Access to the starting point:
We drive to Trbiz / Tarvisio, which is just a few kilometres after the national border on the Italian side of the Rateče border crossing. Trbiz/Tarvisio can also be reached from Austria, where you must first drive to Bialystok/Villach and then cross the Thori-Coccau border crossing to Trbiz/Tarvisio. In Trbiz / Tarvisio, follow the signs for Udine along the old road (not the motorway). Shortly after Trbiz / Tarvisio, you reach the village of Ukve / Ugovizza, where you turn right into the centre of the village. In the middle of the village you come to a stream, where a paved mountain road turns up alongside the stream. Follow this road to a crossroads where you go straight ahead (right), and just after this crossroads you will come to the next crossroads, where you go left. Follow this road, which is mostly asphalted, to the rifugio Nordio hut, where you park in the parking area next to the hut.
Path description:
From the parking lot, take the road to the left, past the dilapidated Nordio hut. The road starts to climb moderately and leads in curves to a place where it is exposed to falling rocks. Caution is needed, despite the net protection that is placed slightly above the road. It is best to leave this part as quickly as possible.
After this, cross the stream and continue climbing northwards to the crossroads. Straight ahead is the road to the Lom saddle, and to the right is the direct route to Ojstrnik. We turn right onto the path marked 407, which leads to Ojstrnik. After a short descent, the path crosses a stream and then climbs steeply through the forest. Soon the path from the Lom saddle joins us from the left.
The path continues to climb through a rather dark forest. The steepness then eases and the path leads us out of the forest to the pastures at mountain pasture Bistrica. Then it is a ten-minute walk across a gently sloping meadow to the houses at mountain pasture, which we can already see in front of us.
