Belšek Pasture
We checked it out when descending from Račke vrata. We decided that when we finish in the ridge of Raduha, we'll go to the other side of the road. Last year we found the passage to the abandoned hut on Bevšek Pasture with some difficulty. Part of the path quite exposed!!
When we descend from Račnik farm we drive to Bevšek farm. We park right by the road where it turns to the farm. Behind the farm we go along the forest track high into the forest. We walk the track for a while, then decide. We go into the steep ridge. It's quite steep. Soon we rejoice at the visible path coming from our left. It's quite followable, but occasionally lost in the leaves.
We climb, climb, the steepness never ends. Until we reach vertical walls. Nicely done path leads right by the vertical walls. Finally, familiar water spring. We drink ice-cold water and repair the wooden trough.
The descent is now known to us. Nevertheless, in the most critical part we miss by a few meters and get into trouble. We have quite a few problems to negotiate the exposed parts of the path. A beech root saves us, serving as a hold, because the steps are
Then below us we spot the track. We sigh in relief, shake hands.
Ascent wasn't difficult, descent quite difficult. Even though we're used to many things.
Cck. three hours for the loop from Bevšek farm to the abandoned hut and back to start.

And is there any more trace of the hut on the former
pasture, which is probably more forest now?

Slowly everything is overgrowing and nature erases traces. Look at photo no.9 and you'll see the rotting barn. The approach paths are also slowly disappearing and in places traceability is already quite difficult.
If you want to find the connection with the traverse that leads to the Poljšak pasture, you already have to know where it runs, otherwise you won't find it.

We parked at 7 at Iglja.
Over the suspension bridge to the other side of Savinja. Wet bridge boards are very slippery in the morning. We climb steeply, carefully due to wetness. In between we visit a hidden cave, which is about 30m above the path. Where the path swings steeply down towards Rjavčeva luknja, then directly up. The steepness is quite substantial and at times exposed.
We can breathe a sigh of relief when we reach the ridge, which is quite "elegant" at the beginning.
Elegance doesn't last long and you have to spit in your palms honestly. When a rock block of about 500kg rolls in front of me I would light one (if I had it).
The ridge offers all possible variants that we encounter on pathless terrain. When it allows, we look across the Kačjak gorge and forge plans for continuation. The difficulty of the ridge increases with height. When we reach the ridge from which we descended two years ago from Slanic, we decide to traverse Kačjak. We cross a bit lower under the Slanic wall. Numerous gullies are on our path. The closer we get to the other side of the gorge, the more familiar it seems where we will end the crossing.
Of course, everything suddenly seems very familiar to us. We reach the spring at Belšekova planina. After about 5 hours of strenuous walking we take time for a snack and refreshment with ice-cold water. We descend the already known path. But, in the lower part we decide to cross Kačjak also in the lower part. This succeeds elegantly for us and we are already on the path leading to Rjavčeva luknja. We decide to do the crossing through the hole (no battery needed). After exiting the hole, still a steep ascent and we are where we went our own way in the morning. Another half hour of traversing, descent and we are back at the suspension bridge (14:40)
Nice exploratory tour. Everything connects with hidden paths that are overgrowing and abandoned. In between they get lost and some effort is needed to connect everything again...
regards

Interesting view of Igla.
That ridge looks good on picture 20.

Those ridges were proper ridges. Nice and wild world, good job. Very interesting find of a petrified trout..., I'll tell more about the find later...

Mushroom picking in Kačjak
Original plan: morning mushrooming. But it quickly turned into quite serious mountain climbing. We park at the quarry and into the first gully. We found some milk caps quickly, nothing substantial though. It pulls us into the gully which we follow steeply. Then we switch to a vegetated ridge that's getting steeper. Surprisingly, there was a cairn before the ridge? We eye the familiar ridge on the left that we climbed on 16.5.2017.
We forget the mushrooms and look for a new path. Higher than the one we took in May, we find another. Is it a chamois path or an old abandoned hunter's?
It runs right along the walls of Slanic. Some climbing at the gully crossing not spared for us. Milan climbs with the mushroom basket
We reach Belšek Pasture and now the descent is well known to us. The lower we go, the more various mushrooms. We pick some morels and a boletus. Still plenty of space in the basket...
No worries, again something new we discovered that morning.

Geppo, sorry, but I have to correct you. The correct name is Bevska planina, not Belšekova, as you write. From the ruin, which was once a shepherd's hut, climb straight up (when you're up there again), and you'll reach Bevski rob, from where a quite demanding chamois track takes you under the walls of Križevnik. There "where your heart desires". Lots of options. If you're lucky, you'll find the bivouac in Zijalka, which was used by Šaleški alpinists many years ago. Now it's abandoned. The fact that I know all this is also a coincidence. When I was five years old (my father died when I was four) and mom was forced to take over the pasture of Bevska livestock on Bevska planina to survive with me and my two years younger sister. The woman who pastured the livestock was called Majerca in Solčava. Since while tending the livestock (I was only five years old) I had a lot of time for myself, I got to know the beauties and dangers of this once beautiful Bevska planina and its near and far surroundings. It was the year 1955.

That year I was for the first time on Križevnik and via Polšek planina back to Bevska planina. Upon arrival to mom I was also beaten. She probably didn't know where I was for six hours. Nor did I. For orientation I imagined Račka farm and survived. With a stick on the butt it was "no big deal", though it hurt badly. I repeated that route once more when I was twenty-five years old. But then I didn't get away so cheaply. I wasn't beaten though.

That bivouac under Križevnik is still in use. Sleeping in it is a special experience.
But as far as I know, it was never much visited, because it's quite a way to it, and nothing easy above it. But you can start climbing Resnikovo there directly from your sleeping bag.

I don't know routes in that terrain. I've been there only twice. And even now I don't fully know where I walked.
