Drežnica - Italian military chapel on Planica

Access to the starting point:
From Tolmin, drive towards Kobarid or vice versa, but only until you reach the point where the signs for Kamno direct you to the right (or left from Kobarid) across the bridge. Follow the relatively narrow and ascending road towards the village Vrsno and higher up Krn. From the village Krn, continue in the direction of the Hut at mountain pasture Kuhinja. When you reach a large parking lot near mountain pasture Kitchen, continue slightly left and follow the dirt road for another 200 m, then park in the free parking lot at Koča na planini Kuhinja, which has space for about 40 cars.

Path description:
Before Koča na planini Kuhinja go right in the direction of Krno and continue along the first gently sloping, then occasionally steeper path, which leads us along the vast grazing slopes interspersed with a few grazing fences. Higher up, the path climbs moderately and quickly leads us over a scenic slope to a nearby forest road, which we follow to the left (straight along the Krn footpath). Walk along the road for a while, and we follow it to the first sharp right turn, in the middle of which the signs for the chapel at Planica direct us left (straight) to cart track, which is soon followed by an old mulatier. After a short climb, the path enters a dense forest and briefly descends. The path then turns to the right and crosses some ravines and steep slopes, but as the path is wide enough it is not particularly dangerous. The slope then flattens out and the path leads out of the forest to the grazing areas of the saddle between Planica and Plečany. On a wide pass, a faint path branches off sharply to the right, leading to the top of Planica, and we continue straight on, arriving at the chapel at Planica after 3 minutes of further walking.
