Today did a 28km long section from koča na Pesku to Slovenj Gradec. From Pesek via Mašinžaga warm-up to Lovrenška Lakes. Two-day rain was felt, plenty of water on and beside the trail. Had to cross small torrents and streams, but no issues. Could do it in sneakers too. No snow anywhere except a 3x2m snow patch handy for cleaning shoes
. To Ribniška koča no issues except wet ground. From Ribniška koča to Velika and Mala Kopa less forest, wind hindered walking. Over both Kopas to Partizanski dom then to koča pod Kremžarjevim vrhom. Trail here more overgrown than before, more undulating, steep down steep up...some flat. From koča pod Kremžarjevim vrhom to Slovenj Gradec another ca 700m descent that drags at end. Anyway, great conditions except wind, markings very visible everywhere, most junctions have signs/markings...Only bit where markings vanish briefly is from Partizanski dom to Kremžarjev vrh. No problem. Nature 10/10, people great, huts super (except closed Grmovškov dom), but one thing bothered me: from Kope ski area to Kremžarjev vrh tons of motocrossers audible from afar. Won't debate if ok or not, excessive engine buzz bothered me. Plowing hiking trails with cross bikes not appropriate.
Re stamp at Grmovškov dom, get it at the pub next door. Don't know when open. Today around 11am it was. Day gorgeous, wind cooled air, Pohorje beautiful as always. Will return
