Tips
It's a rather eerie place if you think about the history of the mountain range between Krn and Batognica. The peak of Batognica was actually blown off by an accidental weapon depot explosion. Furthermore, the whole area is traversed by tunnels/mines used for fortification and tunnel warfare.

The traces of the war, which happened over a hundred years ago, are still omnipresent here. You can find barbed wire, grenade fragments, ammunition and see old bunkers and corridors. A somewhat depressing place.
