Pivkelj

Pivkelj is the highest peak of the Moravče municipality. The peak is managed by PD Moravče, on the path there is the hut of Moravče mountaineers, which will soon be built. The hut is already open on Saturdays and Sundays, when it is managed by PD Moravče members. The Pivkelj summit is also adorned by a wish bell donated by a society member. The path is wonderful even at this time, full of flowers. Some can be picked as herbs for tea. Not far away, under the church of St. Neža there is a mountain hut in private ownership and is open on weekends from 9.00 to 17.00.
Even on a fresh rainy workday, when I climbed from Moravče to Pivkelj, visited the church of St. Neža on Slivna, which is fifteen minutes away, I enjoyed it. For ascent and descent I needed a good three hours. From Moravče I headed towards the Mountain Hut on Žerenku, then continued the path past the entrance to Osoletova Cave towards the highest hamlet of Moravče municipality, Štanci Lazam. The hamlet is secluded, despite the friendliness that embraces you here. I continued the path towards Pivkelj. On the way I also turned to the Zapodje quarry, where they mine sand from which lime is produced in Kresnice. The path is not demanding, we ascend approximately 500 m, but offers nice views towards Sava, to the other side towards Moravče, at the mountain hut on Žerenku we see Kamnik Alps, Karavanke and on nice weather also the wreath of Julian Alps. Visit this path, you won't regret it.

Not Pinkelj, but Pivkelj turn, the highest peak of Moravče municipality.

The topic for this peak is already open, mežikanje true, but under...Pivkelj. Agree on the correct name and then maybe one topic mežikanje closes. Lp

Since no expert, say, with a geo.... or slo.... prefix has joined the debate (yet), I'll try a bit less professionally - more in an everyday way. In my opinion, somewhere in the times of Linhart, Vodnik, Prešeren and even Cankar and Župančič... the peak was named Pinkelj turn. But the name over decades started sounding somewhat old-fashioned, maybe too German, maybe some!? negative connotation and eventually with the development of the Slovenian language naturally ,,N,, got lost and ,,V,, appeared more. Of course the word Pivkelj sounds somewhat more sonorous, important, rich... and over time locals and others probably adopted it. Interestingly, the word ,,Pinkelj,, is still detected by the search engine in hunting topics on the division of hunting grounds, territories and similar in the Moravče area for which it is characteristic that they cling strongly to old names, the question is!? What is in the cadastre and still in daily use among locals. Probably or quite probably some expert would ,,tear me apart for what I spread,, but I think some truth is in my record... End, bottom line it doesn't matter Pinkelj or Pivkelj... the main thing is the peak is interesting. Lp

Yes, Pivkelj is right! Verified! Otherwise just up! Raspberries are already ripening right now!

Some photos from today's outing Moravče - Dom Ušte-Žerenk - Pivkelj - sv. Neža - GEOSS - sv. Florijan - Dom Ušte-Žerenk - Gorišca - Katarija - Moravče.
The whole trail is normally passable.

On the last day of the regional lockdown (mainly because of hills and mountains I really hope the last one) we headed from the Hut on Uštah towards Pivkelj. The path itself is nothing special, but it was adorned with very nice views. For a bit of exercise it's perfectly fine. There were few people, some hiker was searching for her dog in the middle. Over the summit an icy wind was blowing.

Last week the regional lockdown was still in effect, so we chose Slivno, the highest peak Pivkelj. I've been there before, but never from the Moravče side, like this time. Also at the hut on Uštah or Žerenk, first time. Easy path, well marked. First to the Pivkelj summit, then to Geoss, the little church of St. Neža and back to the starting point. I hope the ranch at Osolet and the hut on Uštah will reopen soon, the hut on Slivni probably not...
