If you start nicely in the morning at six you have the whole day time, that means e.g. in 13 hours you'll surely get to Kredarica, and in between you can nap

Redbull, not all hillwalkers are marathoners, even they creak in old age because they overdid it in their youth.
Recently I met a gentleman aged 64 who told me that as lads with the old generation of my area, also the older Dolhar, coordinator of ski jumps, they hiked mountains everywhere, played football, tennis... now he tells me he has both knees made of titanium and still walks normally, but spends the rest of his pension on Mali Lošinj in a small seaside cottage.
Joints are healthy and regenerate more easily with sport, but if we overdo it, we wear them out unnecessarily.

This route interests me too (i.e. Savica-via Sedmerih-Planika (or Kredarica)). Say 5 hours to Zasavska koča, lunch there, then 3 to 4 hours to Planika. Comfortably in one day. At least marked approx. that much.
I haven't gone further than Ledvička on that path ever, so I don't know how realistic... (??)
How is the crossing to Planika (Hribarice)? Can possible snow patches be dangerous?

Last weekend ice axe and crampons were still needed towards Dolič, call the hut, they'll know... times are realistic for ordinary hikers, but definitely better then up from Planika afterwards.

Two years ago a group went along this path, we didn't rush, rested quite a bit and took 10 hours to the top of Triglav, so you have plenty of time, you just need nice weather and good will.

Thanks a lot to both, for the conditions I'll just call the hut.

At Kredarica and Stanič they told me that on the path over Prag there is still some snow patch, but winter gear (crampons, ice axe) is not needed, it can be crossed nicely. Does anyone have more accurate or different information?

@Tatana
Did you call the hut keeper and he told you that?
|
|
|
|
| Tatana1. 08. 2014 12:09:34 |
Žiga22 I called both huts. Who I spoke to I wouldn't know - at Kredarica it was some younger woman, at Stanič a man. Why?

Wait a bit and there will be new snow, then no questions will be needed.

@Tatana
Because hut keepers don't give such info just like that. Not because they wouldn't know, but because they are responsible for the hut operation and not for the conditions on mountain paths. Because they've often heard "it wasn't as they said", and they especially fear lawsuits or similar if someone gets hurt due to wrong info (conditions change day by day). They can give a generic answer like "yes people go up there" or "maybe there's still some snow patch" or similar.
I worked in a hut for a while and all employees (including the keeper) got instructions not to talk about path conditions or weather (they should call the duty forecaster for that).
I can already see people starting to comment that hut keepers should know the conditions and how it is abroad, etc. etc. I say if you want reliable data on conditions, go check yourself. :P

Go up via Prag, down via Tominsko and no problem.

Žiga22, when there were still real hut keepers in the huts they knew how to give very reliable info both on paths and weather, nowadays it happens that someone in the hut doesn't even know which peak is above the hut, let alone about path conditions. It's not about responsibility, but about safety in the mountains and such keepers did a lot for the safety of mountain visitors, including Triglav.
@redbull, Tominškova is much more dangerous for descent than ascent, at least statistics of fatal accidents show that, so it's much better the other way around.

I agree with Igor. Being a hut keeper means much more than being a bartender.

Igor, I fully agree, but unfortunately nowadays there are quick whiners who blame their unpreparedness and incompetence on others who know how to piss them off.
Otherwise, I think as soon as you start giving some information on any matter, responsibility for the reliability of that info automatically falls on you. I believe no one wants to go there.

I give at least 5 different pieces of info weekly about conditions in the mountains, via ZS, FB, GSM, sometimes even with a forum post, often also for Triglav, I stand by them and I'm not afraid of anything

Okay, Žiga, now you're really exaggerating. Hasn't it ever happened to you to hit a traffic jam on the road that wasn't mentioned on the radio? And how do their traffic infos still work? Hasn't anyone sued them? Helping fellow travelers/mountaineers is just the essential task of every hut worker and no one has illusions that it's always perfect.
