About 5 km northeast of Bovec, the mountain river Koritnica has carved a wild gorge. This place was excellently suited to block the road from Görz (Gorica) through the Isonzo (Soča) valley over the Predil Pass.

The Habsburgs replaced this with a stone building in the 17th century, which was destroyed in the French wars in 1797.

At the last houses, a gravel road begins, which soon turns into a forest path. At a junction we take the trail to the left. At another signpost, a narrow trail branches off to the left, taking us over a short rock step to an asphalt road; beautiful view of Svinjak across the valley. At a bench, a trail begins that leads left uphill to the Plajer estate, 640 m. From here we follow the uphill Zgodovinska path, initially aiming for "Široki plaz". In the forest, we reach a junction at 790 m towards Fort Hermann. We cross a scree slope and after about 20 minutes arrive at another junction where we continue right. Then follows another gravel field, then we remain in the forest and after a long traverse reach the junction at 846 m of a path towards Na Robu–Rombon. On a partly
