No, we planned the trip a bit differently, but it didn't quite work out, we'll do a retake exam nasmeh

.

We started in Baška grapa and climbed up the road to the village Kuk. Already on this path we could admire views towards Tolmin-Bohinj mountains with village Stržišče below them. We continued on cart track and paths further and crossed areas of Durnik, Krn and Stonbort once to the left, then to the right, all a bit over 800 m. So we arrived in village Kal, which yesterday seemed quite secluded. Apparently no permanent residents anymore, village comes alive on weekends and holidays.

After short rest we returned and missed path to Stonbort ridge, so circled it and came to saddle between it and Krn, where we noticed mark for entry to Drisenpoh gorge. Well, next time we'll know where this unmarked path actually exits. We continued on beautiful ridge path to top of Krn 868 m, where very top was completely in mist, path however led some meter aside. We descended to saddle between Krn and Stonbort, where it got complicated before summit ridge. Rocks stood completely upright, we tried cross summit path, but it was real slide on dry leaves and we left it for another time.

So we came back to village Kuk, where we found unmarked path left and thus descended through meadows and on quite stony path stepped on road near start.
On whole path we didn't meet anyone, but satisfaction from discovering new paths remained. We'll return nasmeh

Driselpoh Gorge-Kal-Stonbont-Krn-Kuk

Yesterday we did a beautiful loop above Baška grapa. We connected gorge, peaks and villages. This time very scenic overall, since through leafless trees almost the whole time we well saw also the surroundings that would otherwise stay hidden.
We parked in Baška grapa, near the entrance to DRISELPOH gorge. Walk through gorge is always a magnificent experience, path further past abandoned farmstead and waterfall view, likewise. Waterfall has in this time quite an abundance of water, much more than at first visit. For close viewing also a little jumping on rocks was needed, which still works for us nasmeh

. From here we then continued the path to village Kal. One part of the path we already knew from before, when we went just a little for sightseeing, yesterday however we found this path to the sign on the saddle, where it exits. We must praise the path that it is nicely followable, on two sharp right bends there are also signs, one indeed waiting a little for renewal of placement nasmeh

. For now it lies better.

Continuing on scenic wider path to Kal, from there still a little uphill above the village, so we had a better view. After shorter rest we continued further to nearby Stonbont and Krn, which both can boast beautiful, soft ridge path. From there the path led us under Durnik through village Kuk and over wonderful meadows back to start.
