Parkeljc, on Jerm'n via ferrata you can skip pegs and climb only on friction and get grade mostly D/E and E on one section in second wall even reaches (E/F approx...5-6m)

How does this compare to Gonzarjeva peč?

Comparison with Gonžarjeva peč? I'd say it's quite similarly difficult... Today on Jerm'n. Today was, how to put it, a "Bojan Ambrožič day". First by bike to Vršič, then via ferrata Jerm'n, and at the end also Hvadnik. Jerm'n really tired me out...

Today I also planned Jerm'n, Hvadnik and Grančišče, but given the forecast and wet rock in (probably) both Martuljek via ferratas, I decided for just two harder ones. And they were quite enough.
First Jerm'n. Actually you can get f...ed up pretty quickly even before entering the vertical, if the ground is wet and when you start, it can get complicated. In this case hands are practically useless. The continuation is then somewhat easier. There's a lot of water and humidity accordingly. The descent path is then a real rodeo and you really have to watch out not to take a "shortcut".
After descent I unclip the SVK, change shoes and after 15 min drive I'm already at the parking lot in front of the mountaineering museum in Mojstrana. Surprisingly no one on the via ferrata. Nice. At least nothing will fall down.
And indeed not. I haven't cooled down from Jerm'n yet, already hurrying towards Aljažev stolpič at Grančišče. Didn't meet a living soul.

Jurc89... Gonžarjeva is more demanding than via ferrata Jerm'n... You can climb Jerm'n even if the wall is damp because there are substantially too many brackets in it...

I agree with Primož, if anyone knows, he does  I was on Gonžarca quite a while ago and don't remember well... Anyway, the first time is always the hardest, next time it's easier... The difficulty level in mountains is also measured by the visitation level or loneliness level... If you're alone there in the rock, it's always mentally harder than if you have company. Gonžarca is often lonely, Cjajnik say full of climbers. That's why Jalovec is always a hard ascent, Triglav is a piece of cake...

That feeling of safety when there are more people there is deceptive, especially in winter. The objective danger usually increases then too.

Regarding water seeping between bolts and rock, the same applies to via ferrata Hvadnik, which is nearby and in a very humid environment. Individual bolts carrying the cable are also slowly loosening there. Careful!

@Hribolaznik: interesting, that I was completely alone on Cjajnik (on an otherwise sunny and clear day without forecasted thunderstorms). Priceless, right! True, I started from in front of Koča na Košuti only in the afternoon around one-two-three.
Only on the ridge did I meet two Austrians who, with dusk approaching, didn't know where or how. I didn't ask, but later I was very curious how they got up there anyway!  I just know not via Cjajnik.

One of the nicer via ferratas here, shame it's so short. Suitable for warmer days, because it goes through a canyon where it's nicely cool. For all planning the ascent, some interesting info in the link below :-)

I park next to the museum in Mojstrana, equip myself and head towards Grančišče. In a sharp bend a local firmly addresses me saying, don't I see that the via ferrata is closed. I look around and indeed, on the pole with the direction sign for the via ferrata, there was a notice stuck that I hadn't noticed, probably saying the via ferrata is closed for cleaning (as the local energetically informed me). I politely thank him for the verbal notice, turn around and return to the car. I had no choice but to drive to the nearest next via ferrata in Martuljek. Some hope to go to Hvadnik evaporated as soon as I turned from the main road towards Srednji vrh, as both parking lots were completely full; so Hvadnik is out. I drive on, find parking and, still equipped with the previous gear, head into the damp slope and soon into the vertical.
Until now it hasn't happened to me that there was a crowd in the via ferrata. The via ferrata is somewhat more demanding and not for everyone. Most visit the neighboring Hvadnik, which is a bit easier and "fresher" than Jerm'n.

I have a question about the via ferrata. How suitable is the via ferrata for children? Here I mean only regarding the child's height because of some moves in the via ferrata that are harder if you're smaller.

I'm 152 cm and I barely stretched to the cable somewhere.

This today already went over the line. A little group of ferrata climbers (only girls) gathers under the guide's leadership and literally occupies the ferrata for a few hours. Already at the start the guide roped the "easy bit". In some unequipped wall, a climber would climb the whole route without even the ferrata protection on top. And doesn't even have the culture (the guide) to let others pass at a suitable safe spot. I bypassed the entry vertical and thus avoided nearly two-hour ascent on Jerm'n. Don't know why guides drag incompetents into such a ferrata, the starting part already looked like a rescue.

Best to contact the guide and talk it all over with him: Silvo Babič, Alpsko društvo Stratus. Good thing you didn't go to Hanzova later, that would have done you in when you spotted those chicks again

Everyone was a beginner once and beginners need protection "from above" when necessary. After you saw the conditions and figured it would take long, you should've turned around and gone elsewhere. On secured sections of mountain paths, even less on ferratas, no overtaking.
