Sella Nevea - Speleological bivouac Modonutti - Savoia (via 636 and 637)

Access to the starting point:
From Kranjska Gora, drive through the Rateče border crossing to Trbiž / Tarvisio. In Trbiz, turn left towards Bovec and follow the road to the crossroads near Lake Rabelj. Here, turn right towards the Nevea Pass / Sella Nevea. Follow this road, which is mostly uphill, to a large parking lot at the bottom station of the cable car leading to the Gilberti hut.
From Bovec, drive to the Predel border crossing, from which you descend to the Italian side. Just after Lake Rabelj, you will reach a crossroads where you turn left towards the Neveje Pass / Sella Nevea. Continue as described above.

Path description:
At the parking lot, turn onto the narrow asphalted road next to the Hotel Nevea. After walking along the road for about 100 metres, signs direct you to the left across a meadow onto a marked footpath (route No 636). The path soon leads into the forest, through which you then climb on a military dirt track. The forest becomes increasingly sparse and the path soon leads to the ruins of the Poviz barracks. The path then continues to climb and leads us to a marked crossroads, where we continue to the left in the direction of the Prevala saddle (to the right, the Rifugio Gilberti hut).
The way forward is slightly smother and becomes more and more scenic. Just a little further on, we come to the next crossroads. This time continue straight on the lower path in the direction of "Sella Robon" (right slightly up Prevala).
The path, which is relatively steep, continues across a vast plateau-like karst world, through which we are guided by an excellently preserved mulatier. This is followed by about 20 minutes of easy walking along the path, from which we have beautiful views of Jôf di Montasio and the Viš group on the left, and to the right towards Lopa, Hudemu vršič and later on the Velika Črnelska Špica. After a while, the path leads us to an inexpressible preval, from which the path begins to descend for a long time. After the descent is complete, we are lower by 150 vertical metres, and the path leads us to the edge of the high mountain cirque, where we are joined on the left by another path from the Nevejski Prevala.
The path continues to climb moderately and, in a few serpentines, leads us to the Vrh Laških brežičev lookout saddle (after the Italian Sella Robon), where there is an information board and, next to it, a table with two benches.
At the saddle, continue left (straight ahead Jerebica for 6 hours) and continue the ascent along a well-traced but unmarked path. The trail then crosses over a rather steep slope, then flattens out and leads to a number of military fortifications. These fortifications are bypassed on the left by a wide artificial ledge, and then there is only a short climb to reach the Modonutti-Savoia cave bivouac.
