Tolminske Ravne - Tolminski Kuk (via planina Razor)

Access to starting point:
We drive to Tolmin, then continue driving in the direction of Žabče and Zadlaz (the turn-off from the main road is located on the left bank of Tolminka). When we arrive in Žabče, at the smaller junction we continue slightly right in the direction of the settlement Zadlaz. In the settlement Zadlaz-Žabče the road temporarily descends, where it crosses Zadlaščica over a bridge, then again starts ascending steeply on a narrow but all the time asphalted road. After approximately 12 km from the main road we arrive at the marked parking lot in Tolminske Ravne, where we park.

Route description:
From the parking lot, we head onto the path in the direction of the Koča na planini Razor hut and Planina na Kalu mountain pasture. Initially, we walk on a cart track that continues from the nearby house and leads us across a panoramic meadow. On the other side of the meadow, we cross a grazing fence and the path brings us to a marked junction, where we continue on the lower right cart track (slightly left Planina na Kalu).
Further on, we walk on a cart track that slightly descends to the right, then levels out and continues for a few minutes without major elevation changes. After the concrete trough, the path splits once again, and we choose the left steep path (the path that continues straight also leads to Planina Razor, but it is longer and technically undemanding).
The path ahead resumes ascending, ascending mostly to the right, only here and there making a hairpin turn. Higher up, we move onto steeper slopes, a little further onto an exposed but—except for the first few steps—well-secured ledge. When the traverse ends, the path temporarily returns to the forest, through which it ascends more steeply, then we step out of the forest and the path levels out. From here follow a few more minutes of walking with nice views of the mountains rising above the Zadlaščica river basin, and the path brings us past the cheese cottage to the Koča na planini Razor hut.
From the hut, we continue in the direction of Globoko, Vogel, Vrh nad Škrbino... on the path that crosses a strip of forest, then splits on a gentle grassy slope.
This time we continue straight in the direction of Vrh nad Škrbino and Dom na Komni (right Vogel, Globoko and Črna prst), on the path that turns slightly to the left and further ascends a slope overgrown with dwarf pines. After a few minutes, the path temporarily levels out, then north of the indistinct summit Kopecko, after a shorter moderate ascent, brings us to the next junction. We continue left in the direction of Škrbina saddle (right Vrh nad Škrbino - south path). The path soon after emerges from the dwarf pines onto interesting slopes, where on our right side we will notice steep rock slabs that form an interesting wall for climbers, which is not overly steep. The path ahead ascends transversely across the scree to the Škrbina saddle, located at 1910 m.
When we step onto Škrbina, a nice view opens onto the Bohinj side, and at the junction we continue left in the direction of Kuk (right Vrh nad Škrbino, straight down Dom na Komni and Vogel ski slope). The path ahead begins a transverse ascent across steep slabs, then both the path and the slope level somewhat. The path ahead passes under the shorter wall of Vrh Kont, then begins gently descending across occasionally steeper scree. The path ahead on the Primorska side also crosses Podrto goro and Mali vrh, then returns to the main ridge of Spodnje Bohinjske gore, reaching it right at the saddle between Mali vrh and Zeleni vrh. From here we continue in the same direction, only the path shifts from the slopes onto a locally exposed ridge. We follow the marked path, which occasionally ascends quite steeply, then with ever nicer views, all the way to the grassy Zeleni vrh.
From Zeleni vrh we descend along the marked path that begins descending more steeply to the west. The slope down which we descend quickly narrows and the path brings us to a narrow and somewhat exposed ridge. Here the path levels out, and we quickly reach the saddle, from which we begin ascending towards Tolminski Kuk. Above the saddle awaits a short steep ascent, then the path reaches the ridge, along and beside which we ascend to the highest peak of Spodnje Bohinjske gore.
