Čemšenik - Baba

Print
velkavrh3. 03. 2012 14:17:38
Spring is awakening and it's time to start building fitness for the two-thousanders. So I decide to do a shorter hike to the Čemšenik hut and onwards to the 1129 m high peak Baba.

I park at the outflow of the Čemšenik stream into the Kokra and at the bridge head into the Čemšenik stream gorge along which first on the right side and at the end also on the left side runs a pleasant little path that leads us to the path above. At the bridge on the left side under the overhanging rock there is a nice resting corner with benches. From the road above the entrance to the gorge is not marked. In a good forty minutes we are at the pleasant Čemšenik hut. Right behind the hut to the left is the path to Baba. This is an unmarked pleasant path to a lesser known peak in the vicinity of the more known Potoška gora, Javorjev vrh and Jakob. The path is well arranged, partly a bit steep. From the hut to the top of Baba we made it in forty minutes. Just before the top we come to a quite large bare plain with a pleasant holiday hut even with a WC. Then one more minute uphill and we are on the Baba ridge, where there is a little box with the summit book - no stamp. The path was dry. In snowy conditions winter gear and good knowledge of the path is needed.

heh, I was also (partly) on this path here, just didn't go to baba but then from cemsenik hut to javorov vrh. Met a middle-aged gentleman while ascending, on the way back 2 guys with bikes on shoulders, I think descent towards preddvor followed nasmeh. It was nice and the path was practically dry, at least to where I went. Didn't go further to cjanovco (was too late) started from kokre at 14.45 nasmeh

Friend's night shift limited us today, so no chance to dash somewhere much highervelik nasmeh. And Mojca knows the warden at Čemšenik hut, so we finally decided-idea was to circle around here for quite some time back-to go this timejezik. More for maintaining fitness and finding some new peaks we haven't been to. Some visitors at Čemšenik, at Baba haha, just usnasmeh, except weekenders in the lower hut. If we had time-yeah, but night shift called againmrk pogled-we'd go to Javorjev vrh too, which unlike Baba doesn't offer such nice views. Path is steep in some parts, gotta say, but all the more scenic and wonderfulnasmeh...and of course easy to follow, though not marked. In such nice weather you forget the steepness, all effort rewarded at top with great view to yeah, hopefully reached this year Grintovec, Kočni, Kalški greben and Krvavec with Zvohnasmehmežikanje. Around here there are quite a few such "humps" worth visiting, though true nothing markedeek. Anyway, today was nice, even though we weren't that high. Maybe midweek it'll be completely different....yeah, I wish...From my mouth to...where was it...GOD'S EARSnasmeh.

And have a nice upcoming work week, and to those going higher safe and sound.
warm colors everywhere... and sun pleasantly warms, almost like summer :-)1

That's how it was here on Thursday 6.9. Nice short trip from Spodnja Kokra to Čemšenik Hut and on to Baba. Hut open on weekends.

Trip for those who want peace and quiet in the mountains. velik nasmeh No time this time, unfortunately, to extend to Potoška gora and Javorjev vrh.

Early hour, golden hour - yesterday it held true, so we caught some sunshine, and blues in the distance, no frost, no wind either. At Čemšenik Irena and Vili took care of sweet refreshment, delicious cottage cheese struklji with strawberry topping, recommend nasmeh Snow on Baba and further along the ridge still plenty - sinking up to mid-thigh, the path is normally passable, especially no ice or slippery.

On Sunday first time to Čemšenik hut, which has no connection to Čemšenik pasture in Zasavje. From Čemšenik hut onwards to Baba, then partly on the new panoramic path. Some roses, unfortunately foggy on Sunday. Offer at the hut excellent. Thanks to our little rose for the new trip...

Yesterday first time on Babanasmeh, but will have to go there at least once more, for the views of coursenasmehnasmeh. But it was nice anyway, although the views of the burnt area were sad. From Čemšenik onwards we did a circular tour, since at the top of Baba we continued on the panoramic path and looped it at the junction to Javorov vrh. We also changed the descent to Kokra compared to the ascent. In between nice views into Čemšenik stream. Next time along the ridgenasmeh Can't waitnasmehnasmeh!

We were also on Baba on Saturday via the panoramic path, 14 of us. I was there for the first time in June, the weather similarly a bit gloomy, but still happy with the well-spent day. The forecast for Sunday was worse, but obviously a bit better. Really sad to see the fire site, thanks to the firefighters' efforts... The panoramic path is nice, you need to be quite careful. We'll repeat when there are better views. Total 13 km, 700 m elevation. Service at Čemšenik hut excellent, portion of struklji for the whole table.... The guide did great with the tour.

Yes, Polona today much nicer. Although, if an hour ago I looked towards those hills, all closed in. At least from here it looked that way.

lilyd, you're right. Weather was forecasted nicer for Saturday than Sunday, then exactly the opposite. Interesting, same path same day, you probably in the morning, us in the afternoon. Maybe sometime somewhere we meet againnasmehnasmeh.

On Sunday after a long time we climbed up to Baba, which had dressed itself in a white coat during our absence nasmeh The track was trodden, so it was a bit easier, conditions winterly of course. No crampons needed, nor did I have them with me. Gaiters were useful on the descent. At Irena's on Čemšenik we ate a well-deserved Sunday lunch, then pleasantly full and tired we headed back to the car nasmeh
