Today we couldn't afford the time for a longer drive to the starting point, so we set off on a hiking tour to the nearby Karavanke. Dovje were already basking in the sun in the morning and it promised a nice day. We parked on a small parking lot at the hydroelectric plant. At the starting point there were about two centimeters of new powder, no tracks on the path. The views that open up several times along the way are wonderful, the dry snow also increases with altitude. The hard, partly icy base is not bonded, so it's a bit slippery occasionally. About 15 minutes before the Dovška Rožca pasture, sudden fog engulfs us  , and suddenly we find ourselves in a deep drift. We struggle with postholing for a while, but when it went up to the waist, we didn't like it at all anymore and turn back. We go a little back and then up a fairly steep slope that was quite wind-packed, straight up to the pasture. Fog persists, can't see anywhere, no wind to disperse it anywhere, so we decide to return after a short rest. We barely put down the backpacks when an unexpected turnaround: fog miraculously clears, sun peeks out, views open up and of course we go to the top. Some places wind-packed, elsewhere we postholed a bit again up to ca. 15 cm snow, strong wind on top, so we just snap photos and return to the pasture where we treat ourselves to a short break. Back we went part of the path along the snowy road, then along the approach direction. Snow in the lower part of the path greatly reduced in a few hours – across the screes of Bela peč it's practically bare, from Goreljše pasture downward the path was already quite muddy in places due to thaw. Really nice day  .

Well, from today I also know how grandpa feels if he 'lies on Baba and looks through the hole into the ass all the time'.

Yes, podromk, you know who said that 'originally'.
To Lbelska I'll come too, no worry.
sunshine, my dear and I parked shortly above Dovje (at the power plant - sign for Baba), so I don't know ...

Volk, you really do wonderful photos, especially the third one. As for Babas, there are apparently really more in our mountains than Grandpas. Haven't been to all yet, but to six already, Grandpas only two so far in my list of summits. Happy trails.

A bit late but anyway sunshine. By car it was possible on Thursday to reach križiška, where the path branches to Plavški rovt. Further the path is trodden and driven by snowmobiles and skiers

Despite the sunny morning we went without
gorgeous views today, as fog awaited us at the top. But we enjoyed the views of the narcissus-filled meadows all the more. Great trip and easy hike.

It misled me a bit, because you wrote "today", but no snow on pics, which should be there after yesterday's snowfall. Then I opened the pics and saw you were up there on 14.5. not today.

Sorry about that. Since I usually write on the same day, I wrote it purely automatically. Thanks for the heads-up

Definitely nicer in summer when you lie in the grass and smell the flowers. View was super as seen on pics. Happy trails!
