Hiking Trail to Mt. Globočak (809 m)

Mt. Globočak is an 809 m high hill on the Kanalski Kolovrat Ridge. During the battles of the Isonzo front this hill was one of the most important fortified Italian peaks on the Kanalski Kolovrat Ridge because it provided a good vantage point overlooking the Soča Valley and the Banjška planota Plateau. Nowadays the view from the top is blocked by trees.

Along the trail and on the top of the hill you can visit the remnants of World War I: caverns, trenches, troughs and water reservoirs. On the top of the hill you can find a memorial and a box with a register book and a stamp. 

In the village of Kambreško you can visit the ethnological monument of local importance "Lukčeva hiša" House which houses an ethnological collection of photographs and artefacts from World War I, a tool collection and a preserved kitchen with a stone fireplace. Below Kambreško you can freshen up in the pools of the Idrija River. In the village of Srednje you can find a Church of the Holy Trinity from the 19th century, whilst along the road to the village of Ročinj you can admire the 29 m Savinka Waterfall with two smaller waterfalls (one above and one below). 

You can start the circular tour to Mt. Globočak in Kambreško or in Srednje.

A: Starting point Kambreško

Start the tour in the village of Kambreško in the vicinity of the monument to the National Liberation War where the sign for Mt. Globočak will direct you onto a side road ascending through the village. This road ends above the village and you will have to continue along the grass-covered cart track until you reach the sign for Mt. Globočak from where you will have to follow the same signs all the way to the top. When you reach the top, descend towards the village of Srednje and continue to Kambreško.

B: Starting point Srednje

Start the tour at the beginning of the village of Srednje. Follow the signs for Mt. Globočak directing you onto an ascending narrow paved road. When you reach the bend, turn right onto a marked footpath, which will, after you overcome a gently ascending section, start ascending steeper and steeper through the forest. When you will arrive higher, the footpath will gradually descend and then start to gently ascend again to the main ridge of Mt. Globočak where the footpath joins the trail from Kambreško. From there continue to the left and you will soon reach the forest-covered top of the hill. 

When you reach the top, descend towards the village of Kambreško and continue to Srednje.

Drive from the city of Nova Gorica or the town of Tolmin to the village of Ročinj and follow the sign for the village of Kambreško.

If you start the tour in the village of Srednje you have to turn right at the intersection in Kambreško and continue to Srednje.
