Last year on 30.10. I traversed the ridge from the chapel to Savinjek. I hope the weather serves me this year too, to repeat...

A few more days will surely still be ideal for this ridge. On the northern sides there are only patches of snow.

I don't remember ever observing and hearing the rumbling of avalanches above Logar Valley at the end of May.
Yesterday I experienced it all the time while hiking over the peaks above Zabrložnica. First it poured into the gully right of the entrance to Grlo, later Bela grapa was "very active" too. Even from Glava Planjave it poured once. Also from Brana across the path leading from Okrešelj to Kamniško sedlo.
Later it started rumbling above the hunting trail from Logarski kot through Grlo. It poured from Mrzla gora too, right where I approach Krnička gora in winter.
A couple hundred meters lower I enjoyed the multitude of auriculas on the ascent and descent.
Everything was yellow.1

Yesterday visit to these remote areas. Since time didn't allow anything higher, I only went to the hut, meanwhile wandering a bit here and there along Zabrložnica.
Among other things, I took time to see the waterfall under the double window (someday have to go up the streambed to it velik nasmeh ), which was quite watery.
No peculiarities on the path, except above the double window an avalanche took it, detour over steep grasses that can be dangerous when wet.
On descent I spotted a female chamois with kid, but they were too fast to catch in the lens.
Restful for the nerves cool

Today I had an interesting double tour that I'll probably never forget. In the morning I surprisingly spotted Milan at the parking lot in Logarski kot, who was already cheerfully eyeing the slopes. We were headed in the same direction but each on our own, me towards the window, him under the Turns, both exploring. Together we walked a good part of the path towards Zabrložnica, then parted and each took his own way. After a demanding pathless traverse on the left side of the gully I was soon at the hunting hut. The weather was nicely clearing up and autumn colors started revealing their magic. Golden-yellow beeches dominated, larches were still coloring, higher up more yellow. From the hut I went my own way over steep grasses straight up to the ridge and from there traversed left towards the window. I was there for the first time, so I didn't know exactly where, but my feeling didn't deceive me, I made it. It's very nice at the window. I heard talking coming from the west side and soon two hikers joined me. We chatted a bit and descended together to the saddle where we parted, they on the hunting path towards Okrešelj, me towards the Turns. A bit of bushwhacking, some climbing, nice II (crumbly), and I was first on the first and then on the second Turn, a solitary viewpoint from which the view is truly incredible. I rested a bit, poured some tea, when suddenly a shaggy figure jumped out from behind the rocks on my left. I got scared like mad, where did I think Milan would climb up the ridge of the Turns and surprise, scare me at the top. Haha! We both laughed. We enjoyed it. We continued the tour together. From the Turns we chose a climbing descent and from the saddle headed towards Okrešelj. It was hot, almost too much. From Okrešelj we descended to the junction for the shepherd's, wandered a bit and together decided to look for the hunting path that Milan had already walked halfway under the Turns in the morning, to see what that connection is like. We managed to find the entrance and the wild traverse began. The path was and wasn't there. When traversing the exposed gully we descended too low and ended up on very steep chamois tracks. The more we pushed through chamois passages, crawled and grabbed roots, the more it seemed to me that we would have to turn back, even through very demanding terrain. Milan was convinced that we would soon be out of trouble and his feeling didn't let us down. We managed to climb to the hunting traverse under the Turns and immediately sighed in relief. We should have stayed higher but what, when in the steep gully we completely lost the path. Since everything happens for a reason, it's good to get lost sometimes too. At least we saw and experienced what a demanding world it is in the heart of Logar Valley. Soon after we caught the trail leading to the kot. Each on his own and together we were both happy and satisfied, as we both succeeded in what we set out to do. After almost eight hours we were at the car. Super tour!

Yesterday I headed to visit Matko's Window. Weather was fantastic. I started the path at the Logarski kot mountain hut. The path is passable, only here and there interrupted by a fallen tree and in one part avalanche.

To not open a new topic, yesterday our path to the window was long. With Tone we traversed the first part of the ridge, touched all the little peaks and wondered where which hill is that isn't even on Tone's map yet. Still don't know if Orlovec is at the beginning of the ridge or some insignificant overgrown elevation in the extension of the ridge. On the hill above the window we concluded and left the second, more demanding part for another time. Already to there almost 1700m ascent accumulated. Who knows what's with these meters, they are always harder and there are always more.nasmeh
We started here. In the morning, when I arrived, it was still raining.1

Well, you could open it, Drago. It would be called: Wonderful ridge between Logar Valley and Matko's kot.
For Dragot it was just one of the repeated tours, for me a wonderful all-day experience.
The start itself was something special. After a few steps from the parking lot at the chapel we were without markers and trail already on the steep slope. Luckily I at least approximately knew what awaited me, we drove one car under the waterfall, about 7km away, so that's how long the varied ridge is too, which is not at all like a promenade, since Drago measured 1742m total ascent on his watch. (sorry for my previous superficial datazadrega ) The weather served us super, walkers nasmeh didn't bother us, besides birdsong the late afternoon rumbling of snow avalanches from Rink caught our attention.
On mostly pathless terrain Drago orients excellently, so I could completely switch off my head. Only great concentration was needed on many demanding passages. We had super weather, but not that blue I got a bit spoiled with this year. The route is really interesting and scenic, since you're almost always on the ridge, views reach into one or the other valley, ahead mighty two-thousanders. Interesting that it's already June, northern sides still heavily white.
Orlovec, Kipernik, Veliki vrh, Pavličev Kogel, Koran and Savinjek (Drago knows a few more) are for me completely new, first-time hiked peaks and since I'm still young,velik nasmeh I hope not the last time.
Drago, thanks for the wonderful day!

I've wanted to repeat the Turns from years ago for a while. I text Janez if he's in, and that we go to the window too. He calls me yesterday saying tomorrow great weather. I take a vacation day and go nasmeh
Morning at half past 6 we start from Logar Valley. To the hunter's hut we go dead quiet, watching for chamois. Nothing. At the hunter's hut Janez says: We're going to Savinjek too right? Yeah why not. And it started nasmeh First Savinjek, then Red Tower, then Matko's Window which I watched from below, Janez of course climbed up and over cool
Then Turns, best view of KSA chain from there. Descend to Okrešelj and back to car in Logar Valley, finish with beer and homemade struklji nasmeh
Super tour!
