Access to starting point:
First, we drive to the center of Bovec, where we head up the road that goes past the church towards Kaninska vas. We follow the road further and it soon brings us to a crossroads, where we continue straight. The left road descends into the village Plužna. The road then quickly brings us to the next crossroads, where we continue right in the direction of Rombon. Further, we drive to the spot where the road crosses a torrent (near the parking lot and beginning of the path are signposts and a well).
Route description:
We start at a well, where blazes point us to a footpath (not on a cart track), which initially ascends through a thin forest. After 15 minutes of walking, the path enters a dense forest, where it then continues moderately ascending. The path, which crosses some old military mule tracks, brings us after a little more than an hour and a half of walking out of the forest onto grassy slopes, over which we ascend to the mountain pasture Goričica in a few minutes, where a hunting cottage stands.
Here a view opens up towards the mountains located south of the Bovec Basin, and we continue right on the path, which in a few more minutes brings us to a junction. We continue on the right (lower) path in the direction of Rombon (left Črnelska špica), which after some light steps brings us to the spot where there once stood a military hospital - ruins (to the ruins we have some 10 meters, and the memorial plaque is just a few meters from the marked path).
The marked path here turns left and crosses the last strip of forest. When we then step out of the forest, we will notice numerous military trenches on the right side (on the opposite side we notice a cross). The path ahead ascends on an already very worn-out mule track and leads us past numerous war remains. The path then levels out and brings us to the spot where a view opens up on Rombon.
We continue right (straight Rombon) on the path, which in 3 minutes brings us to the summit of Čukla.
Starting point - Planina Goričica 1:45, Planina Goričica - Čukla 45 minutes.

Good hike, interesting, went mostly off-trail. Nothing on path.
Gost24. 04. 2007
How to go off-trail? From where? I'm interested. Thanks.

I'm interested too. But this tour surely isn't suitable for winter, as days are so short. What do you think?
IgorZlodej1. 11. 2010
The tour is suitable for winter too, especially as it's on sunny side. After pathless section to Čukla summit below top part, from marked trail at left bend turn right, then "slab" to top. Alternative from "cemetery" right, find abandoned trail crossing entire south slope of Čukla, ascend from east. Depends on conditions, icier more slip risk.

Anyway, I'll try to find this shortcut.cool

I was on Čukla, path is a bit steep but beautiful yet strenuous, nice in summer but start early morning before heat, also worth to Rombon which is 1h further walk,nasmeh

The path to Planina Goričica is trodden, further on not. Unfortunately I didn't find the path further from the planina, otherwise I would have continued to Čukla. Gaiters highly recommended, the snow is crusty.

Today we were up on Čukla,,actually via the southern ascent (due to the wonderful view of Bovška kotlina) and back via the normal route,,,there's still quite some snow,,but nothing that prevents getting up there,,

The path starts quite steeply, to Koča Goričice practically every rock and tree is marked. Then obviously the markers ran out of paint and onwards to Rombon we are lucky if we find some faded marker, but the path across meadows is followable.

Somewhere halfway we cross a nicely preserved and used mule track, which is not marked on any map; I'm curious where it starts and where it leads?
haridautovic19. 07. 2020
The mule track crosses the entire slope of Rombon, but it is partially destroyed, overgrown and difficult to follow from the landslide onwards; it leads to the marked path from Kluže to Rombon at 1500 m.a.s.l. It starts on the road from Bovec to Gozdec and station B of the Kanin cable cars, through the forest along the mule track towards Planina Goričica. Above the planina it continues towards the landslide; after a few minutes of walking, it brings you to a wonderful viewpoint towards the Bovec basin. If you are not an experienced off-trail hiker and have trouble with orientation, I do not recommend continuing the path.

My colleague and I went (probably on this one you mentioned, wini) from Planina Krnice all the way to the hunting hut on Goričica. In the forest it is perfectly traceable. When crossing grassy areas it is quite overgrown and difficult to follow. Especially where there was a fire a few years ago. But it has nice views and we really enjoyed this path.
