Circular hiking trail to the Goričica Mountain pasture

This undemanding hiking tour starts and ends in the centre of Bovec. It starts ascending at the very start and quickly gains altitude. At several sections it offers splendid views of Bovec and the Bovec Basin. The most difficult section of the ascent is already behind you when you reach the hunting lodge on the mountain pasture. From here, the trail mostly gradually descends into the valley, mainly along the former Italian military road – mule track.

This trail starts (and also ends) in the centre of Bovec. In the centre of Bovec turn uphill to the left, pass the Church of St. Urh and just above the Kaninska vas reception point, turn to the hiking trail leading to Mt. Rombon. The trail is initially routed through the forest and continues to the last farms where the area opens up. Here, the trail winds between the boulders, however no section is exposed. Although the altitude here is still relatively low you can already admire the Bovec Basin below. When you overcome the rocky section of the trail you will turn uphill again through a nice beech forest which grows almost to the hunting lodge on the mountain pasture. The highest point of the tour is located a few metres above the hunting lodge, which is why we recommend you to take time for a longer rest and enjoyment on level areas in the vicinity of the hunting lodge. After you have rested, continue along a short gradually ascending slope west of the hunting lodge and enter a wonderful pine tree forest where you follow the former Italian military mule trail. This mule trail is initially almost level and later gradually descends. At the point called Na vrh robu the trail turns and starts descending diagonally along the area called Strmokres to a vast beech forest beneath the Planja paragliding take-off point. There are numerous forest skidding trails and roads. Find the marked Kanin mule trail which you follow to the main gravel road towards Station B of the Kanin cableway. From this junction on, follow the gravel road which joins the paved road towards the village of Plužna. Continue along this road to the centre of Bovec where this tour ends.

Leave the national road No. 203 at one of the roundabouts in front of the town of Bovec and turn to the centre of the town.
