Cuel dai Pez - 1943 m

The Naborje Mountains have some wonderful nooks and one of them we discovered right before the snowfall nasmeh. We chose the fairly unknown peak Cuel dai Pez as our goal, unjustly overlooked in the crowd of others. The summit is an excellent viewpoint and full of remnants from the First World War.

How did we hike? We parked in the Kanalska Valley next to Lužnica and chose path 604 for the ascent. On it we steadily gained height towards the ridge to Bela Škrbina, or the junction with connecting path 649. Here we turned right and continued all the way to the foot of our peak. There are no markings on Cuel dai Pez, just a poorly trodden little path, occasionally marked with red dots. No major difficulties anywhere. From the summit we descended along the approach route.

Our aim was to make a circular variant and thus cover that part of connecting path 649 that remained from previous stories in the Naborje Mountains. Right there the biggest surprise awaited us velik nasmeh. This section is exceptionally beautiful, scenic, full of military remnants and interesting passages. Full praise to the maintainers for really great work. They cut out huge amounts of scree, cleaned the trail, newly equipped the safety gear and provided reliable passages over the rocky spots.

A bit of advertising that Sentiero Battaglione Alpini Gemona, or CAI 649 definitely deserves. It runs all the way from Poldašnja Špica ( Jof di Miezegnot ) to Sella Bieliga. Altogether it's over 17 km of more or less ridge path. Hiking on it is pure pleasure, markings and protections are arranged. It runs in high mountains, due to the soil composition subject to constant erosion and requires appropriate mileage in such terrain. In 2018 it was fully passable without special problems. Highly recommend nasmeh.

Conclusion. From Sella Bieliga we returned to the start via path 603 and thus closed the loop. The whole circuit came to 18 km and 1500 m elevation gain. More in the photo story …

Starting point Lužnica ( Bagni di Lusnizza ) … 46°29"51.8'N 13°23"04.5'E

Cuel dai Pez - 1943 m The crossing was made easier for us by deeply frozen sandstones.15
Cuel dai Pez - 1943 m Previously the passage ran right under the rocks, now it has been relocated a bit lower.16
Cuel dai Pez - 1943 m Cavern from the first war.17
Cuel dai Pez - 1943 m The view inside reveals a network of trenches, but due to the cold we didn't explore it this time.18
Cuel dai Pez - 1943 m Winter reality. There was no snow yet, but the cold was quite palpable.19
Cuel dai Pez - 1943 m We were lucky with the weather. Most of the time we were just below the fog cover.20
Cuel dai Pez - 1943 m Exposed crossings are well secured.21
Cuel dai Pez - 1943 m The slope of our goal this time ... Cuel dei Pez.22
Cuel dai Pez - 1943 m The path to the summit is poorly visible, faded markers help on dubious passages.23
Cuel dai Pez - 1943 m Hoarfrost also joined us, which whitened the brush from the south.24
Cuel dai Pez - 1943 m Team at the summit25
Cuel dai Pez - 1943 m Our shelter for a snack. Although unheated, the difference in cold perception was noticeable.26
Cuel dai Pez - 1943 m We go on. We set out to explore the remaining part of connecting path 649.27
Cuel dai Pez - 1943 m Part of Sentiero Battaglione Alpini Gemona CAI 649. In this area a mighty military settlement is hidden.28

Cuel dai Pez - 1943 m Part 64933
Cuel dai Pez - 1943 m On the Pomol34
Cuel dai Pez - 1943 m Here a wide mulatjera used to run. Further on it is visible that they mined a substantial part of the slope for its construction.35
Cuel dai Pez - 1943 m Continuation36
Cuel dai Pez - 1943 m View back37
Cuel dai Pez - 1943 m The trickiest passage, without new protections it would be quite annoying here. In the past there was a wide bridge here, its foundations still clearly visible.38
Cuel dai Pez - 1943 m The gully between the bridge foundations is unprotected, nor is it particularly exposed.39
Cuel dai Pez - 1943 m With new protections the ascent from the gully is easy and safe.40
Cuel dai Pez - 1943 m Also immediately ahead there is a prepared step and safety cable. The slope here is steep and precipitous with unfriendly ground.41
Cuel dai Pez - 1943 m View back to the mulatjera that soldiers built into the solid rock.42
Cuel dai Pez - 1943 m Some parts are still very well preserved.43
Cuel dai Pez - 1943 m View back44
Cuel dai Pez - 1943 m There was also a bridge here. The logs have long ago decayed, now ladders replace them.45
Cuel dai Pez - 1943 m Descent on one side of the bridge ....46
Cuel dai Pez - 1943 m ... and ascent on the other side47
Cuel dai Pez - 1943 m Another former bridge, restored here more or less to its original shape.48
Cuel dai Pez - 1943 m Inscriptions are restored, the coat of arms is probably original.49
Cuel dai Pez - 1943 m Crossing the last bridge50
Cuel dai Pez - 1943 m Pleasant, soft promenade :)51
Cuel dai Pez - 1943 m And we reached the end of path 649. Nearby lies Nemška planina.52
Cuel dai Pez - 1943 m Towards the saddle Bieliga53
Cuel dai Pez - 1943 m At the saddle. We chose variant 603 towards Lužnica54
Cuel dai Pez - 1943 m During the descent an interesting feature: four strong separate streams over barely 100 meters55
Cuel dai Pez - 1943 m Monte Scinauz which we hiked the day before56
Cuel dai Pez - 1943 m Dobršen section of 603 is a gravel road in lower part specifically steep57
