Who cares why someone hikes in the mountains? Let each have their own motive for walking... Motive almost must be there, right? Safety in this endeavor is another thing... Lp!

You get stamp at the hut. And good jota with it if you really want. Well, Skalar's hut, logical.

I hope that someday a similar cross stands on the summit again as before... well, and stamp... Lp!

After long postponing and numerous reschedulings we finally experienced a wonderful family weekend on Kanin. Yesterday with the "eggs" to D station, then slowly towards High Kanin. We were grateful for the wind, so we didn't feel the heat. After a long rest and sightseeing, on the return we turned towards Dom Petra Skalarja, where we overnighted. Before bed we did a little "exercise" on nearby Konjc, where we admired the views in the glow of the setting sun. Today early morning we admired the magnificent dawn and sunrise, then after breakfast headed towards Prestreljenik. We were at the top just in time for perfect views, midday fog started rising and accompanied us about half the descent via Prevala and on through the wonderful and very solitary Krnica valley to B station...
About Dom Petra Skalarja a lot of praise has already been written on these pages. Let me join: in this hut you get much more than what's on the price list: besides excellent food also friendliness, homeliness, hospitality, path info… in short Jolanda and Milivoj are caretakers who work "with soul" and you'll surely feel more than great in this hut and their company, so I can only warmly recommend a visit…

We two with our grandson also experienced nice moments in the hut. And also a glory.

It was nice, my colleague and I also slept from Saturday to Sunday in the mentioned hut and were one of the few that the caretaker took to Konjc!
With such a caretaker you quickly forget that you have to go outside to the wc, maybe in the middle of the night!

The seven-year-old called the ascent "easy", same for the ten-year-old girl.
Such statements can only be written by a shorty.

@Ognjicena, I also basically think that the ascent (especially descent) to High Kanin shouldn't be underestimated (or misleading someone planning to climb it), the first couple of height meters you have to convince yourself somewhat on the rocks (a cable would be welcome but there isn't), so it's not exactly a "highway" up there.
But if someone wants to make Česnas, Kozjeks, Humars out of their kids (and is already working on it), that's another story and they aren't average climbers like most of us up here.

Even gypsy children stole the railway tracks because they didn't know how heavy they were.

I already checked the profile at the first post of the fire-emoji and if I see pics of the ascent to Jalovec, Vrbanove Špice,... then I know what time it is.
Anyway, they marked my beloved Ankogel as 'salon'!

primoza:
The difficulty of a mountain path is completely independent of the path's duration.

Certainly such or other ratings can be quite misleading. High Kanin doesn't have that rating for nothing and it wasn't given by some child. Someone will read this, think it's child's play and slip down at the first rocks. Describe it sensibly if you have anything to write, it's about the general safety of mountain visitors.

It's true as Igor pointed out about confusing and different ratings of path difficulties and comparisons between them.
I think that those used to secured difficult paths never ask about difficulty themselves, because they are prepared and properly equipped, know the path at least descriptively and have some experience on such paths.
But not every secured path is the same, but offers varied terrain of different difficulties, unsecured exposed sections, so also surprises and dependence on one's own knowledge of safe climbing.
For the inexperienced, due to the description of someone who, at their climbing level and mastery of mountain conditions, presents the path to another in their light, which can be difficult and unmanageable for them and therefore less safe.
Path difficulties are also nicely described in guidebooks and precisely given-warned and subtly assessed for the entire structure and levels of mountaineers, hikers.

The problem is that people don't read a guidebook before heading out on a tour. The other problem is that when rating from memory, despite the swallowed fear on a path, they like to show it was child's play for them... so... I read Hribi.net, Gore in ljudje... and written guidebooks... then plan the tour... and the opinion of children of enthusiastic parents doesn't interest me at all... but I'm glad they go to the mountains and parents raise them in that spirit..

Occasionally we meet parents from all over - even many foreigners, who lead their offspring on demanding paths in the style of pets. What can we do, this is just another modern phenomenon, where we wonder how much children really want such things themselves, or if they would rather play at home with a ball on the playground.. But let's not be rude, malicious etc., and let the increasingly present differences live..
When we hear comments from these little ones, we certainly realize that these children probably wouldn't go up there on their own, or something bad would surely happen to them otherwise.. Then it would turn out that such a thing is actually more than too demanding for them. Let's also remember that in our childhood we all did many, many daring mischiefs accompanied by parents... and we weren't scared at all.
Difficulty ratings should at least for now remain as officially given by experts (my humble opinion).
