...this isn't the Himalayas, but alongside Triglav our national or mountain symbol! mežikanje

Signposts or those arrows are nowadays almost everywhere, on the least important hills... and can be very useful on such paths, because they lift the information a bit off the ground, and rain doesn't wash them away either... nasmeh

OTIV!
For types like you, definitely not!

@velkavrh I remembered, if I'd had a rope with me, I could've made a belay for crossing the snowfield under the notch too. Lucky there was passage under the snowfield, but I'd cross it above anyway if not below, cuz even in the wall you're not sure if the piton will hold, crumbly terrain. From Vršič the path is less crumbly, from Jalovec summit to Kotovo sedlo it's much crumblier, most dangerous if hikers below or above you, so better wait sometimes. On the path to Kotovo sedlo you have to be careful and watch where all the marks are, path goes zigzag all the time and some narrow ledge in wall can mislead you quickly.

Nice tour you've done, congrats to all nasmeh

I was also on Jalovec today with a friend. Started from Vršič over the Goličica wall to the summit. Views excellent! We descended past the shelter and back to Vršič. Met the aforementioned young people and can only congratulate them. Otherwise, I fully agree with the predecessors who criticized the work of the path markers-maintainers on Jalovec (PD Medvode). The marks have really faded (where they are), so mountaineers helped themselves by building cairns. Part of the path is hard to follow and even I got off the marked path today.
Still a nice, what nice, excellent day in the mountains!
Best regards

As far as I know, PD Medvode marks and maintains the paths to Jalovec from Tamar via Kotovo sedlo and via the notch to Mali Kot. The Goličica wall, the summit part of Jalovec, and the path to Špička, I think, are someone else's domain.

Best regards B

Almost directly from the Carnic Alps to visit "Fanta od fare". I thought after very tough tours in the Carnic Alps my step would be slower, but it was as agile as in the best times. On the way back from the summit met a lady who said to me, good that I met a living being, but I forgot to ask her if she hadn't seen my sheep. And already tonight towards new tough tours, and my wife starts vacation too, so we'll climb a few in the Karnics too. Best regards!

where are the times when we walked through the ice cave in sneakers in summer

Yesterday with colleague on Jalovec via the notch (some problem with snowfield), descent to Špička, Vršič, over the ridge to Tamar. Little snow on top, otherwise nice and long tour. lp

Me and my son also on Thursday on Jalovec from Tamar over Škrbina to the summit and descent to Tamar over Kotovo sedlo. Weather wonderful, quite a few visitors from all directions. Also there "over", on neighbor Mangart plenty of visitors.
Maybe just this: at entrance to climbing section towards Škrbina, awkward detail with steep slope and ice axe very useful (visible from predecessor's pics).

P.S.: We diligently carried camera in backpack, because morning before hut in Tamar, when we wanted to photo scarlet-clad beauty realized no card in camera, hi,hi. At summit visitor from Primorska "pitied" us and confirmed "the thing".
Good luck!

robter12. 08. 2011 20:55:31

Today route from Vršič towards Mali Kot and over Jalovec škrbina ascent to Jalovec, then descent to Špička and back to Vršič. No peculiarities on path. Maybe missed extra peg or cable, but that's Jalovec charm - as few artificial aids in nature.
Well to top it off met two in worst flip-flops (sandals), climbing from Špička to Jalovec. Crazy.

Today, after a 2-hour drive, still in the dark I arrived in Planica, continued by bike to Tamar, then over Jalovška škrbina to the summit and via Kotovo sedlo back to Dom v Tamarju. At Dom v Tamarju such a crowd that I forgot about hunger and just biked to Planica to the car, then to Kranjska Gora for "Chinese" velik nasmeh

Lots of visitors at the summit, lots of sheep at the saddle nasmeh

exit - between the rock and snow it is very narrow, but it worked

looks quite complicated - descent to Kotovo sedlo

nincokl14. 08. 2011 19:51:38

Yesterday Saturday, after a night spent in Tamar eight of us hikers set off to Jalovec via Kotovo sedlo to summit then descent to shelter under Špička and via Vršič and Sleme back to Tamar. Long and strenuous tour. At summit, at Špička and Vršič bit longer stops, whole path took 14 hours. No regret tired legs, rewarded with wonderful views and picturesque path nasmeh

Jalovec really fits name king of mountains.
Safe step all wish "Celje hikers"

Parkeljc14. 08. 2011 22:05:13

Today started below hut in Tamar (yeah yeah, parked a bit high) over scree via Jalovec škrbina, where still quite thick patch frozen snow and can be very uncomfortable to cross and enter climbing part, continuation over Goličica, studded with pegs, then west side of ridge to summit. Weather ideal, hikers plenty, but not too much for such nice day. At summit loooong rest, descend towards Kotovo sedlo, past bivouac and back to start. Long time no such ideally used day in mountains..

look back - morning in Planica and Tamar

some space on Mangrt could still be found.. ;)

mukica14. 08. 2011 22:08:17

We started from Tamar in the morning, climbed over Kotovo sedlo to the bivouac and on to Jalovec. We descended towards Špička into the valley. The path was very varied, interesting and quite demanding. mežikanje

I'm glad we (we were four) made it. With breaks we slogged good 12 hours nasmeh

Weather was super, impressions divine nasmeh

Parkeljc14. 08. 2011 22:20:12

Well, "mukica", remember who took your picture just below the summit... mežikanje

alesh7415. 08. 2011 06:55:19

Congrats "mukica", especially I'd congratulate "m.b." for this feat.....
Parkeljc - thanks for the pic..
Regards

My D-day on Jalovec. Still reliving yesterday. In the team I was with mukica, alesh74 and Tonet, who got me safely over the wall. Thanks also to parkeljc, who immortalized us on top.
One remark... at certain spots some pegs were missing for ones like me mežikanje

Divine day, incredible experience... proud I conquered it mežikanje
