Peca

Especially in hard winter it is occasionally plowed only to the memorial for fallen partisans. There we turn right into the forest, cross to the meadow and over it (usually trodden) and join the path from karavla. Thus we extend the tour a bit, but the first part is nicely gentle. Since I know this path, I rarely start from karavla.

Thanks for the reply. If we're lucky with the weather, we'll head up there for the first time this weekend.

I call that path "over Rišpek" Regards.

On Tuesday I was on Peč and the road to Topla is drivable almost to the parking lot, up to cca 1300m (where there are two hairpins), from there it's only about 15 minutes walk to the parking lot in Topla. But the road is partially icy, so you need good tires and a bit of courage.
Snow on the path is already less than in the pictures a few days ago, the summit is completely blown clean. Up to 1900m it was mostly sinking in, southern snow, then you could walk on top of the frozen snow.

Today again on Peč. Started from AP in Mežica, via Šteng to the Karavla, from there to the hut on Peč, Mali Peč and to the summit and back the same way. Conditions are still excellent. A bit higher than Karavla it's a bit icy, but with crampons you go like a tank jezik

. At the hut mandatory sunbathing. Then I went to check the climbing path. There's still quite a lot of snow on it, but solid footsteps are made. Cables are under snow in all 3 gullies. The path is passable with ice axe and crampons. Without that, no playing around, or you'll end up express in Topla. The normal path is nicely trodden and compact. Strong wind on the summit, gusts moved me at times. View still magnificent. Summit is completely bare, but enough snow on the path. I was apparently the only one up there in the last 2 days, at least according to the logbook. Jackdaws kept me company on top and I rewarded them with lunch.

I'm curious which huts in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps will be open for New Year's Eve. Thanks for any info.

INŽ19. 12. 2013 18:15:28

Majer, Menina will already be open, so cheerfully to Menina planina, maybe see you up there.

ada19. 12. 2013 20:03:15

INŽ thanks for the info but after phone call with the keeper the hut is reserved for local young hikers, members of PD G.grad

That last "Karavanka" showed a nice face until it lured us under the summit. Then like an important beauty it tried to cover its facade and push us back. We didn't give in. Those last 200m elevation were anything but pleasant, at the top we just turned around, but a bit lower down spring was waiting, with sun and temps above 0. Starting point to Jakob not drivable, another 20 min walk on the road needed. In the morning no tire tracks from the bend where some vehicles were parked (road to there practically dry and drivable without issues). When returning, tire tracks were there, up must have gone something substantial (like a big SUV). I think better to leave car those few minutes lower for now. Hut open, today until 15.00, also Andrej's on Sleme was. Today we nicely drove out the Ljubljana gloom.

Andrejev dom na Slemenu, we stop for coffee

In summer you can get here by car, now you have to walk some switchbacks to here

Somewhere there King Matjaž sleeps. Still.

saddle between Mala Peč and Kordeževa glava, here the wind already picks up

outside it's freezing, outside there's wind...

a bit below the top, the sun checks if we still hold out

Has anyone been up from Podpeča or Mitnek? Where does the snow start?

Regards

Domch30. 12. 2013 17:15:49

Haven't been up there much, but from what I've seen and walked around elsewhere today you can count on snow starting around 900m asl. From the hut to the summit expect quite a nice amount of snow, since quite a bit from before is still left. Shouldn't be too difficult. Won't you start from the valley? winking

Tonika1. 01. 2014 19:00:57

Parked at Mitnek, further without 4x4 we didn't even try. Up to Ninota hut around 1300m we rose above the fog and started enjoying. Views were fantastic. big grin

Track made - but on the summit it was blowing so everything fogged up again - orientation in fog probably a problem. Met quite a few hikers and ski tourers. Hut on Peca open. Descent to foggy valley though....
Good luck smile

Nice pictures. I see it's nicely wintery up there again, so gotta go check it out again at the first nice opportunity.

pjoter4. 01. 2014 09:11:07

I'm wondering if anyone has been up there these days and what the conditions are like
thanks smile

redbull4. 01. 2014 12:38:10

as you can see they were there on Wednesday - you can see the conditions also in Tonika's pics smile

- from Wednesday till today nothing changed as there was no precipitation

regards

I was on Peca on 1.1.2014. Up to the starting point at Jakobe parking I drove without snow chains. Road not plowed but driven on and with winter tires no excessive problem. The path to the summit was trodden. Temperatures quite high so I walked all the time just in a thin long-sleeved jacket. No wind on the summit. Apparently it was windier earlier. Around 12 it was really nice.

Beautiful day on Peca. Warm, sunny and clear weather, magnificent view and frozen crusty base on summit. Quite a lot of visitors so the choughs got enough food tongue

. Snow starts just below the hut; up to the last ascent below the hut the path is completely bare and dry. Roads to starting points (Karavla, Mitnek and Topla) dry. Both paths from Topla are passable too. Lots of snow on summit, which has hardened only on the first slope from Mala Peca to summit. Moderate wind on top, classic for Peca.
