Velika Baba above Krn Lakes

Yes, really ... still pulls me back, to cross some more summit, Lanževica ...
But drive, time, weather - bunch of conditions that have to come together for wishes to come true.
LP!

Today did a twelve-hour tour - main goal Velika Baba above Krn Lakes. Started half an hour before dawn from Savica. There you can walk in twilight, path is good, no traps. Before seven at the hut below Bogatinsko sedlo and right above the hut towards Lanževica. Grasses were high and wet - wet to the knees. Nothing better fared the lady who started with me from the hut, she chose to go to the mountain from Bogatinsko sedlo. Where both paths join halfway, we met. Path is pleasant. After two and a half hours from the hut you're at the summit. Summit has no stamp, no logbook. There the decision fell to go to Velika Baba, as Igor Zlodej suggested. The lady had been there, so excellent guide. From the summit of Janževica towards Velika Baba really a faint track that disappears often and you have to find passages yourself. In nice weather like today possible, and you see Baba opposite. In fog not possible. Below summit we hit the path from the lakes. Summit has logbook, stamp down in the hut. Then pleasant descent, strudel in hut, lake visit and back over Bogatinsko sedlo. Nice, flowers abound - all from globeflower, tons of edelweiss, towards Baba summit lots of Relikan's (black) gentians, slopes up and down around Baba glow with Dryas, various bellflowers, Sternberg's pinks, various rockjasmins, Triglav flowers, gentians, hairy alpenrose and more I could list.

Morning view of the peaks from the hut at Komna. Still need to go to those peaks.

I wasn't alone, on the right my guide from Velenje.

View of Velika Baba from planina Duplje.

The fog will hide the ruins of Italian barracks.

On the return, view of Bohinj Lake from the Komna hut.

Yesterday little granny heads in good company to Velika Baba. Start in Lepena, quite some cars. To Velika Baba turn at first junction. From there on to Mountain Hut at Krn Lakes we meet only two hikers on Velika Baba. Pity the day to go from Baba to valley, so we traverse to Montura, where we indulge in pleasures the day offers.

and since we haven't sweated properly yet, we turn right over the scree and prolong the ascent

from the top of Velika Baba then uaaaaau on all sides

we descend to the unmarked trail that leads us...

... to the marked path that leads from Krn Lakes to Komna

they are in no hurry to change into a golden robe

across the solitary mountain Duplje to the Planinski dom

Today from Lepena with friend to Velika Baba. In Lepena morning +1, temp on shady side towards Krn Lake didn't change much. Path to ca 900m dry, there ice starts, at rest place at cableway snow begins. At snow depth measure +6 degrees. To here snow trodden, at junction to Baba few steps, breaks through, then snow holds weight, frozen snow, mandatory crampons. Towards summit quite warm and here and there cloud for scenery. At summit windy, descent mostly on thawed snow, super tour!! nasmeh

The logbook is completely filled and is disintegrating. There is no stamp on the summit, but it is in Dom pri Krnskih jezerih

Conditions on Velika Baba on 28.1.2014.

http://aktivendan.blogspot.com/2015/01/velika-baba-2016-m-zimski-vzpon.html

But on this day the conditions due to newly fallen snow are completely different and the time for ascent is not suitable.

Nice day today on Velika Baba. At the top a little wind. But no frost. No hikers either, except two guys who went to the top as I descended. And a herd of chamois I saw from farther away. First time I was on this peak. The path is nicely laid out. Offers plenty of views. Probably better visited in summer - who knows...

Today I didn't know where to go - so many options.

In Lepena in the morning a bit cold. You walk through the shade to the junction.

I decided for that one. God made the baba for that, so not everything would go to maloro - that song by Mlakar.

You need to look around a bit when you're up here for the first time

Only thorny thistles adorned the grasses

There is also a register box up there - I just forgot to sign it.

Krnsko jezero was visible from the top. It was frozen.

At this sign, another path was visible. Nothing said where it leads.

And that one behind? What if it's Montura??

Ascent to the summit - slightly steeper section with plenty of views

That's the little path that branches left. To Montura.

Well, bye summit. I'll definitely come up in summer.

Darinka, you can put the 11th picture as a riddle, which peaks are in the background? nasmeh

After a long drive from Styria we arrive in Lepena, where at 9 o'clock we start towards the hut at Krn Lakes, where we are after two hours of walking. After refreshment and snack we head to Velika Baba rising above the hut, the path is nicely laid out, beautiful views accompany us and after a good two hours we are at the top, where we take a longer rest and enjoy views all around, as Velika Baba is really a great viewpoint and it's worth climbing up. After rest we descend to the path from Bogatinsko sedlo towards Krn Lake where we refresh tired feet in not too cold water, then descent past the hut where we stop for beer and on to the valley, we return in the evening at eight after 19 km walking and 1600 m altitude gain, then long drive home, but it was worth it, rewarded with nice nature and views, recommend.
