Highest mountain in our country
|
| edd26. 04. 2011 13:43:33 |
I'm interested which mountain in our country would be the highest, if we didn't measure it by sea level altitude but by the terrain above which it rises. In that case Everest isn't the world's highest mountain either. Which would have the most impressive height if you stood at the foot of the mountain? Thanks for answers

In the world maybe McKinley, with only 6192 m rising above Denali park plains ~700 m, thus 5.5 km (Everest above base camp only 3.5 km).
For home ones we could argue, because Kanjavec above Zadnjica doesn't look so massively impressive

To argue: Kanjavec above Zadnjica is only 1570 m above Zadnjica, or 1949m above Trenta. Surpassed by Grintovec 1957m above Dom in Kamniška Bistrica; Jalovec 1993m above Log pod Mangartom, Mangart 2029 m above Log, Krn 2064m above Volarji, and Kanin 2127m above Bovec.

You measured them well
But Kanjavec hits them hard with wall height, doesn't it

You forgot Triglav from Zadnjica or Trenta: 1870 or 2250 m.

In school we learned that there are three valleys below Triglav, namely Vrata, Kot and Krma. Does anyone perhaps know if that's true?

It's true, and all are of glacial origin carved in characteristic U-shape in cross-section, glaciers reached all the way to Upper Sava Valley or the Sava Dolinka river.

Given that some claim Triglav summit is coastal, they might stick to Piran Bay - Summit, 2864 m difference

So there are really three valleys below Triglav? I think under Triglav is Vrata valley, the second closest is Zadnjica valley, third and even fourth are Kot and Krma, which are quite far from Triglav and in my opinion not really under Triglav. But I wonder why Zadnjica wasn't and still isn't mentioned as a valley under Triglav??? It really appeared in public that Triglav summit is in Tolmin municipality. Now they supposedly found out it's in Kranjska Gora municipality, but given that the complete land cadastre of today's RS was made under Empress Maria Theresa, I wonder what findings need to be sought now? Everything is on paper! Coasters certainly won't insist that Triglav summit is coastal, that the second closest valley under Triglav is Zadnjica, a look at the map suffices! And by the way, coasters also have nice and high mountains, even in Julian Alps! Really no need for cynicism, let's be realistic and - honest! No hard feelings!

On Musala, the highest peak on the Balkan Peninsula, I saw two calculations of altitude, relative to the nearby Aegean Sea and relative to the Baltic Sea, and a few meters difference. Does anyone know how that is?

Očak summit is the tripoint of municipalities: Bohinj, Bovec, Kranjska Gora. Each takes its own share of it, the largest being exactly Kranjska Gora's.
Tolmin is out

Not long ago there were only 60 municipalities in Slovenia. Then the Tolmin municipality included also today's Kobarid and Bovec municipalities, and thus part of Triglav. By the way, then the tripoint on it was of other municipalities than today.

According to this one could even more say it's the Jesenice one.. But it never was either, of course.

Let's leave aside now in which municipality the Triglav summit is. No way can one municipality own it - which it's leaning towards now... It bothers me personally more - why isn't it mentioned as the second closest valley under Triglav, Zadnjica valley? There is also a relief (from pre-WWII time)- cut off a bit below Luknja and Kanjavec! That relief is in the new mountaineering museum in Mojstrana. Never mind, it's history... If I may, isn't Primorska in Slovenia?

Yes, Zadnjica is surely a forgotten valley precisely because of ''inaccessibility'' – I mean closeness to Ljubljana.

Maybe it's really like that, or maybe it's a bit different...

Zadnjica is normally accessible from LJ. And it's by no means a forgotten valley. One hour and forty minutes' drive according to the rules, and you're there over Vršič.  Triglav is ours, right?

I'd complement atoamac's post regarding the elevation gain for the Kanin ascent. Years ago I took on this challenge and went to Kanin (via Planina Baban) from Žaga, which planimetrically is much closer to the V. Kanin summit than Bovec. To emphasize the elevation difference even more, I went down to the Soča riverbed in Žaga and officially started the ascent there. The elevation difference was 2250m. So approximately the same as from Log in Trenta to Triglav. In my opinion, the ascent to Kanin from the Soča valley represents one of the biggest challenges regarding elevation gain among all mountains in Slovenia.

Gorenjci will never admit this to you; everything highest must be linked to Triglav and from their side  . Ultimately some went so far as to trick that poor guy into nixing the last chance to renovate the former barracks because it's 5m higher than Kredarica .
