14 divisions?

Guest21. 12. 2007 12:54:06

Wonderful shot! nasmeh

Yes, of course every year the Society for Preserving the Memory of the 14th Division March organizes this hike. This hike lasts 3 days and is cck. 70km route length. Organizers are from Laško and I have already participated 4x. Every year I say last time - every year I join - problems are only winter. The hike is in memory of crossing the Sotla river at Sedlarjevo (Podčetrtek) and goes to Gračnica valley (Rimske Toplice). Food, accommodation, everything is well organized and always nice. That's why I regularly participate since I learned about this hike. The hike is joined by cck. 150 hikers every year and some of us are already old acquaintances!!

This year's hike was also successfully completed. Weather conditions were - sun-foggy-cloudy-rain/rain. From Saturday afternoon to Sunday afternoon rain. But we endured that too and good mood was not lacking on the hike. The route was covered by cca.90 hikers (a bit less than previous hikes - due to bad weather forecast). On the way - except some blisters there were no injuries. We faced snow on the ascent and crossing of Bohor, otherwise it was already melted by the thaw.

Border crossing - Sotla river almost flooding

Prevorje (accommodation) already visible

Lisca in the fog / third day of the hike

Does anyone know if gentians are already blooming on Lovrenc? How is Gašperjeva hut open?
They say it's open only on Sundays, but with holidays is it different? If someone is hiking around there, ask?

bP27. 04. 2009 08:31:40

Gašperjeva hut was closed yesterday 26.4.2009. Gentians on Lovrenc are already blooming.

Breg/Lisca/St. Lovrenc/Veliko Kozje/Planina 926m/Zidani Most
We put together a plan for today's tour quickly. We will start with the marked path to Lisca, then St. Lovrenc, Veliko Kozje and we intend to find an asphalt-free path to Zidani Most.
Three minutes before seven we take the train from Zidani Most towards Breg. Sun rays pierce the fog and it's not a very warm morning. First goal is Lisca. Ascent via Jurkova path. No hurry anywhere, today's path will be quite long. While talking, we climb higher and higher towards Lisca over dewy meadows. First we reach the pleasant village of Razbor. Next short stop is at the chapel of St. Jošt. A bit after nine we are at Tončkov dom. On the ridge of Lisca we make a stop for a snack. Sun pleasantly warms and it's getting hot for us.
We descend from Lisca on an unmarked path and also ascend to the opposite slope. Like "our own way" as we are used to. Next goal (St. Lovrenc) is already visible in the distance. On the meadows around the chapel blue Clusius' pasqueflower still blooms. The cat at the chapel "entices" me for sausage. Veliko Kozje is the next goal. The path is quite steep but pleasant in the beech forest for walking. A bit after twelve we are at the top. We continue along the ridge to the viewpoint. A hearty snack follows and we gaze from the ridge above sheer walls and stone towers. Above Lisca it's already thundering so we hurry. Fresh wind cools us on the way. We descend on the marked path to Gašperjeva hut. Where the path to Radeče branches we go to the ridge we viewed earlier. Above sheer walls we advance on chamois trails. The ridge is quite long... Finally we start descending. No traces that anyone walks here. Descent is steep!!
Finally we reach the forest road. We are a bit in dilemma where it leads us...? No view and hard to orient. Then we reach the right road. We descend steeply and in a moment Milan spots a steep path into the forest. Let's go!!?? A nicely traced path brings us straight to Zidani Most. After eight hours we are at the parked car near the railway station.
In eight hours we did the whole path. We used marked paths and quite a lot unmarked ones too. We explored many things and discovered new....!!

Breg railway station (a little after seven o'clock)

Ridge on Lisca and picnic area for snack

Hawthorn flowers for a strong and healthy heart

As if someone had hung a wreath on a beech tree

Descent. This is the end of the long ridge

After eight hours we sight the final goal of the path

The ridge along which we walked is nicely visible from the main road

The ridge on the last picture is really visible from the road and very inviting. Again a good idea for a hike and really wonderful photos of the flowers. You had a good time, no doubt.

This ridge is so untouched... Probably only chamois claim it and enjoy their peace above the sheer cliffs. Need to repeat it to remember the key points...

Enka11. 05. 2016 17:11:10

This is a nice idea. To imitate. How much elevation gain (so I can calculate how long I'd need jezik

geppo11. 05. 2016 20:13:54

Enka
a bit over 2000m. Nice tour with a beautiful finish. The ridge isn't difficult, but quite wild with nice views of sheer cliffs and the Savinja far below...
regards

View of Veliko Kozje, where we were a little earlier

When the ridge ends, a descent follows (we were constantly afraid that rock steps would block our path)

We walked along the ridge the whole time, guided by chamois trails

garmont11. 05. 2016 20:52:35

Great, but that much elevation gain? zavijanje z očmi

Or is it?

geppo11. 05. 2016 20:55:52

No Garmin. The track was drawn by Endomondo and ...that's what it says? We sweated quite a bit up/down... nasmeh

all eight hours.

The path described above we repeated today in the opposite direction. During the hike the idea comes up to do the ascent from Zidani Most towards the transmitter we spotted peeking from the forest on the opposite bank of the Savinja while driving.
At 7am with Milan we park in Zidani Most. Across the bridge and steeply up the opposite bank. Houses and cottages squeeze into the slope, finding their place there. The road is steep, standing almost vertical in places.
Between houses we look for passages and finally on a trodden path in the forest. The path is overgrown with blackberries in places.
At the water reservoirs we decide to go our own way.
Then to the deer enclosure, which changes our ascent direction a bit. Finally on the ridge leading to Veliko Kozje. We climb to the top and continue to St. Lovrenc. Clusius' pasqueflower not blooming yet. Need to wait a bit more.
On Lisca we drink beer after 6 hours of walking. It's hot.
Now the descent to Breg railway station. Wait for the train and at 16:00 in Zidani Most we finish our outing.
Nice, fairly strenuous path. After the first rain it will green up/bloom and be even more beautiful!
No need for crampons/ice axe, dry conditions. cool
