Staro Utro

As part of our vacation in Bovec, on Friday we first headed to Staro utro, then to the nearby peak Na Glavah, which is a beautiful viewpoint. On the 3rd bend we meet a chamois that isn't afraid of us at all, but stealthily steps in front of us a bit, then bolts into the rocks. Blue watched it like the ninth wonder velik nasmeh

We also meet Lojze, he was hoeing his field, we chatted pleasantly with him. He really is such a friendly gentleman. After that there was no living soul, we enjoyed the whole day in peace, silence and solitude, which is priceless for me nasmeh

No snow to the saddle, from the hut to the summit there's some, just enough to sink up to your ass velik nasmeh

But we persevered and enjoyed the magnificent views from the top in all directions. On the descent back I landed in the snow a couple times too, so rest at the hunting hut was more than welcome. Descent went without problems, just the path drags a bit, since some distances between bends are reeeally long (700-800 m). Super sunny day with my two tailed ones nasmeh

Lojze takes care of the path and the chickens ;)

The only obstacle on the path, but you can push through the branches.

Those obstacles have already been cleared

Here the path dips a little so the legs can rest a bit.

I walk like on eggshells so it doesn't sink under me, Nessy chills in the scree.

The easiest is to lie on the other one :)

This is how we enjoyed ourselves for two hours

The snow was also an excellent refreshment

Back at Lojzova njivica, this time without Lojz.

Zoran, it really was nasmeh

It's so beautiful here and such peace, no one anywhere, that you can really rest, clear your head and recharge your soul nasmeh

Not to mention the views. I'll definitely come back.

What they'll be like tomorrow, I don't know. These are today's.

We've been eyeing the path to Staro Utro for a while and walked it for the first time on 30.10.2023. The day was rainy, occasionally pouring like from a bucket. No distant views as expected, water gushing in numerous streams from everywhere. In the last part of the path, a larch paradise opens up and here you really soak in the wonderful autumn colors.

Despite heavy rain, met only one mushroom picker and as expected no hikers. All photos taken under an umbrella.

The path is very well maintained. Bends are numbered from 1 to 24. Does perhaps at bend number 9 the hunting trail from the church join? We'll come back to these parts where time flows much slower... nasmeh

View into the valley at one of the steep bends

The impression that the sun would break through, but it was probably just such a strong wish

From here on sharply right along the little path

To the upper right, Plešivec faintly visible

Beautiful, peaceful, time stands still...

As long as Lojze is alive, everything there will be in order.

27.12. from Trenta along the wonderful mule track to Staro Utro.

Start in Trenta under the cloud dome that's been persisting for a couple days. After a few clumps of hardened snow by the road I'd guess winter conditions start soon. zmeden

Actually the first snow patches appeared almost 700 m higher. Above 1400 m walking on softened snow began. Before the hut up to 25 cm. Winter gear not needed.
As expected, I rose above the clouds and enjoyed the views. nasmeh

As expected, on the whole path I met no one, not even Lojze.
It added up to nearly 16 km.

View towards Trenta and the cloud cover above it

Psychedelic atmosphere created by the fog

In the last part of the path. Through the fog, the blue sky is already discernible...

Just before the goal, finally out of the fog...

View back on the sea of clouds. In the background the ridge from Kala, across Krnčica to Krn

Nice view from the terrace of the hunting hut

My wish for this mule track above Trenta was also fulfilled during vacation in Kr. Gora end of July.
Boldly we three set off, me, husband and dog. Since it was a nice Sunday, it was quite crowded up there - altogether we met 4 hikers and on return also local Lojze. The Primorska hikers turned at the pasture, but refreshment and rest at the spring gave me new strength to continue all the way to the hunting hut at Berebica and further to the summit Na Glavi. An older couple from Germany(!) followed us, staying at nearby camp in Trenta, he found this path on the app because no steep climbs allowed. Really none, but still kilometers and elevation add up ... So we met several times, snacked together at the hut, even discovered the summit together in that overgrown scrub (follow left at the end of the path, not right!). Views from the mule track when it opens near the hut were great, from the top even better.
But on descent it got hotter and hotter, which affected the dog mostly. We chatted with the Germans, probably Lojze had been listening to us from his garden for a while and then called out how loud we were. velik nasmeh

Yeah, probably even more so if you live and work in such peace and idyll ... The Germans were amazed by him. He asked a bit about the path condition, all bp. As icing on the cake, refreshment in the Soča in the valley was perfect, we really revived. nasmeh
