Jerebica, Mountain summit in Julian Alps, Italy and Slovenia

Jerebica is a 2,126 meter peak in the Julian Alps located on the border between Italy and Slovenia. The mountain displays three steep rocky faces and forms part of the Kanin mountain range extending across this Alpine region.

Mountain paths through Val Rio di Lago and the Možnica valley have served as crossing routes between Italian and Slovenian territories for many centuries. These traditional passages shaped cultural and economic exchange between the two regions.

Hikers from Italy and Slovenia regularly visit this peak as part of their mountain traditions. These cross-border journeys help connect local communities across the Alpine region.

Two marked routes lead to the summit: trail no. 653 from Jezerska dolina (973 m) via Mirnik takes about 3½ hours, while the approach from Možnica (598 m) takes 4½–5 hours. Other starting points are Log pod Mangartom and Rabelj (Tarvisio). The southwest ridge carries the border and links to the main Kanin group over the Čez Brežič saddle (1,699 m).

The northern side drops in steps to wooded summits on the ridge that ends at Predel (1,156 m), not to Lake Predil. The mountain's southeastern face falls into the Možnica valley, while the northwestern face drops into the Jezerska dolina. Its southwestern ridge, along which the border runs, links to the central Kanin group via the Čez Brežič saddle (1,699 m).
