A nice group of hikers gathered, over 20. From Ljubljana by train to Jesenice, via Baška grapa to Solkan. The ride itself is interesting. Ascent on the northern side, many first time, some found the ascent quite steep. Last part through caverns and already at the hut. Sunny, quite windy. Saturday morning one of the colder ones this year, -17 on Kredarica, Primorska still warmer. Larger part of the group continued the path another hour along the ridge towards Vrhovlje or Korada, but we turned back to the hut, since we were also returning by train....
At the hut good service, gnocchi with goulash and other goodies. Host friendly, but interesting that PZS doesn't fix the phone number... but the persistent find everything. Views towards Sveta gora, Julijci, Goriška Brda, Golaki, Čavn, Trstelj, Cerje....Nova Gorica. Sunset as Suzana sometimes described, unfortunately not seen, since the train doesn't wait.
We returned via the southern path with a view of Nova Gorica.
Path dry, well marked, but need to watch your feet, caution is not superfluous. With some addition, 800 m elevation gain and 12 km. For the full Stanič hike from Solkan to Kanal would need about 8 hours and own transport. This year the hike is planned for May 7, somewhat later than usual...
