Yesterday with Janez to Kepa from Spodnje Rute via NE ridge and via 680 back to start.
Windy on ridge, otherwise nice cool day.
Route in my opinion a bit overmarked, but ascent nice. Hiked and climbed without issues.
Good luck!

Hi.
I read that access to Kepa is also to be restricted from the Belca direction; https://www.hribi.net/novica/zaprta_planinska_pot_in_gozdna_cesta_po_dolini_belce/4596
If I remember correctly, in about a month the still accessible forest road Dovje-Erjavčev Rovt will be closed, which is also a nice access for visiting Kepa. From where will it be possible at all to go to Kepa on "our" side? Will the big shots really restrict everything for us? PZS AND PD happily nod. The mountaineering homeland is sad.

This trail has been closed most of the time since the landslide cut it. It was reopened recently maybe one or two years ago - along the road it was possible to go on foot despite degradation. Who among the "know-it-alls" could add that the trail was already risky at least at one spot due to exposure over the depth at the washed-away place and uncomfortable at several due to material deposits/breakage - it didn't bother me. In my opinion it was a nice gesture from their (PD) side to mark the parking below and open the trail. The services that will repair it have a huge job according to what I saw - the road is completely destroyed in some parts of the valley, the remedial road is already starting to wash away too ... Hard to imagine that the construction site would be compatible with hikers crossing via the mountain trail. Especially under the landslide.

n3jc thanks for the info. I haven't been in Belca valley yet but whenever I drove past I already "glimpsed" the state of the big landslide and I understand the notice here somehow, while from the Dovje side it doesn't say at all that there will be a ban on using the forest road to the confluence in the summer season...

The service road was (at least from the end of the tunnel, where the marked trail from the parking at the sawmill comes up - over the scree) repaired in autumn - so now it's normally drivable at least for cyclists. Apparently they will now carry out additional work on it, then they could open it (I don't know why they would repair it otherwise). What the condition (possible repairs) past the landslide and through the tunnel is, unfortunately I don't know.

Yesterday Kepa via Kurjeke.
Over Kurjeke dry. Below Gubno some snow tongues - I went over Gubno and along the ridge to the col, which is dry. On the ridge towards Dovska Mala Kepa some snow patches, which you bypass one or two meters on the south side (but probably all dry in the next days). Trail below DMK completely dry, some snow only then at the pass between DMK and Kepa, where you have to scramble a bit, and then on the trail to Kepa - you avoid it if you go along the ridge. Descent past Dovska Rožca.

I was last weekend on Kepa from Dovje. Slept in Austria at Berta Hutte https://www.bertahuette-mittagskogel.at/
Thrilled with the mountain and the hut. From the top excellent view of entire Julian Alps, entire Karawanks, Kamnik-Savinja Alps, what a beauty. This became one of my favorite mountains 
The trail is very attractive. Contains 4-5 short ferratas as well as several narrow crumbly sections where you really need to watch out. Otherwise similar to Stol or Vrtača.
I don't understand why more people don't go to this beautiful mountain and why it's not part of the Extended Slovenian Mountain Trail 
From Dovje to summit about 1500m up, then about 700m down to hut. Took me about 5h30min with breaks. Opposite direction longer because I enjoyed about 2 hours on top in the views.

Congratulations on the excellent tour. You two are good, what all you "climb". I haven't done such things for quite some time anymore. I've become more cautious.

Excellent documentation. This hike interests me, but now I know I won't take my wife there anytime soon. That passage in pics 22-23 really isn't harmless.
Good luck on your future paths!

At this passage, there were still a couple of pitons for protection a couple of years ago.
Why they removed them... who knows.

I don't know where this name "Šetinov rovt" comes from, which apart from hribi.net is practically nowhere else mentioned. I'd say Rovt Vrse is much more commonly used, even the building at the rovt is called "Pr’ Hartman na Vrsah", so it might make more sense to correct it to Vrse in the description.
