Krvava peč below Pirčeva planina

I've noticed Krvava peč below Pirčeva planina many times while driving over Črnivec and it was time to go explore a bit.

I parked in Krivčevo and walked along the road to the Žaga hamlet, where I turned right off the road onto the marked path towards pl. Kisovec over Strmina. A really nice, slightly overgrown trail led me into the steep slopes of Krvava peč and soon sucked me into this attractive world. At a suitable spot, by a rock cairn, I left the markings and headed steeply up searching for a passage to the ridge. I quickly realized it wouldn't be entirely easy. The slope in the steep grass was becoming brutal, up to 80°. Luckily there were enough saplings that served well for the ascent. Some adrenaline climbing on steep heights made the sense of time disappear and it felt like eternity until I climbed onto the ridge. The view ahead was promising and wild and the thought that maybe the terrain wouldn't let me through wasn't pleasing. I climb and step carefully, observe and watch out. When I step onto the overgrown head of the ridge, I'm out of trouble. Yay! I finish the ridge exactly at the stone with Žaga written on it, from where it's just a moment to the planina. Great! On the planina I turn right to the viewpoint with a bench, where I munch a bit and let thoughts about life slip through. What all should we be grateful for!? What all do we have to give up?!...
From here I continue along the road to the next planina and already thinking about descent towards Krivčevo. After pathless wandering through the forest I catch the marked path and start descending. At the abandoned farm I turn right across the meadow, back towards the peč, to the edge where I previously spotted a traverse carved into the slope from the ridge. I head into it right away and traverse for a while, to the spot where the chain helps. There's a special place there, so I sit and enjoy the solitude, leaving the continuation of the hunter's path for next time. I return and descend to the starting point along the picturesque path following the markings.

Short and really sweet, for forest alpinists! velik nasmeh
