Yesterday to Snežnik from Sviščaki. Road now fully asphalted from Ilirska Bistrica to Sviščaki. No winter gear needed. Hut at top open with good attendance.

From Šviščaki to Snežnik. From turning point on quite icy, crampons useful.
Bit of wind at top, otherwise nice, even sea visible.

Friday, 20.3.2020

Though used to long drives to start, fairly close Sviščaki seemed far this time. Both roads uphill were more or less snowy, snow packed so walking pleasant. Lower forest path bare, higher snowy, no need for gaiters or crampons. Safe and comfy along slippery track, not off it. Weather wonderful, reaching Mali top thru brush sun really warmed. To Veliki path trodden, snow soft enough no slip on old steps no sink off them. From junction with path from turning point some icy meters to top, went aside or dry rocks by path. Greeted those up top from much farther than usual, found lonely spot tied souls there. During snack plenty time for memories thoughts, interesting what ran thru head. Then descent no issues like ascent. Pure pleasure tho some mud on by path up top. Nice trip good conditions great weather nasmeh

From the Bistrica side it's best via Mali Snežnik from Grda draga, because on the usual marked path from Sviščaki logging is currently underway and the road is closed this week - access via the forest variant above the mentioned road is possible.
On Monday the reverse situation - road opens, forest path closes.
Quieter variant is from Loška dolina via Gašperjev hrib.

Yesterday's impressions from the path Mašun - Mali Snežnik - Veliki Snežnik - Sviščaki - Mašun.
The path is normally passable.

Yesterday we went to Small and Big Snežnik a bit differently. Since we like walking we started right from Mašun. Nice asphalt road takes us there. Large parking and nice inn with mini golf. The inn is a real museum of various worn-out chainsaws. From there we headed to Snežnik on European trail E6. About 20 min more on macadam then turn right onto this marked path. To Big Snežnik it's quite a long way. With breaks nearly four hours. Path initially quite damaged from recent storms and bit steep. We walk thick two hours through nice beech forest. Hear foresters working. When beech forest ends, quickly into dwarf pines which actually overgrow both Snežniks from 1300m. Nice little path. Dwarf pines nicely cleared, no bother. After good three hours or bit more arrived at Small Snežnik. Here marker with height. Now just half hour nice path to Big Snežnik. Hut closed weekdays now. Beautiful views to Kvarner with islands, Učka and our side to Vremščica awaited us. At top stamps, windmill, pity logbook wet, torn and full -mountaineering society covering Snežnik seems forgotten the logbook. Down we went straight via Sviščaki. Back on this macadam thick four hours. In between see notice when hut open. Had nice day. Now end of summer still last mountain flowers-edelweiss, bellflowers, gentians, marsh gentian and more -kidneyvetch already done blooming.
Morning in Mašun. I took pictures of Mašun on the return because at six in the morning it was still too dark.1
There is a pleasant inn here.2
Even a wooden bear greets us.3
They have it nicely arranged. From here we can drive along the gravel to Sviščaki and to Veliki Snežnik it is only two hours.4
This is part of that museum collection of retired chainsaws.5
There are more possibilities of where to go here.6
To Veliki Snežnik the European footpath runs from here.7
It is marked like this.8

I was there today. The path is snowy from Sviščaki onwards. Snow mostly southern-facing, so it mushes underfoot. Slippery going down. Crampons useless because they ball up. It was foggy and very windy today (in the morning). Lp Majda
