Košutna, Kompotela, Vrh Korena

lilyd15. 07. 2019 22:23:41

On Sunday, a wonderful circular tour of four female hikers and one male hiker from planina Jezerca at 1,410 m past planina Koren and pl. Košutna to Košutna peak. We continued to Mokrica and on to Kompotela. The path is newly nicely marked and groomed, kudos to PD Komenda. The views were great towards Nanos, Snežnik, Velika Planina, Kum and Menina Planina. Then a hop to 1,999 m, Vrh Korena. We had three return options and chose the most attractive ridge Ježa, where the descent via well-equipped protections must be noted. A bit steeper ascent, a few more short ups and downs, then to Zvoh... then descent to Florjana and tour end. Nice ramble through pastures and peaks of Krvavec, without the forecasted rain.

Comment on a small detail... On the whole described tour path, the probably most dangerous part is the initial section on Kriška Planina, bordered by barbed wire. Who are the sharp barbs for? Even ordinary wire stops cows too..... So for hikers who in the dark may notice the wire too late....and "not get away without injury"... Wire at child eye height!
Has the 20th century taught us nothing...? In the Julian Alps area there are still too many remnants of rusted wire, but someone putting up new??? Also on the southern border against refugees we even have razor wire!?

Observer, how well you observe. How quickly we eat forbidden bread. After 2nd World War very popular saying here: Never again barbed wire. (Due to horrors camp inmates in concentration camps fenced with barbed wire suffered.) Today this barbed threat reappears. jezen

Today I went from planina Jezerca to Košutna and Kompotela, no time for Vrh Korena.
To planina Košutna, the path is without issues, dry, the rocky step before the pasture is excellently secured - new cable.
Snow started a bit above the pasture, I followed tracks to Košutna summit. On to Kompotela I had to wade a bit to the path from planina Koren to Kompotela. The track is well trodden, still gaiters and poles with baskets are useful. No crampons needed.

There is quite a lot of snow in the high mountains of KSA

taja3, nice little tour. And in places undoubtedly the best views of Grintovci.

Regards.

Hello,
maybe some fresh info from this end? How much snow on path from Kriška Planina via Jezerca to Košutna or Kompotela? Thanks.

bostjan16. 12. 2019 09:08:54

I mean of course via planina Koren, not via Jezerca.

Today in slightly windy weather, nice tour to the mentioned peaks. Today the path was very icy on some parts, snow is hard, iced, maybe tomorrow already different. Views wonderful. Nice mountaineer's greeting.

Wonderful Saturday for visiting three peaks above Koren pasture. Start from parking at Jezerca pasture. Need to pay parking - 2 EUR. Still lots of space at parking. nasmeh

First to Koren pasture, quite a few visitors at the hut. Then towards Košutna. Secured section snowy and icy, protections exposed and excellent. First time at Košutna pasture. Peace and wonderful views to Velika planina and Kamniški vrh. Then past shepherd's hut and chapel, where you can ring bell too, towards Košutna summit. When path turned to north side, slope quite icy and caution needed.
Continued to Kompotela, where lots of visitors. We caught "free interval" and enjoyed summit completely alone at least 15 min. Views really nice, known viewpoint. Wind mild and very warm.
Then to Vrh Korena too, where you stand and admire. And on summit again alone.
Return to car same way on completely trampled snow or muddy path.
Lots of visitors today in these areas. nasmeh

After descending from Košutna - it was so beautifully illuminated by the sun

Is there perhaps a caver among you who knows the pits in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps? The photo shows the entrance to a pit between Kompotela and Koren in KSA. By my lay assessment based on the sound of the stone that I threw into the pit, the pit depth is surely 20 m.
Since the pit lies on terrain descending towards Kamniška Bistrica, the pit may have some continuation.

The entrance to the sinkhole is in more demanding terrain.

I'm not a caver myself, maybe this can help: www.katasterjam.si/

GregorD, biggest thanks for the link and in the register I found this pit, which is no. 8446-Koren 3 and 22m deep, so I estimated quite well. nasmeh

The morning view towards the mountains showed today's goal.
From Markove ravni first along the marked path and then the hunter's path to Planina Košutna. After initial freezing the sun soon warmed me up to the pasture. There the cold wind showed its teeth. I put on a windbreaker and gloves and headed first to Košutna and from there to Kompotela. Weather again, despite the wind, fantastic but much colder than last week.
Snow is little, to ankles, some small ice patches that we easily step over.
There are quite a few visitors, so I didn't push to Vrh Korena where there was a whole small group.
Descent over Planina Koren, at the bottom of the pasture to the hunter's path and return to the valley.
