Sabotin

In the valley it's real spring, on Sabotin due to high temperature streams have started gurgling. Walking on heavily slushy snow that starts a bit below St. Valentine's church (and today is Valentine's Day nasmeh

) and on streams flowing down the hill was not very pleasant, but still.... nice afternoon hike on sunny and scenic Sabotin.

ksena, really nice pics.... I've been meaning to go for a while....... but keep hesitating..... the pics convinced me to go nasmeh

ksena14. 02. 2013 19:52:35

laik ...go, you'll like it... If you have time I recommend circular route - Solkan bridge - path above rail track (bike path to Plave), in between branch to northern path to Sabotin. At top then continue from guardhouse along ridge to church and down southern path to Sokana or to parking before Solkan bridge. Path is 3-3.5 hours long. Good luck and enjoy

Exactly that path ksena describes, we hiked in February two years ago. Unforgettably beautiful! Gotta go back to those parts!

Today on Sabotin in all its wild beauty. Start behind corridor, continue above corridor, up southern path, down behind corridor. On ridge icy bora was whistling, ahead in last rays glowing Matajur and Krn. On return beautiful views of sunset over Goriška plain and Števerjan. Sabotin always enchants me anew with its special energy.

Sv. Gora - goal of many pilgrims and hikers

Church of St. Valentine, until the end of the 18th century a popular pilgrimage route

behind the altar Škabrijel and snow-covered Trnovska planota

the day bids farewell over Brdi and Goriška plain

Exquisite photographs and even more beautiful places mežikanje

, with the 4th, 11th and 12th photo you could enter some photo contest and it'd be truly shameful and unfair if you didn't win!!! velik nasmeh

Some snapshots from today's budding Sabotin. I headed up the southern classic, which surprisingly was almost uncrowded today. Down a bit around, since wandering on Sabotin is pure joy and only the approaching dusk drives me home.

blackthorn with corymbs of white flowers

green fields below the village Šentmaver

for a moment some blue appears among the clouds

from the inscription a view towards the sunlit Vipava Valley

above the letter T of the current inscription VSTAJA, once NAŠ TITO

at the top at 19:00 - today's views only to Sv. Gore

also Goriška plain in mists, behind it Kras in clouds

I take it across the meadow to the Italian guard post

although everything looks abandoned, at night lights in colors of Italian tricolor still shine from Sabotin

trees reddened in setting sun above green cart track

SuzanaM24. 04. 2013 22:30:47

Today's Sabotin before full moon: green, blooming, hot.

Greening trees on the path already provide some shade behind the corridor

on the meadow under the summit irises will bloom in about a week

awaiting moonrise I go to the refreshment hut/almshut

NW part of the ridge above the refreshment hut/almshut

path continuation along the ridge and on to Korada

view from the ridge to the Northern path

flowering and strongly scented bushes on the ridge

snow-covered peaks of the Julian Alps in the haze

continuing towards the chapel of St. Valentine

After night and morning rain it cleared up and I jumped to Sabotin and met quite a few familiar faces there, so we chatted a bit and then each returned to the start on our own path. I went up the Briška path, start a bit muddy, then completely fine. Along the path I saw besides beautiful flowers also some non-venomous snakes exposing themselves to the warm sun to wake up. As always, Sabotin doesn't disappoint. nasmeh

Wonderful peak with divine view, but such sad past. We had a guided tour that unveiled all the horrors of WWI and WWII. Even a stone would cry.

Today after lunch again to Sabotin, which really always surprises and awakens me with its diversity. Today I went up from village Štmaver, straight on asphalt path to Italian barracks to avoid snakes and ticks. In every period it has its specialties...... nasmeh

From Štmaver village along the asphalt path almost to the top

Italian barracks with lights of the Italian flag

Yesterday's wide views and sky colors from Sabotin. Hard to capture all their splendor and cloud drama, especially if the camera is in its last breaths.

Before sunset from the top of Sabotin - view of both Goricas and all the way to the sea, which is like on the palm of your hand

remains of the church of St. Valentina, behind Vremščica, Nanos and full moon over Trnovska planota

Sv. Gora from the church of St. Valentina

sun in the clouds just before sunset over the Friulian plain

the sea spills into the boundless horizon

the sky is still glowing, although the sun has already set

views from the top of Sabotin before sunset: from Trnovska planota, Nanos, Vremščica and Karst all the way to the sea

After a long time the sun finally showed for a moment. So jump to Sabotin after heavy rain yesterday and today, just right time to admire the sunset.

from the ridge a view of the mountain wreath from Matajur to Črna prst

Sabotin - miniature Alps with a sea touch

Krn mountain range (zoomed), Vodice in front

gently snow-covered mountain peaks just before yesterday's sunset

in the chain Rombon, Krn and Triglav stand out

glowing clouds in the east above Vipava Valley

on the other side the sun got caught in the clouds

after sunset the light strengthened in the east

pink clouds over Nanos and Vremščica remind more of sunrise than sunset

above Soča all white (Matajur in background)

Soča loop and mists around Oslavje (Oslavia) and Kalvarija (Monte Calvario)

from the sea of light and mist to the Adriatic Sea

Sabotin rarely disappoints with colors and views. Also on 12. and 29.11.2013 it was so.

After a longer rainy period, the bora blew and cleared the sky

Mountain peaks were still wrapped in clouds

Orkanská bora quickly drove me from the ridge

Ascent among twisted oaks yesterday before sunset

Triglav peak behind the ridge of Spodnje Bohinjske gore

The most special was the sky above Sveta gora

After sunset the Dolomites were clearly visible

When sun gives its place to moon away,
scarlet color on sky pops into play.
All around glows in the hue of the heaven,
in a minute or two, end of all beauty's given.

SuzanaM, we're glad we relived it too. nasmeh

SuzanaM3. 12. 2013 01:08:03

Otiv, you nicely captured in verses the beauty of the departing day.

SuzanaM11. 12. 2013 22:45:48

The sun is a bigger glowing ball each day, but so what, when the day is so short that from Sabotin I barely catch its end.

leaves of black oak glowing like old gold

barely anything could be seen towards Vipava Valley

the mountains too struggled above the cloud veils

this time the sky was most colorful behind the Karst and towards the sea

all glowing under the bridges in Gorizia (I)

it darkened quickly, above the red sky Venus shone first

SuzanaM really super. I'm going to Slavnik Friday evening. nasmeh

SuzanaM12. 12. 2013 09:33:19

Enjoy the upcoming full moon. Yesterday it was already nicely thick and shone so brightly that shadows were drawn like in the middle of the day.

In anticipation of the sun after these gloomy rainy days, some snapshots from Sabotin 30.12.2013, when the year was saying goodbye in an explosion of colors. They say these on Sabotin are particularly intense. Maybe due to mixing of mountain and sea air, or special energies flowing on this beautiful hill.
