Bovški Gamsovec

The path via Luknja is dry.
In Vrata, I waited for sunrise and moonset. Then I went past the bivouac to Luknja. A bit above it, I observed chamois, who fought half in jest and half seriously for the strongest spot. The path further to the summit was without special features. From the summit, I continued to Stenar. nasmeh

I also climbed Bovec Chamois this morning. Conditions through Luknja are without peculiarities as described by the previous one, views were excellent in the morning, later peaks started shrouding in fog. Ran into a herd of chamois resting on grass below the summit. More in photos.

What's the condition like towards Kriški Podi?

PFranci27. 06. 2016 09:03:06

Some snow, which due to the smaller incline shouldn't be problematic.

On a beautiful Saturday the decision was made to go for the first time this year to Vrata and Luknja to Bovec Chamois. At three a.m. from home and at four a.m. with headlamp to Luknja. Parking was full. Then fireflies were visible from all accesses to Triglav-Prag, Tominškova and Luknja. Luknja brings the upper morning. From afar young voices heard and at the top of Luknja a group of youth already noisily banging. From Soča side. Goal Luknja top. To Triglav over Plemenice climbing secured path happily. I head right to Bovec Chamois. No chamois on path. Saw females with young. Under Gamsovec summit capital males lazily lying ignoring hikers. Path marked, slightly wet, high grass in places. Rocks dry, protections perfect. On summit many gathered enjoying boundless Julians. Lost in peak names, won't name them.

We soon encounter the first fixed cables.

At first the path runs through mountain pastures full of flowers.

They are not afraid of people, they barely step aside from the path.

Break before the summit to enjoy these beautiful views.

On the summit I am not alone. A small group was enjoying themselves here, which somewhat surprised me. They come up here from Kriški podi.

Right below the summit someone else is enjoying, they don't let themselves be disturbed - they really are kings of these heights.

Here you just sit on the warm rock and soak in this beauty. I love the Julians.

Then descent to Kriške pode. The descent is also well secured.

Perhaps a couple more pictures of Gamsovec from Kriški podi.

Yesterday on Bovec Chamois. Up from Stenar direction, down to Luknja. Early afternoon not many hikers on summit anymore. Path surprisingly exposed but well protected. Especially awkward right at descent start. Also to Luknja airy at start with perfect protections; wet could be very unpleasant. Otherwise nice peak with chamois on both sides.

Yesterday on circular route repeat visit to Bovec Chamois, which offers nice views already on the path, summit spacious, covered with soft grasses and panoramic, no exaggeration dreamy. True, not for the dizzy.
Otherwise yesterday quite cold day, north wind blowing did not allow long enjoyment on summit, let alone lounging.
Ascent via Luknja, return through Sovatna.
On path interesting random encounter nasmeh

rockfall below Luknja, probably from last October

view of the start of the pathless approach to Pihavec

from the summit towards Stenar, Križ, DŠ, Škrlatica, with a peek into the cirque in V kotlu

landslide in Pihavec, therefore closed path

very instructive information board, also for me

Hello,

I'm wondering if anyone has visited Bovec Chamois in the recent days and could report on the conditions?

Thanks!

Today's goal of the trip to Gamsovec was photographing chamois. I counted on herd above Luknja and herd in Sovatna. They were only above Luknja but still nice.

Up past bivouac to Luknja, down through Sovatna. Path completely dry to summit, continuation through Sovatna has some snow patches from lower parts down, bit more demanding only snow patch in slope to middle of Sovatna (about 20m).

Below saddle at Kriški podi also followed bear. nasmeh
