Mt. Krasji vrh (1,773 m), a mighty sightseeing hill above the Soča Valley
You continue towards the west and descend along the grassy ridge. The sign board directs you to the remnants of the former artillery positions from World War I which are well-worth visiting. After crossing the mountain slope for approximately 20 minutes you join the official trail towards the starting point. Initially, you cross the grassy slope and then descend through the beech forest to the junction where you turned right during the starting ascend. From here, you descend back along the trail you came from to the starting point Pri koritu.

Continue along a somewhat less friendly rocky terrain which ascends at the end and takes you to the top of the mountain. All of your efforts are repaid with wonderful views of the valley, the Adriatic Sea, Julian Alps, Carnic Alps and the Dolomites Mountain range which open in case of nice weather.
You return along a grassy ridge towards the west. Along the trail you also descend to the former artillery stations where you cross the slope to the junction where you turned towards the Snežna jama Cave during your ascend.
