29/7/2020 - Jalovec
My friend decided to hike the SPP from Maribor to Debeleg Rtič without breaks in "classic style" and finished it on Saturday - 26 days. I decided to accompany her through the Julian Alps as long as there is time / strength / will.
From Vršič we set off early towards the hut under Špička. The path is nicely laid out and most of the time we walk in the shade. On the way we meet a snake or two, female hikers, male hikers and we progress nicely. At the hut under Špička we lighten the backpacks a bit, since we'll return the same way. Friendly girls make us coffee and we also talk to a fellow hiker who found out that two mountain runners told him the wrong time estimate for Jalovec and his wife is probably a bit worried, he has no phone signal to say the timetable is different.
We head to the summit, which still takes us more time than we thought at first. Slowly one gets far  . The path is without special features, on one part the steel cable is freshly torn off because apparently a rock hit the anchor bolt. Towards the summit it starts to fog, but we follow the markings without problem. Unfortunately there were no special views at the summit, so we quickly turned back. Ah, and we also call the Dom pri izviru Soče to overnight there. And we descend back to the hut. There we have a short chat with foreign hikers, an Australian offers us dried alligator and some kangaroo (no joke, like beef jerky) and a shot of local schnapps. We calm down and head towards Trenta. The weather becomes beautiful again (for Portorož) and so it burns us the next few hours to the hut at the source of Soča.
What to say about this hut? Super, in the middle of the village, electricity yes, water undoubtedly since the spring is next to it. To me it's rustic and touristic (food very good), no showers (???). And the best is that there are common sleeping areas under the ridge of the roof which beautiful weather heats to 2000 degrees. But when you open two small windows towards the dark it cools a bit. A bit. For some. For me it was horrible, good that I was also sunburnt from hiking and somehow fell asleep.

Given that Dom pri izviru Soče is by the road and doesn't need any special supplies (helicopter/cable car), they have very high prices. Especially if you compare to high alpine huts. This is real squeezing of people

I couldn't get over the fact that they don't have a shower. Most visitors came by car anyway. I missed something more hearty: Jota, Ricet, ...
Prices are ok... when you add it up if you don't save for two people it's quickly over 100EUR/day. Plus another 20-30 for sleeping.
What bothers me most is the price of water at Komna and the Mountain hut at Krn Lakes - price of water and portion size.

OK, shower not really priority, at least not in high mountains, more luxury, here they could really have it. They obviously have Soča for shower  On Komna prices like that since I remember, Matica can afford such prices, that's how it is. If you think you pay similar amount (or more expensive) for beer/water in our main tourist cities, suddenly not so expensive anymore

My opinion is beer is fine at 4EUR. I'll pay it if I want it.
But price of water which is necessity is ripping off. Same happened at airports until EU passed decision that 0.5l water can't be more than 1EUR. So let them arrange also in mountains 1.5l not more than 3EUR. Dolič I think has 4.5EUR and they bring it by helicopter and that is easiest to understand. That on Komna not (4.4EUR/1.5l), so I gave also cable car price so everyone can calculate themselves.
And portion size at Krn lake hut just not OK.

Today on Jalovec via Kotovo sedlo. Path without special features, weather wonderful, views everywhere. Quite a few visitors at the summit, most from Vršič, a couple of us from Tamar.

Super tour! I walked it in reverse direction, really wonderful spots, already when you drive to Log pod Mangrtom you can just stare around at the mighty valley guardians. When descending from Škrbina za Gradom to Čez Brežice saddle, protections on pic 15 were partially damaged and descent was quite scary (already above that part everything was crumbling). Now they've obviously fixed the trail, gotta check personally how it is

We four also walked it on 22nd August. We were satisfied although clouds gathered just at Brežice saddle. I think three years ago they fixed the cables. That part on pic 15 is now fine. Some peg is bent somewhere. Otherwise no issues.

Has anyone hiked up from Flori recently? Any fallen trees blocking passage?
From 38th hairpin of Vršiška road it's very hard to reach Mlinarica stream bed exit along the hunting trail due to fallen trees in forest.
Good luck all.

On 5.9. we went from Florija towards the Goličica wall and Jalovska škrbina, returned past Zavetišče pod Špičko. Both marked paths are well maintained, no fallen trees.

Today we went up from Tamar over Kotovo sedlo to the top and back same path. Path not demanding at all like some whine and shout, nor exposed!?
Otherwise super conditions and nicely secured and tidy path
