Košutnikov Turn

Print
tinky16. 07. 2014 14:40:38
Passing by Planina Dolga Njiva along the western route towards Košutnikov Turn. Before that to Ostrv and Macesje. / elevations XXVI 50, 51 and 52 /. At the saddle I also descended to the hanging bridge. I didn't go across because I had no gear with me. Finally to the Turn and down the eastern route to Dolga Njiva. It's already worth going to those ends because of the bilberries.

Please for info on road drivability - is the one to planina Pungrat or to planina Dolge Njive better passable? Tomorrow we plan to hike part of the ridge from Škrbina to KT, don't know yet from which end to startzavijanje z očmi

From Planina Dolga Njiva western path to Turn. Midway left usual trail to K.Turn, followed unmarked path to Tegoška gora, climbed steep meadows straight to ridge. Then ridge back to Ostrv and again path to Turn.
Steep meadows, beautiful views in sunny weather from Košuta have their charm.

Today interesting scene at Košutnikov Turn. Fog dragged to saddle under summit, then sun blazed full power, phenomenal at top. But not long, fogs breaking from below pushing up, beauty of views dissolved. Anyway got my share, no complaining. nasmehvelik nasmeh

This morning still in the dark from the Pod Krnico parking lot to pl. Dolga Njiva, then along the marked path to Kofce. Above Tegoška planina I left the marked path and climbed pathless to the ridge path. Along the ridge over Tegoška gora (Höhe Spitze), Užnik (hope correct? - border stone XXIV/57 zmeden ), Macesje and Ostrv to Košutnikov Turn. Then descent to Dolga Njiva via the eastern path. Weather on the ridge foggy and windy, rocks slippery due to moisture. Slipperiest was the descent from Turn down the steep slope due to mix of wet rocks, stones and soil. Few hikers. At pl. Dolga Njiva pleasant and partly sunny nasmeh. Pity about the weather, otherwise interesting tour.

TRAVERSING KOŠUTA

Start hiking at Ljubelj, at the bend on hunters' path to Košutica, from there to Hanžejevo sedlo, then climbing to Veliki vrh. Whole Košuta ahead. Continued on trail to Kladivo, meet Janez Udovič who was here with same task as me, morning at Preval. To the gap we hurry together, since Klemen was already running behind us. From Škrbina alone. From Košutnikov vrh choose path to Zgornja Njiva. At Spodnja Njiva friends gather, who helped Klemen on Tržiške 10 today.

From planina Dolga Njiva up the western route towards Košutnikov Turn. At the saddle I descended almost to the hanging bridge. Didn't go to OTG due to wet cables and fog. Returned to the saddle and went to Ostrv. From Ostrv to Košutnikov Turn. Fog and sun alternated. Down the eastern route to Dolga Njiva. Meanwhile the fog cleared and a nice day formed. Rhododendrons are blooming too. Three more hikers on top. At the hut, famous schnapps and sour milk.

Today via Cjajnik from Kosutnik home via ferrata, then along the ridge to Kosutnik Tower and back via ferrata, also over hanging bridge. All OK, just rock more worn on some parts due to frequency of visits. Then to Zelezno kaplja ferrata on the way back. Likewise all OK with worn rock in some places. Best, A and J

Yesterday at Košutnik Tower. Start planina Dolga Njiva. Loop west up, east down, also drop to hanging bridge. Nice tour, but slippery in some sections (especially when wet). Fog swirling on top, so no good view, quite cold too. Nice regards

Lately doing demanding tours with colleague. Sadly no time this time so alone decided to climb Košutnikov Turn from Austria via secured path. Drive to Ljubelj then to hut Pod Košuto (1288m-Koschutahaus). Located in head of Huda Jama valley at edge of Kotarji pasture. Here nice view of north face of Mecesja where Cjajnik and Košutnikov Turn. Last km narrow gravel trouble meeting cars. But well maintained gravel road. Need to know route not to stray. From village Sel (Zell-Pfarre) 4km gravel. No toll now. Used to pay years ago. Park, pack backpack, safety gear mandatory and go. Signs clear. Soon to junction - right Cjajnik, left Košutnikov Turn. Over one hour to base of rock. Left of old abandoned path climbers already. Put on gear and straight to cables. From below see hanging bridge to nice ledge. Didn't go. Path well traced. Cables not always tight. No hard spots for me. No rest places really. Bit over half hour to end of secured climbing path. Officially OTK path. But not summit yet. To top of Košutnikov Turn left from where climbed from rocks reach in 15 min. Here from right see Mecesja ridge or part - Vzhodno Ostvino (2030m). Mecesje long ridge before Košutnikov Turn with several peaks, but later. On top big metal cross with logbook. Stamp sadly at hut Pod Košuto. Question how to start point now. Back down climbing no fun. Experienced secured climbers go up to Cjajnik down that way. Only option descend to Zgornja Dolga Njiva pasture, there right down to Meli (Mela). Through gully secured geological trail (Geotrail Meli) well marked maintained by SPD Celovec. End covered shelter panels logbook. Logbook midway gully too. Now to Potok saddle path 642 long to hut. From top of geo trail to hut 4 hours. From peak to hut almost 6 hours. For walkers not too much. Who no more cables seek ride from Spodnja Dolga Njiva pasture, car in Austria awkward. Anyway walked too much. But adrenaline, interesting, no regret.
Hut Pod Košuta.1
The start of the secured climbing path is on these rocks to the right.2
These steel cables look something like this - I don't like them at all - ours are tensioned.3
4
5
This hanging bridge is somewhere at the end of the path and leads only to one rock. To the top of this rocky loner there are also steel cables. More to spice up this relatively short path.6
At the lojtra there is a somewhat awkward bypass - carefully. I didn't climb over the lojtra. Maybe another time with a buddy.7
At the top of the climbing path.8
A nice view opens to the right - to the end of the Mecesnovec ridge where Cjajnik also belongs.9
We are at the border.10
Still a short ascent to the top of Košutnikov turn.11
Summit of the mountain.12
A bit closer.13
Now down to Zgornja planina Dolgo njivo - warning for careful walking.14
Along the descending path - all these rocky peaks have names - maybe another time.15
A path I really like.16
It takes quite some time to reach the alpine pasture.17
Planina Zgornja Dolga njiva even with horses. Below on planina Spodnja dolga njiva there is a large mountain dairy.18
Now on the long path back to the hut. First through the soteska Meli.19
Through this rocky rugged gorge leads a secured geological path - very interesting - beautiful.20
We walk past interesting rock formations.21
The path is excellently secured. It is maintained by the Slovenian Geological Society in Celovec.22
23
Middle of the path.24
Rock beauty - this must be experienced live. Maybe very interesting for Bojan Ambrožič - Bojan, check this out!25
Rest area at the end of the path with logbook and panels.26
27
28
If you zoom in, something might be readable. Unfortunately, my new camera is still in the testing phase.29
Still three hours to the car. Actually, you circumnavigate Tolsta Košuta.30
From the Potok saddle, vast scree fields stretch out endlessly.31
We walk a good two hours across these vast scree fields.32
33
But I got my fill of Zois's bellflowers. I've never seen so many.34
