For all who want a few hours of persistent leg, arm, eye and brain work: recommended. Circular path starts in Koncu, path unmarked (except upper part from Kotličev to bivouac junction), Kotliški graben partly pathless. Read descriptions carefully, it'll pay off. Žmavčarji already described here, nothing new. Interesting guide description for Kotliški graben junction: above rock step turn right. Junction unmarked, invisible, but I found it first try by luck. Where path turns sharp left to rocks, I went right into grass, crossed right up, about to turn back when found cairn in grass leading through cut bushes up right to grass. Then some cairns to cut wall (old shepherd hut?), then bit by nose bit by desc mainly always up, to dens and gully, along walls. Orientation sense helps, else extra detour like my latvic in first gully. Punishment: scree chew 15 min back up . Cairns rare but each welcome. Step with two pegs in last third, toughest part but not too bad, whole path nasty wet/fog/down. Always steep, rocky, crumbly accordingly, parts exposed. KSA guide says guide needed. At exit pondered which gully, chose right (biggest rhubarb), still doubting realized on marked path. Path clear after, sky less so. 15 min clear to cloudy foggy cold windy. Bivouac junction on Veliki Podi worried me (problematic), rushed nonstop over summit down, bit worried admit. Relied on prior walk but thick fog little help. Found cairns to bivouac, last got grateful kiss. Why not mark bivouacs better, for emergencies? Can't find this one in fog/rain w/o knowing. Then down Žmavčarji (knees ungrateful), met locals (beauties), to car. Empty lot, no one on path. Sunday? Season end? Weather held, shower home.
