a narrow footpath cross the slope through dwarf pines. Soon we emerge from the dwarf pines onto a grassy slope and begin ascending towards a smaller saddle between the peaks Pri Banderi and Vrh Leh.
A little before the saddle we turn right and after a short ascent reach Vrh Leh.
