If you like hiking in the hills and high mountains, and at the same time would like to do something good for the maintenance of mountain paths, but don't know who to contact? In our club we will be very happy for anyone who doesn't mind sacrificing a weekend or two a year to help maintain paths in the mountains above Logarska dolina. If you are interested in markacist work, you can contact me at tomo_kugy@yahoo.com or 041 425 699.

Hello.
Our largest insurance company will again sponsor the renovation of one trail this year. Vote here.
As a path marker from PD Celje-Matica, I kindly ask you to vote for the trail Logarska dolina-Okrešelj-Kamniško sedlo, of course you can vote for any of the other proposals.
The trail from Logarska dolina to Okrešelj is extremely popular and crowded. Besides "real hikers" there are also lots of tourists who opt for the ascent to Okrešelj when visiting Logarska dolina, so it's essential the trail is safe for all visitors, including those less skilled in high mountain terrain. Last year two rockfalls badly damaged the trail, part of the trail past the Savinja spring was even washed away. Path markers with help from volunteers of other PDs and mountain rescuers ensured trail passability, but long-term renovation needs a comprehensive rehabilitation approach, where the PZS technical team will play a major role.
Thanks for your vote and safe steps everyone.

It's always fascinating to me how we search for information until we get one that suits us. The most banal example is the weather forecast, where we browse various portals until we find one that offers an acceptable forecast for a certain day, regardless of the fact that 8 other portals gave a forecast that doesn't suit us.
For about a month the media has been reporting that this year parking at the top won't be possible because they will arrange the parking lot and the barriers will be raised. Maybe they finish earlier so parking is possible by end of season, but that's not planned.
You can leave the car at Erjavčeva hut for 1 euro per hour or 10 euros per day.
Or go from Kr. Gore or Bovec with the free bus already at 4.30 when the first one leaves.
Or act like a Frenchman and leave the car by the road, ignoring all warnings and traffic signs.
Sorry for the slightly sarcastic reply, but there really is a lot of information, also on this portal, you just have to find it.
Safe steps.

Hello.
What are the current conditions?
Thanks.

But the only parking lot that at least somewhat brings you closer to the starting point, at Erjavčeva hut, has been paid for several years now, so only the lower-lying parking lots will be free. However, a free bus is already in operation, which runs between Kr. Gora and Bovec and back, for now on Saturdays-Sundays-holidays, from the end of June to the end of August every day from 4:30 onwards.

Thanks to both, but I would need more accurate information, because we path markers intend to renew the markings on Saturday and trim the flora a bit, so that we won't be surprised if it's not passable.

Hello.
Can someone tell me what the conditions are like from Klemenča jama to Ojstrica, both via Kopinškova and over Škarje?
Thank you.

Park in Mojstrana (P&R 10 €) and go with free bus (first runs at 4.00, then every hour +-10 min to 19.00).

The old hut burned down a couple of years ago. The new one is not built yet, but a temporary wooden hut was built, where you can get a drink and something to eat. You cannot spend the night, because no sleeping facilities are available. The hut is open, but in case of poor weather conditions, it stays closed.

The path with the bypass was newly marked in September 2024, and it was partially restored again in late April 2025. You can still get to the Savinja River source (30 m from the marked path), but then you have to return to the marked path. I wish you a safe hike.

Not quite sure about that trough, but they'll let you fill a bottle at one of the settlements where they also have food and drink. I assume you'll come from Planina pri Jezeru direction, where you can fill a whole canister if you want, so I don't see urgent need to refill at Dedno polje, as at Seven Lakes you'll get unlimited water again.

The path to Okrešelj is open, only before the source of the Savinja a temporary detour (bypass) to the right into the forest above the source and around it has been made. About 10 m of path before the Savinja source was washed away. Further towards Okrešelj the path is BP. Towards the K. saddle however the newly formed gully a couple of minutes above Okrešelj is problematic. The markers of PD Celje Matica will try to ensure the passability of the path in the shortest possible time.

In October and November you won't save anyone's season, as all huts (except rare exceptions like Komna) in high mountains close by the end of September. But they could easily stay open at least in October, maybe November. There would be fewer visits than in summer but more pleasant for visitors.

Bills need to be paid, no other way. The portal could be paid, then there'd be no ads.

@panoramik
Now you wrote as if Savinja floods there every three days.

@Kafetarca
There is a large arranged free parking lot here.
This is actually the starting point for Grmada and Celje Hut. For CPP, as described above, you start along Savinja back towards Celje and then as described.

promet.si says the roads to both Kot and Krma are closed. But the actual situation is probably better known by a local.
