Velika Planina

Yesterday, curiosity drove me to check the condition of the path over Rigelj to the mentioned mountain. I have to admit I soon regretted going because already the start of the path hinted that no one has dealt with the ice damage yet. Already at the very beginning, the hunting feeder suffered, as a huge tree fell on it, so they removed it completely. From there the ordeal begins. Trees lie everywhere and it's very hard to follow the path. For a section that would take 20 minutes, I used a whole hour. But you can see that quite a few people went ahead of me on this nice path; there are already quite a few detours, which are mostly vertical, and if the trees aren't cleared soon, erosion will start quickly on those routes, causing damage. In the last part, it was visible that some enthusiast tried to saw the trees partially but soon gave up. Above about 800 m you rarely see any fallen tree; higher up the path is untouched.
Up top there were crowds of visitors and I quickly headed down via Primož.

Today again to Velika Planina. Parking in Rakovnikove Ravne, first to Gojska Planina, then to Mala Planina and on to Velika Planina. On the way back via Planina Marjanine Njive. It was a nice morning. Around 11 o'clock there were many visitors.

Livestock is already on pasture on all planinas.

Črnuški dom beckons - new addition - replica of a planina hut and playground for children.

Velika planina is beautiful with its numerous huts.

There is plenty of water everywhere now.

This is already planina Marjanine njive.

The nicest flowers of the tour - obirska sivica.

On Velika Planina it's always nice,
real relaxation for soul and body.

At Marija Snežna in the morning there is still real peace

Little shops everywhere and of course also potice

Later in the valley, some raindrops fell too

Bellflower rings, ding ding, it's over..

Yes, bureaucrats are at the shepherds on Velika Planina again. We were present at the moment when two women in mountaineering gear arrived and regardless that the shepherd was outside, WITHOUT ASKING AND PERMISSION entered the hut. When the shepherd saw that he followed them into the hut where they started inquiring about dairy products. And the litanies began. They identified themselves only outside. They were very arrogant and full of themselves, not a bit down-to-earth. Regardless that the shepherd had very nice cheese which they themselves praised, he had to destroy it (because he didn't send milk and cheese samples for analysis). He could keep three for himself. How did they know those three were good? Now they've tasked the shepherds to keep daily records of how much milk they milk, how much cheese, sour milk they make from it, send for analysis... And that squeezes you somewhere! And all this circus and costs for three months, as long as the shepherds are on the pasture. And finally we wonder how many people got poisoned by cheese or sour milk bought from shepherds. But in schools and kindergartens already! There let them rampage, not with shepherds who still persist in our mountains and earn some euro with dairy sales!

In the morning beautiful was the view of the plateau,
a little later already we saw clouds' grayness,
which flooded all nearby peaks,
but didn't hide from us views on flowers.

By the number of puddles, much rain is evident

This one forgot that frost is coming soon

The larches are already slightly turning color

Little green bear - no such fairy tale yet

Today on fantastic path over kuklarje to konjščica and back over dol. Access descriptions are very good, nicely detailed thing, but still need to search carefully. Crossing is tough, ropes and old cables for morale, in middle less crumbly trail above drop remains for each hiker (somewhere less than foot wide). Higher it's even nastier with very wet descent and right crossing. Otherwise wilderness and beauty hard to find here. When I photographed path from graben on return, my hair stood on end nasmeh

Hardly noticeable path under the rock slab (taken from the ditch)

otiv, your birdie is black redstart-Phoenicurus ochruros-male. Sometimes they even overwinter.

Todi19. 10. 2014 18:56:22

Why not use these nice autumn days for walks in the mountains, today it was beautiful.

Domžalski dom was already fully occupied

Does not work, and probably not anymore, ...shame

Kraljev hrib - over Rigelj - Velika planina - Zeleni Rob - pl.Konjšica - pl.Dol - Dolski graben - Kraljev hrib (conditions 2.11.2014)
In lower part (unmarked paths) still real "disaster" of fallen trees after this year's ice and storm; so start point quite hard to find. But full respect to people who started clearing and all maintaining mountain paths, so middle part and on, path almost normally passable. Upper part, through forest where much leaves on ground, orientation harder, but some new blazes help better orientation and path traceability.
From Zeleni rob over Velika planina, over Konjšica and Dol and Dolski graben to valley, path without features.

start of the path - parking possible at gostišče Kraljev hrib, then along forest road and cart track to the starting trail

real disaster of fallen trees and branches at the start

a bit higher the path is already almost normally passable, ... thanks to all who care for and clean the mountain paths

that thick painted beech at the path junction still stands, ... here we turn left

view of the thick fog in Kamniško Bistrico

intermediate steep grassy section of the path

through the forest in the upper part, ... a lot of foliage hiding the path, but it is traceable also with the help of some cairn

just below the edge of the planina, the only secured spot on the path

Back to the valley ... first across planina Konjšica.

Back to the valley ... across planina Dol.

Kraljev hrib - end (and beginning) of the circular path.

Does anyone know how the path from Kraljev hrib over skorenca-Kacjeka-Gamsovih strez is.
what's this path like, mainly I'm interested if traceable/cairned or too overgrown

thanks

best

I was up there in May on this path, obviously the thing is still the same, given the path is quite interesting and several hikers pass it, wouldn't be bad if some club arranged it, maybe even marked it.

Not so simple to mark new path.

On Sunday we set off via the slopes of Škorenjec - Kačjek to Velika Planina. We struggled through the blowdown for two hours, above 950m a.s.l. we finally breathed easier. After a break at Z. Rob we also went to Konj and back to the valley.
