Premužić Trail

bumslpepe24. 04. 2016 08:32:17

Again the same tour as last October. Velebit doesn't disappoint. There are stoves in the shelters, and enough suitable wood in the surroundings too.

Meetings with people who permanently live on Velebit (Ante at Zavižan, Tihomir-Mršavi at Skorpovac) and other visitors always bring something new and special.

Premužić trail was still partially snowy, winter gear was in the backpack. During the day the snow was soft, in the morning quite hard.

I'll come back to Velebit.

Here crampons were put on feet, beech forest ideal for skiing

@bumslpepe...you have ZS. mežikanje

Yesterday we started at Velike Brisnike and via Plančica to Rossi's shelter. The path is carefully marked, but in one part due to fallen trees it is almost impassable. jezen

After resupplying with water we continued to Zavižan.
Premužić's trail always fascinates me anew and yesterday was no different. mežikanje

Today in the rainy morning we descended via Žive Vodice to Brisnica valley. This path is also marked, but I doubt it has much traffic. zavijanje z očmi

In short, Velebit didn't disappoint this time either.
Regards

After a two-hour ascent we arrive at Plančica

On the descent the path can be like this...

Return to Brisnica and the loop is closed.

Trip similar to the previous one, start in Klada, Zavižan, sleep at Rossi's, then sleep at Alan and descent to Adriatic highway.

The ambience was really fairy-tale like this time. Let the pictures tell the rest.

Me too, I wandered there for a few days in the summer, but at Rossijevem I didn't sleep, because fleas eek

had infested the shelter. So it said at the entrance then and I hope the frost..... zavijanje z očmi

May Day holidays spent on North Velebit. First day from Alan to Zavižan, second day back. In between Crikvena, Vučjak and Gromovača.
Premužić trail still snowy in places, but snow no longer a problem for crossing. Just expect wet shoes. velik nasmeh

Regards

In the background the Kukovi are already visible

Through the snow-covered forest towards Alan

No flowers yet to see, which means spring hasn't arrived in true sense ?! zmeden

garmont3. 05. 2017 19:49:05

True. There's still plenty of snow and obviously this winter wasn't so stingy with it. zavijanje z očmi

Some pics from a ten-day jaunt around Velebit.

Start at Zavižanu, sleeping at Rossiju, Ogradjenici, hostel Baške Oštarije, Ždrilo, Šugarska Duliba, Visočica, Struge, Dušice and last night under open sky at Babrovači below Zavižanom.

On this path from Svetog Brda I didn't descend into Paklenica, but continued to Malog Alana and along "Majstorska Cesta" towards Maslenica.

Some pics coming this evening.

Šugarska Duliba - renovated - continuation

Architect and main contractor of Šugarska renovation Ivan Juretić in action - kudos

Very nice. How did you organize the tour logistically?

bumslpepe10. 09. 2017 18:06:50

Logistics are as follows: By car to Zavižan (parking at about 1500m). Carry your own food, no shops on the way. If lucky, you can eat at Alanu and drink beer at Tihomir on Skorpovcu. You can also eat at Baških Oštarijah. Water is mostly spring water at bivouacs, so I boiled it mostly. From Mali Alan I walked 8km along the road, then a local stopped and took me to the bus stop. Then bus to Starigrad Paklenica for ćevapi and beer, then bus to Gornja Klada and hike back (with overnight at about 900m) to Zavižan and car.

Orientation no problem, paths excellently marked, some well-trodden, others less (on some probably more bears than people).

Maps on phone (Orux Maps app and Balkan map - openandromaps). Only for section from Jelova Ruje - (from Šugarska) to Visočica and on to Struge I downloaded GPS tracks from http://info.hps.hr/putovi/putovi .

Thanks. I've done some of it already, just not in one go. On N. Velebit I even had a close encounter with a she-bear with cubs. nasmeh

Four more days on Velebit. Start in Kladi. Then Zavižan, sleep at Rossiju and next day at Ogradjenici. Plan was next day to Ždrilo. En route learned there were already 14 there (in 4x3m bivouac) so extended to Šugarska Duliba. Night wandering in foggy Velebit has its special charm. At Šugarska we were three. Hats off again to those who renovated the bivouac.

Today just descent to the highway.

Weather from clear to fog and rain.

Premužićka is still under snow. If temperatures high no problem, otherwise winter gear mandatory.

At Alanu in the hut there's a warden, can get something to eat and of course beer. How it is at Zavižanu (is Ante still there) I don't know yet, probably go there on return.

Best regards from Baških Oštarij (radler and čevapčiči).

Then on to Ždrilo.

Another trip along Premužićka. Start at Zavižanu, sleep at Rossiju and Ogradjenici, then to highway and from Klada hike back. Weather all sorts. At Rossijeva hut the bora blew off part of the roof, which they plan to repair soon. Rest let the pics say.

From Thursday to Sunday on Premužićka. Start afternoon from Zavižan. Sleep at Rossiju, then Ograđenica and back to Rossiju and to car at Zavižan. Water at Ograđenica OK. At Rossiju as usual dead snails floating in it. Live ones make sure nights aren't boring.
