Storžič from Jekarica, Mali Grintavec, Bašeljski vrh

Today to Jezersko and from Kanonir to Jekarica. Car left at the ramp due to viewing waterfalls on stream Reka. Otherwise road to Jekarica open and passable. Along this road to starting point where car can be left, half hour walk. To Bašeljsko sedlo then good hour walk. Cross only three small snowfields, otherwise path dry. From saddle good hour to Storžič top. Path dry, only somewhere mid path by fence posts no path there. At top bunch of sport paragliders with gliders. Watched paraglider takeoffs and two circled summit for a while. At top really all yellow evergreen crocuses. Nice weather and Storžič had plenty visitors today. Back checked hut at Kališče-of course closed. Path to hut on rocks found primrose patch-only one today. Then to Mali Grintavec and from Grintavec to Bašeljski vrh. On way back really viewed wonderful tributaries of Reka stream pouring as waterfalls into Reka. Now they are prettiest.

Storžič from Jekarica, Mali Grintavec, Bašeljski vrh Those smaller snow patches on the path to Bašeljsko sedlo are really no problem.

Storžič from Jekarica, Mali Grintavec, Bašeljski vrh That's the hut roughly in the middle of the path, water isn't flowing. In previous years it always did.

Storžič from Jekarica, Mali Grintavec, Bašeljski vrh Now a good hour's walk and we'll be at the top.

Storžič from Jekarica, Mali Grintavec, Bašeljski vrh These are those pitfalls.

Storžič from Jekarica, Mali Grintavec, Bašeljski vrh The summit is getting closer.

Storžič from Jekarica, Mali Grintavec, Bašeljski vrh Summit with cross.

Storžič from Jekarica, Mali Grintavec, Bašeljski vrh The right side of Storžič still has snow.

Storžič from Jekarica, Mali Grintavec, Bašeljski vrh The summit is really all yellow.

Storžič from Jekarica, Mali Grintavec, Bašeljski vrh Surprise on the summit - paragliders.

Storžič from Jekarica, Mali Grintavec, Bašeljski vrh They were friendly guys.

Storžič from Jekarica, Mali Grintavec, Bašeljski vrh Nice.

Storžič from Jekarica, Mali Grintavec, Bašeljski vrh Primroses can also be found at the Kališče hut. Few people know at all that they are right behind the hut in the rocks. You need to climb a bit there.

Storžič from Jekarica, Mali Grintavec, Bašeljski vrh Above the hut then right to Mačevsko sedlo and Mali Grintavec.

Storžič from Jekarica, Mali Grintavec, Bašeljski vrh This is Mačensko sedlo.

Storžič from Jekarica, Mali Grintavec, Bašeljski vrh We go up there.

Storžič from Jekarica, Mali Grintavec, Bašeljski vrh Summit of Mali Grintavec.

Storžič from Jekarica, Mali Grintavec, Bašeljski vrh This is what the summit of Bašeljski vrh looks like. Both summits have a bench and a box for entries and stamp. On Grintavec the stamp is on the rock.

Storžič from Jekarica, Mali Grintavec, Bašeljski vrh On the way back a visit to the waterfalls along the road to Jekarica. There is lots of water and the clear stream creates numerous small waterfalls and pools.

Storžič from Jekarica, Mali Grintavec, Bašeljski vrh These beautiful waterfalls are created by two tributaries of the Reka stream, which flow so picturesquely into Reka.

Storžič from Jekarica, Mali Grintavec, Bašeljski vrh This is done by the second tributary.

Storžič from Jekarica, Mali Grintavec, Bašeljski vrh And also a living flowing rock at the end.

I'll add some pics from today on Storžiča; with a colleague we were at the top this morning, I think we were first, right behind us another couple. When we go back towards Kališču you started arriving. I'm glad velkavrh that we met when you were telling us somewhere halfway before the top about those beautiful waterfalls, we'll have to visit those in the future too. When we were at koči we also saw paragliders. When we go from the hut in the morning we accidentally scared a wild rooster, it was right on the path and flew to a nearby slightly larger tree in the pines so we watched it for about 15 minutes and listened to it singing.
