Vrtaško Sleme

Print
velkavrh18. 12. 2015 18:39:14
Today I finally conquered Sleme. No snow to Vrtaška planina. Shortly after the shepherd's hut the sign directs left to Sleme. Last year I didn't see this sign. After about twenty minutes of walking we reach the path junction—right path leads to Vrtaški vrh, left to Sleme. We turned wrong here and got to Vrtaški vrh. From the top we turned wrong again to Sleme. From the top there is really a path to Sleme but overgrown and hard to push through the scrub. My predecessor here warned about this misleading path. From the top go left a bit lower. Path takes us to the pasture. After pasture snow starts. Up somehow ok, for back recommend small crampons. From pasture can't miss. Nice day—wonderful views. Sleme more solitary.

Nothing to add to the above report from yesterday. The stop at Vrtaški vrh was exciting. A mighty specimen of a nearly extinct species elegantly glided from Jerebikovec and went off behind Kukova špica.

Of winter gear I needed only tea, though colder refreshing water would be nice on top. On top real summer weather, no wind.

.... Vrtaška planina... In the last third of the path snow patches start. Towards the planina there is still lots, snow is southern and sinking. Further to Vrt. vrh there are snowshoe tracks. Real pleasure is this planina, although the steepness is quite tough.nasmeh

Today first to Vrtaški vrh then to Vrtaško Sleme. To Vrtaška planina path practically dry. But on way back it was practically dry. Snow on top ca. 25 cm. Path not trodden, we trod it. Fog on top, otherwise still plenty of sun. On way back snow melting fast. Larches up already nice orange but quite snow-covered.

Today on Sleme not so changeable weather as Rozka had on Saturday. Completely autumn with blue sky and some haze and fog in lower layers. Winter reminder only little frozen snow under summit and shady sides of surrounding peaks.

Yesterday 16.3.2017 to check how far snow still there and holds. From Mojstrana over Vrtaška planina to where trodden, further always deeper steps. Snow starts at cableway (some ice on last switchbacks). Given temperatures and sunny exposure even 5:00 start too late. At 8:30 above Farjevi to knees, under Njivce barely held on surface. In scrub occasionally but rarely to butt, to ridge again to ankles without extra gear. All deepens on return a bit after 10:00 (ankle=knees...). Under Njivce meet hiker from Peričnik. With snowshoes check PP. According to story snow there too from woods to Vrtaška. Easier to extract from their tracks when you had somewhere to lean thumbs.

Today on Vrta Ridge from Mojstrana via Vrtaška planina and Njivice. Conditions almost summer-like, views wonderful. Compacted snow cover starts at the end of Njivice. Today the snow was soft, but it didn't sink much. Didn't need winter gear, but gaiters are necessary because the snow sinks to the knees in places.

Today there were a bit more of us, plan Kukova špica start from Čarlovc avalanche, but unfortunately no turnoff for it found. Well, after a good two hours we were almost at the Ridge and then continued to Votlo Sleme. Still the tour was nice for all of us and as I see we're not the only ones walking this path.

Right after the PP from Njivice turns into the slope above Vrata, there is the logbook in PP style. That means only those who know exactly where it is will find it. The first clearer turn-off descends towards Peričnik. When the trail crosses the first larger scree, there is a very indistinct turn-off that goes directly into Tilešov rovt. The third is the turn-off for Poldov rovt. After Poldov rovt, the PP descends to the bed of Rdeči potok, crosses it, and descends to the road at Turkov rovt. If you don't know the trail well, you easily stray. But it's one of the nicest hunters' paths in my opinion. Especially the passage under Tičarica is phenomenal. Maybe useful to someone: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.3772215511397.163566.1457064221&type=1&l=533a61e135

Yesterday, 5.12., for St. Nicholas mežikanje Walked to the planina past occasional avalanche areas from steep grass (rocks already bare). Further through deep knee-deep powder that towards the summit gets a crust (which doesn't hold yet). Yay nasmeh

Vrtaška planina currently not reachable. Just before scenic bend, big avalanche. Expected something like that, no tracks. But nice at Grančišče. Views great and descent to valley on north side. Trail not most pleasant in snow, sometimes right at edge of cliffs, so caution.nasmeh

To Vrtaška planina without issues, path dry. Snow starts soon above planina and on Njivice we measure it already in meters. In the morning it sank just enough that crampons were not needed.
