Circular trail: Prebold-Gradišče-Reška planina-Žvajga-Prebold

Print
KlemenD25. 02. 2019 20:34:58

Yesterday (24/2/19) I quite by chance discovered and walked the following circular trail:

Dom pod Reško planino – Brdo – Reška planina – Strnik – Planinica – Tolsti vrh – Žvajga – descent to Prebold - ascent to the Gradišče ridge and along the ridge to the summit – Potoški hrib – Dom pod Reško planino.

The trail is a combination of marked and unmarked paths (also off-trail), which here and there offers nice views far around. True though, most summits are overgrown. On Reška planina, Žvajga and Gradišče there is a stamp.

In the end it added up to about 22 km and 1500 elevation meters.

Short Sunday afternoons are perfect for known nearby hillocks. In the described circular from Prebold I skipped Potoški vrh and hut, but added the easternmost part of this ridge (as viewed from Žvajga, not shown on the map). On Reška planina paths are nicely newly marked. Towards Gradišče quite a scramble down the unmarked ridge path and then the known ascent. Dvoglava Planinica in real life is not particularly prominent as it looks from the highway, also the elevation to Strnišče is much more than if skipping it from Tolsti vrh. Towards Trbovčku some logging but it doesn't bother the path. After four hours I wanted to check Prebold directly past the ruins as geppo described somewhere, but knees said enoughzavijanje z očmi

Reška circular path along ridges

Such a name would be for today's Saturday tour!
With Janyij we tackled a similar feat to the one described above "contra".
We parked behind the bridge at Druškovič and ascended the eastern ridge to the summit which is probably unnamed... unmarked approach. From this summit we descended to the saddle and then climbed to Žvajga 626m asl (unmarked). In between we treated ourselves to good old cognac. Whose bottle is hidden in a tree hollow (unmarkedvelik nasmeh). Continued along the ridge past Počivalnik to Tolsti vrh 756m asl (marked to Počivalnik, no more after that). The next summit we visited is Strnik 846m asl. To it leads a "path" rutted by cyclists or wild boars? (unmarked)
Descended past Železnikov's weekend house and along the railway to the Reška planina ridge (unmarked). Continued to the end of the ridge, which then very steeply descends to Laznik and ascends to Gradišče (marked ridge until the path descends to the Hut on Reška planina). Continued along the Gradišče ridge past Podbregar (marked from Podbregar to half the ridge). Followed the entire Gradišče ridge to a very steep descent to the starting point, where we had the cars parked.
We tried to stick to the ridge "paths". Walked it in 5 hours, a little more than 10 km and over 1100 m of elevation. No crowds despite the exceptionally warm day for the season and we met no one.

Morning +2C and nice sunny morning
Park at Druškovič and then along the ridge to unnamed peak. From there to Žvajga and along the ridge further to Počivalnik. Continue along the ridge to Tolsti vrh 756m asl. Descend to the saddle connecting the ridge and to Strnik 845m asl. Past Železnik's hut along forest road to Lipovšek. Descend to meadows below the road. Potoški hrib (peak 734 m asl) I skip and descend very steep ridge to Škarje. From there some asphalt and done in 4 hours/cck. 11km at start.

I didn't know that Gradišče (763m) offers such a nice climbable ridge and hidden circular trail... Really nice spring weather. lp
Below compact rock; first pillar bypassed on the right side, which is easier (see picture 6)1
Key spot - grassy chimney, steeper than it looks (can bypass on the right)2
Below the summit we can optionally climb a mini III3

That part where you roamed I haven't walked yet. My gaze wandered right to the rocky crags jutting between the trees. I noticed that when descending directly from Reška planina and then past Laznik to Gradišče. But I was always in a hurry and never turned right from the ridge to check closer. Saved it in memory. No devil, I'll go wandering around here sometime...

Today after a long time repeated the variant
Druškovič - unnamed peak - Žvajga - Tolsti vrh - Strnik - Reška planina - Gradišče - Druškovič
The only difference: I didn't do the ridge descent from Reška planina (descended to Dom pod Reško pl.) and from Gradišče descended my own way. The variant to the end of the ridge (direct to Druškovič) would be better, even though very steep. Encountered quite nasty steepness, which was much longer than direct from the ridge.
So still better the marked path or to the end of the ridge and then steep descent, which isn't as long as the one I did today.

Cold trip, just under 6 hours in good company. From Druškovič to Druškovič. Direction direct to ridge - Podbregar - Gradišče - past hut and along road to saddle between Škrabarjem and Reška and then back to summit on marked trail. Descent characteristically past Strnik, Tolsti vrh and both Žvajgas and steep back to car. Not too much snow, most idyllic on north side of Reška planina, frozen and trodden quite good. Direct (off-trail) to Reška we skipped due to sliding. Our nearby areas are beautiful, just need to take enough fitness always with youmežikanje Well, today it held without issues.

Second first and short pathless terrain is a habit, even if the schedule is so tightnasmeh So I went for a walk on Gradišče. Slightly changed the approach directions on the ridge to explore something new. And on the way back checked the walls on the left side in the ascent direction. Really nice here. Some idea will probably be realized this month if it stays dry. Safe into the new year!
Nice view, the wind tossed me like a fly on glass.1
Looked if there's a cuckoo somewhere, probably already flying ahead of me :)2

Some snapshots from the outing Prebold - Žvajga - Tolsti vrh - Strtnik - Reška planina - Adijev bivak - Dom pod Reško planino - Prebold.
The walked path is normally passable, only on the section from Adijev bivak to Dom pod Reško planino very slippery.

Best, Tadej

Except the first ascent to the first Žvajga (per map) or unnamed peak, the whole path is normally passable and well marked.
It was a nice warm day, almost no hikers on the pathjezik, friendly at the hut with varied offer.
