Menina planina

A nice day on the pasture attracted quite a few visitors. Too bad the mountain hut at Biba is closed. Off-season it could be open on weekends, since from the valley to Biba it's not that far that one couldn't at least heat the stove, if not brew some tea. There are always lots of visitors in nice weather.zmeden

You just need to go a bit further to the hut on Menina planina, which has at least so far always been open on weekends. In winter those who came on foot up there even got free tea!smile

Menina planina (named after monks from Gornji Grad monastery to which it belonged) is a vast karst plateau in the foothills of Kamnik-Savinja Alps. The famous Biba lake formed on pitted karst surface due to narrow clay band, probably shepherds sealed the bottom, as they used the lakelet for watering livestock. The lake is something special and protected as natural monument. Interesting stone walls characteristic of Slovenian karst. In Biba and Nova Poljana area interesting stone walls divided into several inner pastures. Shepherds even had first alpine pasture school but due to WWII it soon ceased.
Path wound through Biba planina-Vivodnik-Hut on Menina planina-Gornji Grad. Nice mountain greeting. smile

This afternoon we were at Menina pasture. This pasture is very beautiful, but this plateau is also very threatened, as we noticed that there are quite a few pallets of artificial fertilizer stored in the hut at Biba. Probably this fertilizer will be used on the pasture and in a few years the water there will also be polluted like on the Drava field.

Our family also joined the above-mentioned visitors to Menina pasture and Vivodnik. The path is wonderful, like walking on soft carpets. Highly recommended, easy trip for families with small children. Best regards, Andrej

Near the hut there is the underground cave Jespa (cca. 30 minutes from the hut). Some caution is needed when descending into the cave, otherwise access to it is not demanding for an experienced hiker. Whenever I visited it, there was ice in it.
Best regards

In Bočna, I turn for the long-planned Menina. I park 4km above Bočna above the farmer Šemprimožnik, since the road further is not plowed. Also too little snow for skiing lower down. From the start there's little snow. It's very hard, partly icy. But quickly with climbing it covers with increasingly thicker layer of powder. Perfect for skiing. Therefore I ski the summit slopes in various variants four times and thus despite the low height of Menina-1508m I reach over 2000m. Follows the descent to the car, which turns out better than expected. My two faithful friends follow me playfully all the time. And as icing on the cake during the drive I listen to the broadcast of the giant slalom at WC, when Maze wins silver. Bravo girl. Definitely back to Menina soon. Best greetings from under the beautiful Mozirska planina, Janez.

Yesterday a nice morning tour from Tuhinj Valley over Črešnjice and Biba pasture (from there on foot), from there also start of snow (new was cca 10 cm), most sank in. Weather wonderful, warm, views a bit worse, already cloudy. Of course followed visit to Vivodnik and lookout tower and then partly circular path back to start. Excellent trip organized by JJ. Thank you. What trips we offer ourselves.

Visit to Menina pasture from Vransko, saddle Lipa and along the lower path under Smolnik and Medvedji hrib. Weather ok, sometimes cold wind blowing and surprisingly quite a few people on the path. Snow, except towards the top of Menina where there are individual patches, almost none left. Back along the upper side of Medvedji hrib, which leads to saddle Lipa.nasmeh

Yesterday over the barbecue a suggestion is made - let's go to the mountains tomorrow!!
No need to tell me twice and in 5 min. the team is organized (I choose Menina)
In the morning, pain in the back of the head warns me - too much yesterday...
The higher we climb, the more the rustling in the treetops warns us of the wind. Above 1000m the beeches are just preparing to dress in green attire.
When we come out of the forest a strong wind greets us. It's cold. Karst sinkholes and shady areas still have snow. Where it's bare it's full of spring snowflakes and wood anemones. We don't descend to Jespa, it's still full of snow. From the lookout tower (Vivodnik) a beautiful view of K.S. Alps opens.
We go to the hut, have a snack - the wind doesn't stop and already brings dark clouds. Fresh air and a bit of effort chase away the annoying throbbing in my head.
Quickly we descend to the car and home for lunch. At home raindrops already await us - we're used to it..
Best regards

Visit to Menina Pasture today, despite poor weather forecast, is completely fairy-tale. Path from Gornji grad past Jespa uphill is pleasant, back past Ovčji stan likewise, in between a jump to the tower on Vivodnik to take some good photos. Very very nice trip. Visit it!

what snake is that

I think it's not a snake, but a slowworm, which belongs to lizards.
Definitely not a viper.

Common slowworm doesn't belong among snakes, it's a viviparous lizard, although not the most similar to them!

Today at Menina Pasture. Path from "pass" Lipa (above Vransko) is ok, here and there one would need to remove some fallen tree and renew markersmežikanje. Valley had morning fog, up there the sun was already shining, it was warm and the view of the snow-covered Kamnik Alps was wonderful. Hut open, food super, staff too. Worth checkingnasmeh. It was a nice sunny day!
