Hello!

Notice for PD Jesenice leadership. On Bavski Grintavec the stamp is pulled out for over a year and also unusable...as instead of nice print only a smudge appears. Summit book three years old already totally full and waiting for new one!!! Time to fix this a bit.....Lp

Yes, and such "disgraces" are quite a few in our hills zmeden

Has anyone recently walked Planina Bukovec? Possible to get water there? Turbo 2009 writes water "is"; I wonder if it still holds.

On 8.8.2012 there was little water, cca half a liter per min. For me first the view, then stamp (any), summit book is or isn't.

On Friday I was on Bavski Grintavec from Zadnja Trenta. Up via Kanja, down easier. Summit book and stamp still unusable... Attaching a few photos. Lp!

They were incredible and climbed right below the summit...

Beautiful end of our country that enchants me again and again...

Today in Soča valley cloudy and start didn't promise much. Later fog joined among bushes and persisted high on screes into rocks. Towards summit sun shone and we enjoyed every minute. Stamp and full summit book still not replaced. Then carefully down all that scree, back to foggy valley.

when suddenly a shining landscape appears from the fog ...

I'm wondering which path you took up to BG and if there's any snow from Zadnja Trenta? Lp

lanževica23. 09. 2012 08:10:48

We went from the village of Soča. But at the summit, while talking to hikers who came over the Kanja saddle, we learned there's even some snow on the path. I assume it doesn't represent a big obstacle, but someone who went up that side recently would know best.

Thanks for the kind reply nasmeh

I waited a long time for this day to happen; this year I no longer believed it would. With my husband, we conquered Bavški Grintovec yesterday in all its beauty and solitude in the true sense of the word. At the top only one gentleman. The sun
literally scorched all day, but it was unforgettable.

But the path from Soča is the least attractive, so if this was unforgettable, what would you have experienced on other "variants". Try it. Otherwise sometimes even such useless paths can be nice, e.g. because of company or maybe nice weather.......etc

Yesterday... up via Kanja... down the direct route. Incredible, in one word. I didn't run out of adrenaline until I stepped back onto the scree under the wall... I admit. And I admit that before that at the top I was tempted to descend the easier route to Soča and hitchhike back to the car nasmeh

But with a great deal of caution on the descent, it went. Friability on this mountain is really incredible, every second hold wobbles. There are always narrow paths and even narrower passages, gravel slides and more... When I'm home today and writing this, I'm proud of myself because we always strive to achieve something more. And I achieved it with BG. At the top it was sunny, warm, without a cloud, with an occasional light breeze... so one really had to force oneself a bit to leave. nasmeh

And no crowds... The book and stamp are really in bad shape.

Which is more suitable for descent, via Kanja or direct? zadrega

Parkeljc25. 10. 2012 16:30:07

If you're not up for descending chimneys and pegs, "direct" is more suitable, but the scree you descend to the junction where it meets the one from "Kanja" is mildly nasty; and drags like .... guts! jezik

The most beautiful descent is along the ridge over Vrh Brda, then down to the former Planina Bukovec and to Bavšica nasmeh

On Saturday 29.6.2013 I was on Bavški Grintavec. We started from the end of Trenta, via Planina Zapotok, over Kanjski preval to the top. Cables over Kanjski preval are loose in some places, so great caution needed when climbing. The ridge quite crumbly, check holds every time before grabbing.
Weather excellent for ascent, we descended the direct easier path, it turned out there was still quite frozen snow there in some parts so we descended a section with ice axe, otherwise path very nice and scenic.
