15.11. 2024. This year November is gorgeous. We didn't even think we'd stand on both Babanski Skedenjs in a week's time. Around eight in the morning we set off from Žaga. Steeply uphill. Higher up we viewed the Boka waterfall. Continued to planina Baban. Then along the path through the forest. All the way to the junction for Veliki Babanski Skedenj. We chose the right approach to the summit. Descended the left side and reached the familiar little path lower down. Or rather, a mule track. Below the summit there's some scrambling among rocks. At the summit it's quite precipitous on both sides. Views really wonderful. When clarity persists. And it wasn't cold either. Just below the summit in the grass we stopped for a good hour. For descent we went past planina Ognjenik and then the steep path that the trail markers recently renewed the markings on, as it's a hiking path, arrived back at starting point in Žaga still in daylight. Didn't meet almost anyone. Less than 1700m ascent and 12-odd km walk. A tour that'll stay in our fond memory. Just like a few days ago when we were around here.

22.07 2026. Hike that had been planned for some time. By another path. There at the bridge near hotel Boka we left the vehicle, where there was larger parking. In the morning it was empty. When returning it was full of vehicles. Before stepping on the bridge a gravel path branches off. Ours became more and more overgrown further on. Once mule track. Past the monument where they placed a memorial plaque to victims of the Second World War. Using navigation we went to the first peak Kopa. It is not even high. Then the known path towards Mali Babanski skedenj. Weather served us well. It was not warm. Just right. And after hours of walking we were at the top. All four. The one with four paws already the second time up here. On these paths you meet no one. At least we saw none. We descended by another path. Past planina Baban. Could have gone to planina Ognjenk but we did not decide to. Path further through forest. Quite pleasant for walking. Except in the last part where we met lots of tourists who were going to the viewpoint. 1700 elevation gained. Also some 12 km we walked. Benches almost none left. Snakes also not to be seen.
