Velika (Koroška) Baba

The scree path to Baba is harder than Rink from Jezersko and Turski žleb; I assessed it based on the scree and the condition of the fixed protections... The path to Križ is harder than the climbing path to Baba; that's my opinion.

Dear mountain lover,

quoting your post: "...Scree path to Baba is harder than Rink from Jezersko..." and "...to Križ is harder than climbing path to Baba...".

And what is KRIŽ other than (Carinthian) RINKA??? eek

I missed one part: to Križ from Logarska.

Križ is for me also harder than the climbing path to Baba (nothing special); on Križ the cable is not well attached in places, or it just sways, like it wants to touch the rock - quite eerie.

What are the current conditions on the path to Baba from Jezersko... via Slovenska and climbing up? Especially regarding snow? If anyone knows... thanks in advance.

Please for some info (if anyone knows), what the predecessor asks. Conditions on climbing? Is the path dry?

Thanks and best regardsnasmeh

Since there was no fresh info, we went to check ourselves on Friday, 8.6. and since conditions unchanged since then, I can help you now....

Up via Slovenska and onwards from Ledin via climbing, down to saddle between Baba and Ledinski vrh and on Austrian side to Jezerskega sedlo and back down to Ledine.

Path dry, except three small snowfields, which are no problem even without winter gear (first just before entry to climbing part of Slovenske smeri, second somewhere at start of climbing from Ledin onwards, third on Austrian side on return...

Protection o.k., except one torn cable, which is also not in such a place that it would be a problem...

Of course caution is never superfluous anywhere...

Nice path... wish much enjoyment and safe step...

And some pics.

@PV: First congrats for the done tour! nasmeh

How much time did you spend on this path? Can this path be compared in difficulty to climbing on Križ? How long does the climbing take?

Thanks and regards

Thanks nasmeh.

For the ascent we took 3 hours and 50 min. We didn't exactly race and had to fold twice in between and later stretch poles and take pics. For descent we somehow "got confused" with the watch and at the end didn't even know how long we took to go down... zadrega.

We needed about half an hour for climbing on Slovenska, from Ledin onwards about an hour, of course it depends on how much you dawdle... as I said, we didn't race..

Difficulty ratings are so very subjective, that... What do I know... We went last year from Okrešelj via climbing to Križ, seems to me there's a bit more climbing, as for difficulty, for me they are about the same...

Went on Saturday 16.06. from Jezersko via Slovenska to Ledine, then climbing path to the top. Back via Jezersko saddle to the hut, return via Lovska to parking. Nice trail, almost no snow at all, very warm and nice weather allowed enjoying really beautiful and distant views. Dry rock, but still need to be careful due to loose terrain, all in all nothing scary. For me much easier compared to the one on Križ, less airy and exposed, but still has its charms and a few interesting details. Lovska trail is marked as easy descent to the valley, but actually, need most caution there on descent because foot slips easily on pebbles...

Yesterday Velika Baba from Ledine via Slovenska and back the same as the predecessor, so via Jezersko saddle to Ledine. Continuation to Czech hut (through Žrelo) and then down to cable car parking.
All described path is fine. No snow patches on way to Baba practically. One small one from Baba to Jez.saddle, but no issues. And another snowfield after descending to Žrelo heading to Czech hut. ca 10m, but can cross it fine.

Regarding comparison of path to Križ (from Okrešelj) and this climbing one to Baba, the path is almost incomparable (difficulty). To Križ 3/4 airy and at least half secured with pegs, needs real focus.
On Baba really much more crumbly (very), but that's why there's cable everywhere there.

Good luck nasmeh

Yesterday the path took us to Velika Baba. First past Czech hut, then through Žrelo to Ledine. To Baba via the difficult one, which personally surprised me a bit with its crumbliness, otherwise nicely secured except for one broken cable. Weather over this end excellent, visitors to Skuta, Grintovec etc. had more foggy weather.

From Ledine in the morning light we headed up the climbing path to Velika Baba. The path is crumbly at the start, but well secured. At the summit we stood a little before the bells in the valley called for the first morning mass nasmeh. Great views, already quite warm for the morning. We descended to the notch and continued on the Austrian side to Jezersko saddle, jumped also to Ledinsko peak, then to Ledine and down Slovenska to the valley. Great weekend in the mountains at the Gorenjska end nasmeh

Today ascent to Velika Baba done. Start at Czech hut and past Kranjska hut on climbing path to top. Climbing requires quite some arm strength, not overly exposed. On path constant gravel, except slabs with vertical cables. Luckily.nasmeh
Descent to Jezersko saddle and on towards Logarska valley.

Garmont, those slabs really aren't for flies and access over gullies is quite demanding. Thanks for great company. lp

Velika Baba is a nice mountain and path to it just demanding enough to tire a bit. Via Slovenska path to hut at Vadine, then secured to summit, then descent and ascent to Jezersko saddle and back past hut via hunters' path to bottom. Praise for renovation of hunters' path, lots of work done. Recommend descent in valley following marks to Karničar hut, the path was real relief today: green, soft and in forest at least some shade. Worth it if you park where now designated. If you cheat to end of path, then path not so friendly anymore, as ascent awaits. Nice, a bit hot day, not too crowded and good company.

A few days ago Darja and I did the ascent to Velika Baba. From the valley to Ledine, then via the secured path to the top, protections ok, we descended to Sedlo pod Babo and climbed to Ledinski vrh, then back to Ledine. Since I've always been more oriented to the Western Julians and across the border this is fairly new area for me, interesting, especially in the company of a pleasant knower of this areanasmeh.
in May there were completely winter conditions here1

Igor! this part of Kamnik-Savinja Alps was also very nice to me. A few days ago I went from Jezersko, past Kranjska koča, to Rinke. On the way back I went also to Ledinski vrh and to Velika Baba. Via the secured path I descended to the hut and then headed back to Jezersko via Slovenska pot... Weather was nice and feeling even nicer..
Must praise your pics.. all OK..
