Hello.
Is the shelter open this weekend?
Can a bed be reserved when it's open or first come first served?
Tried asking by email but no reply.
Thanks

The male part of the family gave up valley comfort - Nute**i and WIFI and headed to the hills nasmeh It was on Tuesday. Left the car at Vršič, then up-down-up-down to the Shelter. Back directly to the valley past Flori(ja) to the main road, then by bus back. We chose a very good day with high cloud cover so it wasn't too hot.

On Thursday, 24.6.2021 after 30 years again from Vršič to shelter below Špičkom. No crowd at Vršič. The guy collecting parking fee finds you quickly. Didn't meet anyone on the whole path. More fallen trees on the path, so we did some gymnastics. Views initially clear, then it clouded over. The path is walked much faster than written on the sign at Vršič. In the last hour of walking crossed several non-problematic snowfields. Just below the shelter it's still all white. Due to melting snow and sinking we rather turned towards the big boulders "eye level" with the shelter and admired. I think we surprised a larger marmot, which with a loud whistle warned that we are coming. Solitary places, with plenty of wonderful views and peace. Otherwise very hot. nasmeh

07.11. 2022. This year somehow the trip didn't come up in the summer months. I decided to go from Zapodno past Špička and then further towards Jalovec. Although it seemed to me that due to newly fallen snow I wouldn't reach the summit. I used winter gear around 2300 m where the snow starts. In shady spots it was frozen. Since the day was warm the snow was melting. In the morning in Zapodno only two degrees. Continued to height 2440m. Then when you're there you see the real conditions. I turned back. Someone in front of me also turned exactly there because further it was demanding. Snow didn't hold much despite using winter gear. Descent to the valley really pleasant when leaves rustle under feet. Day cloudless and with little wind.
I went on the right side from the sign onwards below Mali kot. Markings very poorly visible.1
past the hunting hut. Higher up, the path from Vršič joins.2
Larches have lost their color.3
A day without clouds.4
Špička is visible.5
and Škrbina za Gradom. Familiar.6
Here everything is snow-free.7
Očak is snow-covered.8
But the day is really nice.9
In the depressions.10
The higher I go, the more snow there is.11
I use winter gear.12
Snow-dusted peaks.13
Far visibility.14
To the other side.15
Still, I expected less snow.16
I only met two hikers.17
One said that he is going to this peak.18
perhaps it is Goličica19
View to the other side.20
This is how it looks under the summit side.21
otherwise always visible.22
We counted the traffic. There weren't many of us.23
I know the path well.24
the hardest part is behind me.25
right Srebrnjak. In the middle Trentski Pelc. Left probably Plešivec.26
to the shelter.27
and Pelc nad Klonicami.28
Prisank.29

Beautiful tour even without summit. True that some parts of the path or key junctions are unmarked, which can get many into trouble. Just like on Sunday we descended from Šmihelovec and Zagorelec along the hunting trail to planina Zapotok. With great difficulties we caught the right track in the last minutes of the day.

I didn't even worry about the summit. You go and then see how and what. To Zagorelec and Šmihelovec not marked. But the little path to Zagorelec is nicely visible. Days are short now and you have to take that into account. I haven't gone that path from the sign for planina Zapotok yet. But I've seen the junction several times when descending there. So I don't know the condition of the path. Maybe sometime I'll go there too.nasmeh
Branch-off somewhere in the forest when going from Zapodna.1
Another signpost, but I don't know if the walking times are exactly right.2

Sometimes it happens that you go on the path, even if it seems to you that it's not the most suitable day. But, if it's the plan, it's the plan nasmeh
The worst was that the shelter was still closed. I counted on a beer up there so I could walk further, so then it only remained at the shelter. But it's so beautiful there that it won't be too much to go on the path once morenasmeh.

Well, I also tried public transport over Vršič, so I started at 8.10 from there. Only what, when you descend for a long time, when ascending it's already quite hot at that time. On the ascent I met only one hiker, otherwise despite the heat I admired views on all sides, the ones that caught my eye the most were V.Skutnik and V.Pelc, which seemed like twins to me, and the peak Nad steno was also interesting although it's not on all maps. The rocky world under Špiček also catches the eye, and larches there too.

I returned towards Trenta or Koča pri Izviru Soče, then at the road there again on the bus. The ride passed like a blink, especially if a chatty driver drives. In the morning a Filipino was behind the wheel who didn't understand Slovenian at all, English even worse. Well he drove well though. The problem maybe only because individual stops are not exactly determined.

You did it well. Congratulations. Well I haven't gone from Vršič yet. Always from Zapodn. nasmeh The most beautiful for me was when I went in the afternoon to Špička to sleep over. Then the whole way from Zapodn you could hear the roaring of deer. It seemed to me as if I had a bear behind me the whole way. I was quickly at Špiček. The girls didn't have electricity in the hut. We sat outside by the glow of candles and starry sky. Unforgettable.

Are the famous rocks with nice advice signed by Strela no longer there or is it not among the photos?

The rock is still there, the signs are also still there. They have just faded a little.

Darinka, I also had a bear in mind for a moment, so I whistled a little that song about the young shepherd from Štirih kovačev, which I've been listening to the most latelynasmeh.
yes, babim skala is surely still there, but I didn't notice it. However, all inscriptions are generally quite faded (also the turnoff for Jalovec).

They got it, Agency Oskar should take over for a few years, currently arranging the possibility of reservations via the web. Most likely via the Booking app. In PD Jesenice you can get the contact of the current manager. Lp
