Poldašnja Peak - Jof di Miezegnot

bagi16. 05. 2022 12:18:43

We've missed high mountains for a while, so we quickly decided for a visit to close neighbors. After obligatory morning coffee at David in Trbiž we drove a few km further and parked at arranged parking in Valbruna. Chose path 607 which via gentle road brought us to Raune alpine pasture. From there past Zita chapel nice comfortable hiking path. Goal … Poldašnja Peak.

But that was without the innkeeper. Whole path without issues to saddle below last steep, there steep wet snowfield blocked continuation. Too dangerous even with winter gear, so turned and chose nearby Little Poldašnja Peak instead. Also nice rewarding goal, we finally quenched thirst for deep vistas velik nasmeh

. Snow in shady spots will linger quite some time, won't talk about its quality. Darn!

We park on the edge of Ovčja vas and head towards 607.

The gentle gravel road rises only slowly.

Planina Rauna with renovated shepherd hut.

Just a little above the planina there is a beautiful Zita chapel.

Dedicated to the last Austro-Hungarian empress Citi.

Higher up we reach a junction where we turn left.

Snow patches seem more numerous at first glance than expected.

The snow is completely rotten, so winter gear stays in the backpacks.

We do gymnastics on dry edges and seek dry passages.

Even the scree occasionally comes to our aid

We are already below Mala Podašnja špica, today's reserve goal

Memorial to soldiers from the First World War right below the summit

Poldašnja špica. Due to the steep snowfield on the left we abandoned the ascent to it

On Saturday climbed this peak, but for those real far views need to try again. Why not, was my first time here after years postponing, yeah sometime gotta go up here.
Plan was loop tour, but not sure if we'd want to hike from Zajzera parking back to Sheep path. Said decision on summit. But quickly decided not return via that scree, better try other scree nasmeh

. And from idea nice loop came out. Descent via Gemona bivouac where clouds started clearing and via Rudni vrh to Grego hut, left gear and sat at side table where nice view to Montaž group doesn't miss. With coffee and beer time flew, so left comfort and continued bit on path bit on new road to valley. From there not most appealing but had to get to car.

But good path combo, little after Montasio hut turned to forest path bringing to wide scree of Zajzera stream and walked first fine gravel later among boulders until springs everywhere made lively brook rushing thru scree to Ovča vas. Here to bank but returned to water, also to Oitzinger inn checked and followed branches to Pellarini hut. Added about six km but liked very much. Really nice loop tour!

Mostly on the road, some shortcuts to pl.Rauna

A bit higher the path runs through larch forest

At the saddle nice views of Montaž, later it clouded over

View eastwards: Lastovice, Lepa glava, Nabojs

Down there runs the Carlo Chersi path past bivouac Stuparich, zoomed

On the rock by the scree towards Poldašnja there were

already towards the summit, Mangart in the background

summit with lots of space and good energy

really beautiful summit, Piparji in the background

descent from the summit, caution required

something was pointing, but I had enough to deal with

parking here, ahead the road leads to Dunja

approximate view from in front of Koča Grego towards Škrbina nad Tratico and path to Špik nad Nosom

but before boulders at bend it sinks again

but here waters really gushed from everywhere

and merged into stream towards Ovčja vas

back at parking where beautiful loop closed

Large well-maintained parking lot, free parking, well-marked trail and secured below the summit with "new" cable. Trail is dry, moderate wind on top, fine lower down.

Where is this free parking? At Rudni vrh?

ljubitelj gora6. 05. 2024 13:47:03

At the end of Zajzera, haven't seen any signs for parking payment yet.

turbo6. 05. 2024 14:38:31

I paid at the end of December, just before the holidays, I think 6€ (maybe 5€, I'm not sure). At the start of the valley there's (was?) a wooden hut in the middle of the road and the ladies demanded I pay. Last summer too they collected when I was there by bike, of course no need to pay then. There are comments on the net, mainly Italian, all complaining about the parking fee. So it's good to have some change just in case, the walk to the valley end or last parking is quite far, especially if going higher up.

We two were already 2x in summer in Zajzeri and no parking collected. Once afternoon bad weather, second early morning (early for Italians) no one in hut. So never know ... Next time we'll drive on purpose through Dunja to Rudni vrh to see areas and approach two-thousanders winking

A few years ago there was a parking meter where you got a ticket and put it on the windshield. How many eur, don't remember.

franca7. 05. 2024 13:39:07

Last September they collected parking in the hut at the valley start. Probably only in season.

mirank7. 05. 2024 20:25:30

Last January we went from Ojcinger to Višarje. Payment was at that shack in Ovčja vas.

keti19. 05. 2024 14:58:43

I last August at that hut paid 6 eur, they collect only till 15.00.

lynx29. 12. 2024 20:05:37

In Zajzeri about a decimeter of snow, to summit 2-3x more but no base — good skis stayed home. Valley entry charged 5€.

To bivak now well trodden, further less. From pasture onwards constant sun snow softens quickly, in shade earlier but with considerable delay. For summit better early in these conditions, for other parts of the trail not.

I drive to Dogna and up the mountain road to 1100m, past the hut and through the bends to Rudni vrh. The snow mostly held the weight, conditions were good, the fixed cables are out, with crampons to the top. Descent via the approach route. It's nice in this area, I'll come back again.
