Hello again!
The trail is behind us now....
Where to start... with the weather, which the forecasters predicted completely opposite to what it was for the whole of Saturday and part of Friday...
At the start of the trip, there was a small mistake because we drove further to Vogar instead of turning to Planina Blato... after 11 km of driving (the last 4 km catastrophic), we arrived at a small spot where one car was parked and the signpost pointed to the path to Viševnik... so we parked it there... the path to Viševnik was very steep from that side but all the more wonderful; at the end of the path, we met about 100 sheep and the view of the Viševnik plateau was wonderful... below was the shepherd, who explained to us in a very friendly way how to take a shortcut to Dedno polje so that we did not have to make a detour to Planina pri jezeru, where we were supposed to arrive from Blato... at the same time, he told us that we were lucky to have missed Blato because of that we came via the wonderful path to Viševnik... from Dedno polje, a wonderful path awaited us over Kopica... the path ascended and everything was getting nicer and nicer... the path led us to Vratca, where there was a wonderful view of the neighboring peaks and the fog and black sky in the distance over Prehodavci... up to here the sun shone on us, then further snow and fog... the path over Hribarice was not too tough but not easy either, at least not in that weather... it is true that it dragged on to Dolič, and when we spotted the hut after the descent and turn from Hribarice, we could hardly wait to warm up because we arrived there at 18:15... so the path took us about 8 hours with all the stops for photos (over 200) and enjoying nature...
At Dolič, only 9 of us slept over... some wanted to head to Triglav the next morning, but the conditions were very bad... very strong wind... quite a bit of snow fell overnight (over 30 cm in some places) and very cold weather (quite a few degrees below zero)... we headed again over Hribarice, where there was a lot of fog and wind... but it was a slightly better feeling because we met about 10 people to Prehodavci, unlike the previous day when we met maybe 2 persons... after getting through the harder part, we descended past all the lakes to the double lake... continued over Prode to Viševnik, where the host was very delighted to see us... inside the hut, there was a real party .. 2 accordions... cheerful company, some kind of trumpet... we stayed 20 minutes inside, where they played a farewell song for us and we said goodbye... to the car 15 minutes before dusk... all in all 9 hours of walking with stops... lunch etc...
In short, the trip was wonderful, the weather on the second day was very bad... poor path markings..
For example, from Dedno polje to Dolič I noticed the Dolič sign twice, while 7J was written about 10 times... also when returning from Dolič, we apparently made a loop almost to Prehodavci past the lakes and then there was a sign at Zeleno jezero for Hribarice straight up 45 minutes, while we needed 1.45 h for that loop and when we were above Prehodavci we did not notice anywhere, say, 7J straight down, and so we made the loop accordingly and we were not the only ones... however, everything happens for a reason... that's why we went past all the upper lakes, photographed them and enjoyed nature... we met one chamois somewhere in the distance on one of the screes... for example, when we went over Prode, there was no sign anywhere for the path over Prode but it said Hotel Zlatorog, and if you don't know that you go over Prode there, you have to ask someone... also Planina Blato was not written when we drove to Vogar and further, but only Planina pri Jezeru... but never mind... the trip was wonderful... I'm still thrilled by the mountains, views, photos... this has to be experienced... really top-notch... we'll definitely return to the hills... if anyone is interested in some pictures, they can write me an email and I'll send some...
I could write and write and there would be no end... the new boots performed excellently... even better performed my better half, who excelled greatly and I'm really proud of her
In short, thanks to everyone for all the advice you gave us... I know that next year I'll definitely go on another similar trip... maybe a bit less demanding, because we walked approx. 16 hours in total with all possible detours
Safe travels
