Hi, who has walked this path recently?
Is the path passable and followable after this winter?
Thanks and best

This is how the first part of the path through the snow tunnel looks. Thanks to Matej for the pictures. From Bavšica towards the Bukovec hunting hut.

Hi Darinka,
did you go to the top? Is the path followable given the eventful winter?

Matej went from Bavšica to the top. I didn't go this year. What he wrote me is the first part where you go through the snow tunnel. Above the snow there's a bunch of fallen trees. And you don't know if it will hold your weight or collapse. Then from planina Bukovec no more problems. This first part is probably quite adrenalizing. No other path than under the snow tunnel. Then for a while up the gully over boulders, then to the left side of the gully to the little path. To planina Bukovec it's overgrown. But he wrote it's mown on planina Bukovec. This variant isn't really recommended. Especially it's long. Last year Marijan and I were there and there was no fallen stuff anywhere. And also on descent from Mali Grintavec you need to be careful because of scree on the path and not miss the markings and then get stuck somewhere. And it's long too. And days getting shorter. At least in my opinion from Soča it's easier. This snow tunnel is over six meters high. And the grasses there are usually very dewy.

The path from Bavšica to BG is still officially closed, at least that's what PZS writes. I wouldn't go this way according to what's written and visible, if there's a nice followable and passable path from Soča. Good luck.

Darinka, from Bavšica to BG there's only one path that splits higher up. So we're talking about the same path over Tesen mežikanje
The problematic section is between Bavšica and pl. Bukovec.1

I meant the path that turns right under Kanja saddle. There under Pihovci. Then you reach Vrh Ruš, Vrh Brda and over Mali Grintavec to Bavški Grintavec. This path is long but without scree and cables

11.9.2021. We went with Maksi. But not to Bavški Grintavec. To Mali Grintavec, over Vrh Ruš, Vrh Brda. In the first part pushing through fallen trees. Through a snow tunnel. And to the Bukovec hunter's hut. Further at the junction for Kanja saddle where the path is closed due to landslide. There's also a faded sign there, where the path branches right to Mali Grintavec. Markings are traceable all the way. Although barely visible in places. When you reach the saddle the view opens to the peaks. Loška stena, Mangart. Montaž and Viš were visible yesterday. And then all the way along the ridge to Mali Grintavec. Nice weather. Enough walking for Maksi. We rested on the summit and descended the same way. Where rain with hail caught us. Then in the last part of the descent we had rain all the way to the start. Nice solitary hike. Didn't meet anyone. On Bavški Grintavec two hikers were visible.

1.10.2021. From Soča we went at seven in the morning. Behind us another hiker. Jože from Medvode. We had almost the same walking pace. All three of us went to the summit together. Chatting on the way the hours flew by. At the entrance to the gully we put on helmets. Left the poles there. Great views from the top. Warm. Almost no wind. Jože says goodbye. Me and Maksi stay a bit longer on top. No rush. On the descent in the gully we meet another hiker. He says the walking tired him out. But he'll persist to the top, hasn't been up there for twenty years. Nice interesting hike. For the handful of us who were up yesterday.

Loop around Bavški Grintavec/2.10/2021
We heard that from oral tradition it emerges that the Bavšičani on the day before little šmarn walked on foot from Bavšica to Trenta, where they slept over and went to the holiday mass in the subsidiary church of Loreto's Mother of God (Soča parish). MI2 have long wanted to do a loop around Bavški Grintavec and the day came when it was time to realise the wish. The day before we took the bikes to Zadnja Trenta, and in the morning we drove to Bavšica. We started at PUS, the path from Bavšica is such that it deters most hikers from continuing already at the start, only true adventurers go further. To the hunter's hut in Bukovec the path is everything but a path leading to one of the most impressive peaks in our vicinity. Further from the hut the picture is completely different, enjoyable and fairytale-like all the way to Kanski preval (2030m) where we crossed to the Trentar side with views that make you fall down. For the descent to Trenta we go a few metres along the marked path in the direction of the shelter under Špička, but since we like to explore and walk pathless we quickly leave it and follow goat tracks and pathless terrain through scree (not recommended). Everything was OK up to point 0,, where the unknown chamois path on the precipitous rock turns upwards. MI2 didn't want to gain elevation, so we searched lower along the edge of sheer rocks,, followed something like a path and descended right towards the stream. Back to zero,, we searched for a passage above the pools in the tributaries, found something like an old path on scree terrain where we descended to the stream and even through fallen trees to Planina Zapotok. We go slowly and then accelerate to Zadnja Trenta, pick up the bikes and pedal off. In Trenta we treat ourselves to a coffee and continue towards Bavšica. If we disregard the scramble in the scree, the hardest was the bike ascent a bit from Kluž to Bavšica,, in the end we can only say crazy, crazy craaaaaazy beautiful.

Bavški Grintavec is another beautiful peak in the set of those “obligatory” ones, at least if you're doing the extended SPP, but even without that it captivates you when you see its mighty appearance from Zadnja Trenta.

The info on the direct route was detailed enough, vivid and generally OK, worth trying. The trail to Planina Zapotok is interesting and picturesque, technically without special features, markings visible, some pegs and cables nicely spice it up. Higher up, you enjoy views of Pelce, boulders and of course the peak above you. Markings fade midway, but the fork for the direct route and Kanja is clearly visible. From there left on the direct, over scree and some easy scrambling to the Kanja fork all fine, at its exit you see that the latter really isn't a joke, then soon the reason why the path is officially closed and will likely remain so.

Rockfall is still very active, the entry area to the wall is mostly smooth, but with some skill you can cross to a more “safe” area. Leave the question of how to get back for later, especially since the difficulty increases. In the lower part the cables are good, two a bit loose, but it goes BP. The narrow passage past the first corner is best to climb over (they say you can also squeeze through somehow), the smooth slabs with cable are the easiest part of everything, the incised notch at 3/4 of the path a good challenge. With some free climbing over the rock you're back at the cable, higher up it feels like half the mountain will collapse under your feet despite careful steps. Very crumbly, also exposed, objectively dangerous due to falling rocks, especially for anyone below. On the summit nice views and quite a few people, except three all from Soča, most prefer there. The descent path along the ridge is even a tad harder, requires additional caution, focus and hope that no one else is ascending, because rocks fly down by themselves. Especially the crossing back over the few-meter notch is not exactly easy, same for climbing down beside it, and at the end, when you're almost safe, a substantial piece of the wall stays in your hand.

The path to Bavški Grintavec from Florije is in my opinion one of the tougher secured paths among ours, suitable for experienced mountaineers with some appropriate mileage, due to considerable crumbliness, damage to the ironwork, falling rocks and some scrambling the last 150-200 vertical meters are objectively dangerous and rightfully closed. Simply too much of everything that something can go wrong towards the end, if someone still goes after the conditions calm down or in dry conditions I recommend descent to Soča. A minor minus for this time is that the path mostly runs in the shade. Overall quite an adrenaline tour, outweighed by the beauty of BG and its neighbors and solitude.
