In the morning in Kamniška Bela it looked almost like turning back. Dark, foggy, higher up it was blowing quite a bit, but I kept going upwards. Up there, due to the uncut pine scrub along the path, sometimes quite annoying, I pick up extra water, so by the summit I'm soaked to the bone. In between, some fallen trees have been lying there for quite a while. And these Kamnik folks!, as if they didn't know a motorbike or at least a chainsaw. The signs at Presedljaj are only up in summer, and even then mostly for ants and snakes. To the hut in good 3 hours, where the kind ladies immediately gave me some space on the bench by the kitchen for my "amphibious" jacket. Then I refresh myself, later the pleasant sun finally shines outside, which even the cows rejoice in. The hutkeeper says that in future they might plan to open the hut for some winter dates. The problem is that the shelter still needs insulating, the stone outer walls will be covered with larch shingles, with an air gap in between. When it'll all be done is still a question, depending on help. On the return I also pop to the nearby Koroški vrh and traverse it (it has three peaks and is quite long) to the Prag saddle, where I descend. Down goes faster and I spend another three hours including the peak.
Nice tour through the less visited, quiet and overgrown part of the Kamnik-Savinja Alps.
