7.7.2014 - a nice July Monday and Obir from the Šajda saddle. Warm, sunny, nice views.

Celovec and the beginning of Vrbsko Lake.

Veliki vrh, Hajnževo sedlo and Košutica.

Today again on Obir. This time I made it straight from Železna Kapla. The path is very nice and thrilled me; to the Železnokapelska hut I met no one except a herd of chamois. At the hut packed with cars and many hikers, real pilgrimage path. No noteworthy snow; actually that little snow where it is can be easily bypassed, it's south-facing. At the top warm, light breeze and nice view into the valley on the Austrian side, but fog persisted all day. Descent same path back.

The most homely jackdaws are the Obir ones.

Is the road to Šajda dry (plowed) and to Obir trodden? Thanks in advance for info.

Does anyone know what conditions for skiing are? Enough snow?

Domch30. 03. 2015 14:00:15

Snow is definitely enough (judging by Peca having enough), since quite some new snow fell so up to 1700m it shouldn't be questionable.

Yesterday with friends from Gorenjska we walked a circular path. We started at Šajda saddle, with Uroš we went to Kravji vrh too. Then together to Obir summit. For descent we chose Obirska planina, at the hut drank something, then nice trail and tracks to saddle. Nothing special on the path, but we will repeat the tour due to poor views, the fog was teasing. Regards.

Hi, wonder if anyone was on Ojstrc last days, is path trodden and how far by car? (since some barrier?)
Thanks

viharnik19. 02. 2016 18:41:54

The barrier is there so that you go to the mountains mainly on foot.

Janezs20. 02. 2016 15:35:19

andr3ejj I think you don't even know this area in dry conditions. Better wait and check the surroundings in dry conditions, then choose a winter hike. Regards.

If you still want to go, I recommend going by car to the Šajda saddle then up the marked path. You can count on 3 hours of walking to the top if it's somewhat trampled, if not then up to 5 hours, it's possible you won't get up at all due to snowdrifts, the depth is certainly more than a meter and where the drifts are even much more.

Thanks all, after all asking isn't a sin, I'll definitely think thoroughly about the trip, even if I don't go on this path now I don't worry at all, since I'm well aware the mountain remains mežikanje

With Metod we decided to go to Ojstrc / Hochobir / where we haven't been yet. We drove to Kapelška koča. From the barrier it'd be quite long. For lifting the barrier 6 euros. Just a bit above the hut snow starts but we didn't sink much. From the top we went to Kravji / per some data also Kurji Vrh or Kuhberg / Nice weather except a bit more wind on top. On descent we sank a bit more. On the path we met no one but heard two. I liked it, just from Ljubljana it's a bit long...... to drive.

A few more of my sunny pics to fill the rainy end of the day, ...

Misantrof8. 05. 2016 16:45:56

I'm curious where you saw that another name for Kravji vrh is Kurji vrh too, as almost local I've never heard that name. Of course I allow the possibility that I just don't know everything.

On Kravji vrh there's a cross not visible in pics. So didn't you give up too soon and go home believing you'd summited nasmeh

Misantrof, you have ZS

Domch11. 05. 2016 10:36:51

Next time, if you want less driving and more walking, start from the valley up, several marked and interesting paths, length 3-5h depending on pace. mežikanje

Sorok21. 05. 2016 20:52:50

Tinky & Todi gave me idea, so today I went alone from Železnokapelska koča to Ojstrc then over Obirsko sedlo along ridge to both peaks of Kravji Vrh.
Weather sunny with some clouds, wind negligible.
Path to V. Obir dry, only higher to top some snow patches, but passable BP. A bit more snow on path thru scree on ridge to Kravji vrh; in places sank a bit.
To top of Ojstrc met no one, after that around 50 hikers. Nice tour nice day nasmeh

Also this: bit surprised when on Austrian border side (Jezerski vrh) soldier (...or cop?) stopped me and ID checked. Due to migrants, he said.
Reminder again: barrier machine takes only coins.

Remains of Rainer hut and Storžič in the background.

Kravji vrh on the right in the foreground, Košute ridge in the background.

Outdated orientation, but satellite failures do not affect it.

Obviously no one has walked here for a long time

Today on Hochobir. Start in the valley and exploring the path from Suha. On the path lots of fallen trees, also the path in the middle part quite overgrown and in places poorly traceable. From the chapel up no problems. At the top some cloud bands. From the top also to Kravji vrh, where there was a hail shower. Descent to Kacmunov križ and to Šajda. On Obir lots of visitors, on Kravji vrh peace. Nice tour with not the best views.
