Yes @dprapr, something like that, but in between you ask someone zmeden

. By chance @rozko and I went the same direction yesterday, I just stuck to her nasmeh

. Orientation is tricky, the path is there for a while, then it's gone, back again and so on, at key spots up to 50m off-trail, constant steep incline, no cairns. In short, alone I'd struggle hard to find the way to the hut. Further to Strelovec the path is well-trodden.

course to the distinctive rock where the path begins

approximate course of the path to the hut according to Utami

Even if I drew it, it would be similar to the text. nasmeh

Anyway, below is a better variant of access to the little path via the right arm of the rocky triangle.

This is one of those paths you remember mainly by the views on ascent and sparse descriptions. If you go first time alone, feeling guides most of it. Second time, memory guides where predecessors' tracks are invisible. Aha! That stone, that gully,...right on! velik nasmeh

Still one of the more magical paths for me.

19.5.2025 Črni hriber
Ten years passed since Stanko and I roamed in "Black". Time to repeat. Two more colleagues joined and we were equal for adventure. No crowds expected, as on Monday few walk here velik nasmeh

Some orientation troubles during steep ascent but we managed to fix all. Path hides more and more in vegetation, but we no longer have such good memory velik nasmeh

. Under Konj we rejoice at full trough of cold snowmelt. We refresh after strenuous steep ascent. Under Utami we sat a bit and gathered strength for continuation. On passage from Vratnega žleba to Strelovec still some snow, which is no obstacle. Can be tricky here early spring!! Strelovec soothes with greenery and walking becomes more relaxing. We strip to waist and pick ticks off each other. Colleague pulled tweezers from pocket knife and we had plenty of work to clean ourselves. Longer break in sun and Stanko used it to pick dandelions zmeden

Then descent to Knez farm. From here again hidden paths to avoid serpentine road as much as possible. We cut many bends, left some for lower part.
Added up to 17km walking.

The bench has stood lonely for long years waiting for hikers to rest a moment after the truly brutal slope

We brought many of them here. Though we removed some on the ascent too

Congratulations. nasmeh

At the pics the desire awoke to return to these rugged-mysterious slopes.

Great Zlatko&Co nasmeh

, maybe this post will finally push me to that long-planned exploration of this slope. jezik

Where do you find these ticks? I haven't met any yet this year. nasmeh

geppo20. 05. 2025 14:13:30

I answered all three:
It seems to me that following is harder than it once was. Already above the characteristic rock I went past and missed the traverse over the drop. We fixed it quickly and after a bit harder traverse found the path. Then it misled me before the characteristic rock because of trodden traverse right (chamois). Then return to the start, where we were still on the path and right away found the passage past that characteristic rock. From there no problems to the shepherd hut. Against ticks in the morning I smeared with home vinegar and sprayed, nothing helped. Only one participant had none. The other three up to 10 pieces. The whole path we picked them off with hands. At the end figuring out why he had none? Maybe because he smeared hands and head with sun protection...??

hočo20. 05. 2025 18:30:58

But this year there are ticks as many as you want. As soon as I stray off the markings I catch them. This year already 30+.

I sprayed myself thoroughly this morning (exactly with this) and nothing zavijanje z očmi

I have one spray at home by the shoes, another in the car trunk and the third in the backpack. After a few hours it probably loses power and no longer works.

I have been putting off this masterpiece for a long time, but yesterday I found myself in Robanov Kot and there was no way back anymore. zadrega

I go to Robanova planina once more through all your descriptions and pictures with key points in my memory jezik

, then I start along the gully to the characteristic rock and then further along the path, if of course you believe in this path when you are here for the first time. zavijanje z očmi

Of course I was often in doubt where I even was zmeden

, but by feeling I somehow get to the caves and the scree and then to the gully and already I see Roban's kingdom. velik nasmeh

Then came the continuation to the ridge and the fight with the dwarf pines eek

over Travnik to Krofička. I descend along the marked path to the junction and then turn to Strelovec and from there to Knez. I barely start walking properly along the road when an older couple addresses me, if I am driving with them to the valley and so I meet Mr. and Mrs. Matk. cool
