From Matkov Kot to Logarski Kot

Driving towards Logarski Kot with wipers on. I park in Logarski Kot and pick up my colleague. We drive to Matkov Kot.
One car in the parking lot, owner still sitting in it, probably waiting for nicer weather. We quickly pack and zigzag between raindrops through Matkov Kot. During the hike we jump over a dead poisonous viper in the middle of the path.
Past the renovated hunting hut and into the steep slope. Already at the start the world stands upright, it's steep...
We crawl directly towards the ridge and search for more "normal" passages. On the ridge the sun shines on us. Without special difficulties we advance towards Savinjek. Not always quite along it. On some parts we avoid rubble and the impassability of the ridge. Soon we crawl to Savinjek, where we treat ourselves to a snack and a short rest. Descent and passage to Red Turn is partly hairy again. Fallen trees hinder us a bit and I manage to miss the grassy ledge to M. window, which is key for this approach we used. Cut rubble misleads us a bit and we end up too low. We won't correct the mistake and head to Turns. We climb the highest peak and enjoy the beautiful scenery of surrounding peaks.
We descend towards LK in Zabrložnica and via hidden variant continue part of the descent. In between we refresh ourselves with ice-cold water springing from under mossy rocks.
In the lower part part of the path has eroded and if you don't see the detour, you're in trouble?!!
After a bit less than 9 hours of walking we sit at the table in Logarski Kot and treat ourselves to a refreshment after a quite strenuous hike.
(thus we connected two adjacent glacial valleys on foot)

A bit late, but I'm adding some pics. It was a super trip along a ridge completely unknown to me.
We had been arranging it for a long time, but in the end the tour was realized in a moment. nasmeh

I think, however, that the expert didn't miss the turnoff to Matkov window, but gave me the task to return soon and explore part of the beauties above Matkov and Logarski Kot myself. nasmeh
