Mala Pišnica / hunting hut

Print

Hello, a few years ago we climbed up Pišnica valley to the famous larch, one of the largest in Slovenia. It grows in a solitary spot between Pišnica and Tamar valleys, at around 1500m altitude, 22m high, but 10m of the top broke off, circumference is 422cm. The larch's age is estimated at 800-1000 years. The path took us past the hunting hut. At some pool we saw an interesting fossil. It's a very nice, interesting but orientationally demanding path. Lp

Sonia, did you go all the way along the streambed?

In the beginning we went along the streambed, after about 20 min. we turned right onto the slope, it's quite a steep path, we came to the hunting hut via it. According to the local who guided us, this path in Pišnica valley changes every year. Lp Sonja

On the holiday Monday to the hunting hut in Mala Pišnica valley. From Jasna first along the stream, after about 20 minutes then right steeply up the slope to the hunting trail, which leads almost horizontally to the upper part of m.Pišnica valley. There further again along the water to the hunting hut. We returned the same way. We didn't meet anyone the whole way. Nice and quite wild in the upper part of this valley.

Super! So is it possible to follow the path?

Yes, once you find the turnoff up the slope which is at the pool...last two pics...from the trail you can't stray. But from the stream it's quite steep and crumbly. On the hardest, albeit short section you mustn't slipeek(pic 8). Once you get past this part you're right in the forest on nice trail.

Thanks, as for slipping, that unfortunately applies to many paths and places, even across Sovatna.

Yes, that holds true. Only here, i.e. this part (pic 8) is really steep and without footholds, and gravelly, on both sides drop quite deep.

Yeah why wouldn't it be possible? Except that the path is dangerous for Englishmen but deadly for us...

Isn't there a sign for the upper path, not along the streambed?

michael6617. 08. 2016 18:51:04
Yes, the sign stands on the upper path, right after this path branches off from the path to Vitranc, and also on this side, when I joined the upper path
(towards Kranjska Gora). That means one section of this path is closed.

Today I went to Mala Pišnica with the intention of just going along the stream bed as far as possible.
The wilderness I walked through literally left me speechless. I think there are no words that could describe it.
The stream took me down to a narrow gorge in the middle of the valley, closed by a waterfall, which unfortunately couldn't be reached.
All along I was also looking for small paths or a path that could go above the bed, but I couldn't spot it at all. Hand on heart, I can't even imagine where it could lead over all those debris and scree slopes, unless it goes a couple hundred meters higher.
Anyway, I will return to this beautiful and wild world, I just need to study these descriptions of various paths above the valley.

Today I went through Mala Pišnica, then up from the stream bed along the hunting path, continued past the hunting hut and Grlo to Slemenova Špica. On the way back I wanted some fun and chose the upper path (which is officially closed) for the return, after a few turns I notice that the municipality of Kranjska Gora has started renovating the path. There are some new little bridges but they are not for use as the thing is far from stable. But it's nice to see that they intend to renovate it. I warn that the path is slippery, dangerous and unsuitable for the average hiker. With this post I just wanted to show that work is being done there and in no way encourage people to visit this still closed path.

Already Saturday morning started adrenaline-fueled, and I hadn't even started hikingzmedenmežikanje...well, a flat tireeek really spices up the start of the day, but help came to my aid (read, I was an excellent assistant, but all credit goes to the friendly unclenasmeh), I assume the oldest resident of Belca, and at 8:00, an hour later than planned, we were already puffing along the Mala Pišnica valley, just in time we turned into the forest, where we didn't feel the heat, but we made up for it all. To the LK we only went off path once a bit, which pulled us uphill, hehe, but we quickly got back on the "trodden" path. This time we turned to Grlo and continued towards Slemenova Špica, where even at this time of year it's incredibly beautiful, all green, all blooming, of course the Jalovec giant adds valuejezikvelik nasmeh
Descent to Vršič, where we were quite successful at hitchhiking back to Jasna.
Nice tour, the biggest heat "cauldron" was from Grlo to the upper marked path, lounging or shading among and under beautiful larches is total victory.

On Wednesday we went with the family (wife, ten-year-old, seven-year-old girl and four-year-old) to Macesen in Mala Pišnica. About two kilometers along the stream bed, sticking to the right side (direction of travel or left bank of the stream). Crossing the stream once or twice is inevitable. When the stream bed narrows and the path along it starts rising, we turn sharply and steeply to the right uphill on very crumbly terrain that's exposed in places. We climb about 100 meters, then the path gently enters the forest, where it joins the old path from Jasna, which has been closed for years. The path then runs fairly flat and after a good kilometer leads to the scree fields of the upper part of Mala Pišnica. There we still keep to the right side while walking and cross some gravelly debris cones falling from the walls of Ciprnik. Although the path gets lost on the scree, after less than a kilometer we can easily climb on the right side, slightly elevated above the scree, to the idyllically placed hunting hut. If we want to go to Macesen, we have to continue further. First we descend gently from the hunting hut to the stream bed, then quickly turn into the forest again, where we need to catch a small path. The small path is clearly visible at the beginning for about a kilometer and crosses a few gullies. Then it starts to disappear. That's when we encounter quite a few fallen trees and difficult passages. We have to keep more to the left and go under the steep walls on the right above, then, when the path becomes visible again, climb steeply uphill in gentle zigzags. When we cross a distinct gully to the right, we reach a viewpoint in a few dozen meters, where we can see the waterfall in the head of Mala Pišnica in the distance, falling from the walls of Robičje. From here there's no distinct path to Macesen. The path that exists leads towards Grlo, but if we want to Macesen, we have to leave the path by nose to the right and look for it under the scree of Grlo somewhere at 1430 meters altitude. We won't see it from afar, as it doesn't stand alone, but when we find it, we'll be sure, as it truly stands out with its majesty among mostly deciduous neighbors. Our goal was Macesen. But since the wife didn't want to return downhill over the rather tricky section of path that rises steeply and crumbly from the Mala Pišnica stream bed, we decided to play with the altitude a bit more, so we climbed to the marked path connecting Vršič via Grlo to Tamar. From there we reached the path to Slemenova Špica, then descended via Vratca to Vršič, from where we took the bus back to Jasna. Beautiful and quite adventurous tour. Last year we did it with our then nine-year-old son in a variant where we returned from Macesen back to the hunting hut and then went along the hunting path to Ciprnik, then over Vitranc to the ski slope and down with summer toboggans. In this variant it's a serious tour with 1400m ascent.

From the viewpoint we continue left upwards along the slope, from where we climb less than 100m more and find Macesen below the Grla scree.13
Macesen is hard to find, but impossible to miss :)14

Today my son and I went to Vršič on this path and repeated @jbs's tour. After eleven months everything he wrote still holds true. The only difference is that crossing the stream wasn't necessary and we walked the whole path on the right bank (direction of travel).

Until we joined the Vršič - Slemenova Špica path, we really enjoyed the peace and quiet. Then ...eek

Yesterday my long-standing wish came truenasmeh. Through the valley of Mala Pišnica to the hunting hut we went. And even further, to Ciprnik, although it wasn't planned at first. We weren't even sure if we'd reach the hut at all. Only the descriptions on these pages were our guide and it was enough. Solitary world along the whole path, mysterious, wild and very beautiful. And a bit exploratory. The path is there and isn't, sometimes you feel you don't need it at all. But if you reach the hut, you were on the right path, which took us about two hours, or gave us them, depending on how you take itnasmeh. Wonderful wandering that continues in another storynasmeh.
