thanks for info regarding roping. We'll rethink the matter and do it so that it's safest.

yesterday day trip Pokljuka - Planika - Triglav and back. No special crowds at summit, weather ok too. Who maintains the fixed protections on this path? On one section below summit torn cable...

Last weekend we also walked this path, to Planika and further to Triglav. It's true the path drags on a lot, but only this one offers unique panorama far around. Staff and food in hut rating five.
We'll return! P.S. Greetings also to medicine students. Lp J

On 18.8 we plan to go to Triglav and I'm curious about the crowds. Pokljuka, Vodnikova, Kredarica, Triglav, Planika.

If there is no snow, I'll head to Triglav once more this year, but only next month. I'm interested in the difficulty of the Tominškova path from Vrata; I've already been to the top from Kredarica, as well as from Planika.
The path from Kredarica didn't seem hard to me; I can expect something similar from Vrata.

On 10. and 11.8 we wandered around Triglav and the area. The huts are already full even on weekdays with nice weather, so I can't imagine the weekends. Regarding the difficulty of the Tominškova path, my opinion is that it is not harder than the ascent itself from Kredarica to Triglav. Have a safe trip!

On Saturday I climbed Tominškova to Kredarica, starting at 15 from Aljažev dom and arriving at 22 at Kredarica. The path is nice, well protected, but steep as hell; it requires good fitness, which I obviously still lack.

After a long time back to Triglav. Classic from Zadnjica to Luknja and to Plemenice. There they finished filming Sfinge and were transporting the load to Vrata. From Plemenice I go straight up to Morbegno, short I-degree climbing, I bring Lojze some fresh bread since he's been up there since 1 August. He tells me that people from Jana magazine visited him, and also filmmakers were there. He'll stay up until Sunday. I continue via Bovška škrbina to Triglav, where I meet a "acquaintance" from this forum with her husband, short chat. Tomaž at the summit doesn't have much work and will leave the summit due to approaching bad weather; former PT president Danica with her group has lunch and then we go down together towards Kredarica. There was no crowd; actually, for a nice August day there were unusually few people; without foreigners, Triglav would have been almost empty. I also noticed that lightning damaged part of the path: pulled piton, some meters of cable missing, but with the right amount of caution it's possible even without it. On Triglav there are substantially more difficult spots without protection. I didn't reach Kredarica because I turned earlier to the "glacier" and crossed Kugyjeva polica (dry and passable without issues), then down to Plemenice and along the old path above Skok to Zadnjica.

Hey Igor, did you ask the guy in sandals about his health?
Can someone give me info on how the Dolič hut looks? Have they finished the renovation works from last year?

This one is still good; on Saturday 7.8 another mature man went barefoot from Vodnikova hut towards Planika ...because his group took his shoes ??????? like in a movie ...

Still better barefoot if you're used to it than in sandals, since some barefoot climbers even climb walls, they say. Lp

There aren't so few barefoot people. Sometimes shepherds, wild hunters etc. always took off their wooden clogs and climbed the harder spots barefoot. Here there is even a Bare Foot club that does trips to the mountains; soon we'll probably see a report from the ascent from Pokljuka to the top of Triglav.
Barefoot walking is actually very safe (in normal weather conditions), because a barefoot person steps much more carefully than a shod one. In sneakers you twist your ankle much more easily.

It's both hilariously funny and worrying at the same time, what Igor noticed up there.
I remember a conversation with an older neighbor who described the post-war visit of people to the Planica ski jump during the world ski jumping championship.
Snow in Planica meters deep, snowdrifts everywhere, train stops already in Jesenice, onwards they go as best they knew and could. In Planica near where my neighbor stood, some city lady in high-heeled pumps sank her whole leg into the snow, underneath bushes. Of course they barely pulled the lady out of the snow, the pumps despite sacrificial searching were never found. Later they offered her some replacement shoes so she could leave for the valley.

Otherwise, walking barefoot on the ground has a therapeutic effect on the whole body, because on the soles there are meridians, nerve endings and chakras, similar to the ears (Chinese medicine), which are connected to the whole body. Massage or walking on the ground (grass dew) has a rejuvenating-energetic cleansing effect on the person and at the same time through acupuncture points we massage the whole body then. Years ago I also visited the healer Wang Aiping from China who came to Slovenia. A gentleman who was desperate visits her and moans that he is medically incurable. Wang just smiles warmly and prescribes him morning and evening therapy of self-massage of the feet with palms 100x. After a month of the man's work on himself, who was already laughing at himself, at the official medical check-up they couldn't figure out what happened to his illness - no trace of the disease since then. The man just laughed heartily thanking Wang, saying no medicine, just simple massage, which he will regularly do in the future for super health.

Hello, I was also on Triglav on 7.8. (up and down in one day) and I also met the barefoot gentleman somewhere between Vodnik hut and Konjski pass ...
First Triglav (Rudno polje-Vodnik hut-Kredarica-Triglav-Planika-Vodnik-Rudno polje) -> despite bad forecast, nice weather, the only shower caught us (thank God) at Vodnik hut, already on the way back. Still quite a few people, but I believe there would be many more if the forecast was better!
Now my opinion on the barefoot guy: for me that's not normal!!! I believe and know that it's healthy to walk barefoot around, but not on sharp rocks and scree, and on pitons ... Especially not on Triglav, let him go to Velika Planina where barefoot walking on soft grass or moss is really pleasant ... I didn't have the feeling he was enjoying walking barefoot on sharp stones, when I asked him about health or why he does it he didn't answer -> don't know if he was a foreigner or preferred to be quiet. Personally I would punish such people because they tempt fate or misfortune.

Dolič hut looks approximately like this (attached picture), only the interior is now arranged. I think they have around 60 beds, kitchen works normally. Didn't ask about health, maybe he'll catch a cold, because today the weather is much worse. But regarding this footwear, statistically speaking most accidents still happen to properly shod and equipped people, almost don't know a case where inadequate footwear was the cause of accident, at least in dry conditions not. But with such footwear a big problem can arise with sudden weather change, thunderstorm with hail, even just rain, then hypothermia can occur, not to mention if snow suddenly falls, as has happened. Here one can say that the one shod like that is completely senseless. In case of rescue one could issue him a bill without hesitation.
Those who deliberately walk barefoot, I almost believe they have proper footwear with them.

Wandering in TNP, which of course required some effort, at least heavy backpacks over Komarča required some sweat, but with the beauties of our protected area and pleasant experiences with individuals on the way they outweigh all effort.
Flowers still intoxicatingly inviting, lakes were cooling for some despite prohibition, friendly caretakers at Dolič and Vodnik hut, and our rescuers at Velo polje, where we sought refuge from thunderstorm and lightning.
First day to hut at Dolič, second day to Triglav, third: plan change due to thunderstorm, return with pleasant guide, i.e. rescuer and TNP caretaker towards starting point Savica source. Three unforgettable days despite thunderstorm.
And safe steps in our mountains, where it's already full of foreign tourists, not hikers.
LP!
