...from Log pod Mangartom... Years ago I got a tip, the idea has been sitting and waiting diligently until now, and since the neighboring side from Planinica excited us so much, we decide and go to see our adventure eye to eye
There are basically no descriptions, otherwise I found a scant description that didn't help us much, but we at least had info on the path start… Bojan THANKS!
We drive to Log pod Mangartom, where before the start of the climb to Strmec, on the right side we park. We walk through Log, and at the chapel we turn right onto the side road, to the fire station, or. to the tunnel that once served for transporting people and cargo to Rajbel. Here we turn left onto the path to/past the Gorejca waterfall and soon after that the path takes us to the right, on trees poorly visible red dots, but according to our "map" from mapzs, we soon realize that this is not it. We return and continue crossing further above Log, past the clearing where the Encijan ski slope is, and over the wooden bridge and oops... this is perhaps the right junction . Each on their own side, higher up we meet, and follow the path, lose it, go one floor higher, and catch a nice, wide trail, past the idyllic hut and yellow marks on trees "waterfall". Here we cross the streambed to the right, when it starts to seemingly close, and since we went a bit too high, we search for quite a while, and hooray, we find the path that is nicely traceable. Through the forest, over another smaller streambed, where our marks are sawn branches. Really nicely traceable path, and whoever maintains it, all praise! We arrive at the edge, and up the shoulder, where the key moment is. The path led us left, here we should have stuck to the shoulder, as we later realized, the path leads to the saddle called Predolina, I think under Ruševa glava. But slowly, to there was still a looong labyrinth for us, hehe. We go left, again a suspicious junction, but we continue at left pace. The path becomes steeper and steeper, we even hit a wire rope, for which I would pay a dinar if it were only a bit longer . Above the wire we hit a salt lick, but the path doesn't appeal to us, as it goes too much left and away from our direction. We return, I in my descent style grab everything from leaves to branches, roots, nothing fancy crossing. We return to the "junction" and head into the leafy wide valley, and find the track, hooray, this is it, we think, each in their own cloud. Along the streambed and when it ends, again dilemma, sawn branches lead us left, right under the walls, but again it's strange, where left?!! And when the path starts descending back into the forest, we decide to return to the streambed. Here on open terrain we notice a path on the other side, under Ruševa glava, or at least it seemed so, so we decide to continue through the leafy paradise that slips to… all the way to the saddle Predolina. There we hit a salt lick and yessss, from the right a distinct path joins and continues left. Here follow carefully, as the path is routed along the edge, but as soon as you enter the forest, it disappears. The path winds around the hill, left, then along the streambed, where more sawn trees mislead us, but we soon return and higher we hit an even more distinct path, which we suspect is from the wire upwards, which we abandoned because it seemed too "left", hmm and a new blister is already growing. The path, which is more and more sawn, even a cairn, I think the first one we meet, winds around the hill, then reaches a mini saddle, a little dilemma which peak is our peak, but after another misleading path, note, here we already turned onto the path that comes from Predel, hmm, finally we stand on the summit of German Heads, when it pinches, ouch, no mercy from above, hahaha. Snack under the shelter, obligatory photos and admiring the Jerebica wall, which is really wauuu from here, and a glimpse into Italy, which is so close and yet so far . Since it started to get cold and only half the path was done, we descend. At the junction left leads the path to the "Italian" bend before Predel, we2 to the right, where we fight and beat through bushes for quite a nice time. The path is visible and branches are sawn, but still bushes lie on the path and walking is quite hindered. After a while we reach the forest and the trouble ends. We cross the streambed where there is still snow and of course, on the other side there is a distinct path that misleads us again and when it starts ascending, alarm, we turn and recross the snow, it's quite tricky as there is emptiness below and holes visible here and there, but we catch the path and I'm already screaming at Predel . We succeeded.
And of course, the story isn't over yet… descent to the car is a chapter in itself. We descend via Julika-trail, which it is and I definitely recommend it, spiced with steepness, originally routed, past Predel waterfall and Zaročenca waterfall, recommend viewing, for variety cables and what is the best of all, after the whole day let's go a bit up, a bit down and since we at least this time planned ahead, we fell into the car's embrace. Warm beer, heated car, tired bodies, but whatever, we found it, at least one of the pathlets that hide and tempt… description-record maybe confused, but mine, it's hard to describe where and how. Here there are so many pathlets that are "delicious" and lead you to visit them, step on them, but we2 relied on our mapzs map and feeling, which is very important. The path is sometimes distinct, visible and nicely traceable, then it just disappears. No climbing, it's routed through nice natural passages, but from the saddle onwards it winds like a snake and really confuses orientation. It was time-consuming and tiring, as in searching you must be "ready" for everything and more, hehe, but when you succeed… I almost burst with satisfaction, hahaha, as we solved one more riddle and created at least one more… but whatever, that's the charm of exploring, right.
To possible repeaters… persistence and endurance, and joy in everything you don't expect… we2 enjoyed more than
