18.10.2025, Zajavor/After 4 years again on this wonderful mountain surrounded by pure gems, from Kanin range to Montaž Strma peč Muzci ridge Stol Skutnik to Krn and all to Dolomites. From pass on standard marked very nice path to top. As rewarded with exceptional nice weather we decide descent on ridge to low top and back to pass. I just want to say path on ridge offers no aids for easier orientation. Red dots nowhere visible and for someone first time on ridge very dangerous to miss path and already in trouble. After long time there in forest some marks on trees appear but quickly lost too, must be very careful. I want to note that if decide to cross ridge always stay near crest. Above hut, pasture Nizki vrh red dots appear and helpful, from hut marked to pass no problem.

.ok.thanks

RING around Kanin mountain range/14.8.2025/Today's tour is one of the rare ones where the path is more important than the goal. Recently I did ascent from Žaga to High Kanin (5.8.2025); during ascent the idea came to circle the entire Kanin range. At home quickly look at some maps, sum up time, check forecast and decide 14.8.2025. Start in Gozdec not far from B station (1074m), first on path to High Kanin and soon unmarked path to VBS. Under ruin 1530m, wait for sunrise and continue descent to Pl. Baban (1401m). From here few hundred meters marked to Pl. Ognjenik then again unmarked mulattiera past Pl. Globoka to Skutnik/Monte Guarda (1721m). From summit continue on path 731 to Bivak Franco Costantini (1712m) below Velika Baba/Baba Grande, follows long descent to saddle Berdo di Sopra (1258m). At saddle turn right to path 642 to Casera Canin/Pl. Kanin (1444m). Here at alpine pasture after 7h walking meet mountain guards who explain that path to Casera Grubia is abandoned and closed due to landslide, to my question how much for detour to other side they say 1h to Coritisa and 3h to Pl. Grubia. I said I'll rather try to get to other side despite landslide because too much for detour and continue hike. Turned out well but not recommend to anyone, so in 1h 10' I was on other side (1280m) on marked path to Bivak Marussich. From here everything easier ascent on path 634 to bivak Elio Marussich (2041m). From bivak fairy marked path 632 to hut Rifugio Gilberti (1850m). At hut refill well and take some reserve for drink, continue on path 636 to Prevala (2067m), from Prevala for dessert only most beautiful Krnica valley to Pl. Krnica (1252m) and to dusty car at junction paths to Kopa and Pl. Krnica (1074m). At end shake own hand look at watch finished tour 38km/2687m elevation/12h44'12", with all stops, one of many ideas successfully completed. Really today's path is much more important than goal.

Daaaam, thanks.. Garmin fenix 5X can lie too, cuz the path from Žaga is such that you're constantly gnawing your knees, I'd rather say 120 average

Miri, liquid supplies 2.75l, replenished above Prevala from snowfields, and below Pl. krnica from hidden spring, so it worked out

5.8.2025/Longtime wish, much thinking, planning and postponing finally the day D. From Žaga to High Kanin and bag most summits. By all means avoid path past pastures (because it drags a lot) so choose opposite unmarked side toward Boka waterfall and then to Pl. Baban. From Pl. Baban happily avoid grassy snake valley toward Velika baba and head right into forest on abandoned mulatiera. Most of the path on unmarked but well traceable trails. Then between Veliki and Mali BS walk on grassy very pleasant terrain, soon step on marked path with very faint marks for Kanin. With some breaks on summit in good 5h 45'. Descent long traverse first to Prestreljeniško okno then via ferrata to Sedlo then Prevala and valley past Pl. krnica into woods where they come towards me, so at end of path boiling with satisfaction. Tour to lick fingers and bite nails.

Pleasant Saturday morning, not going to Lopa, going to Prestreljenik. Today for the weekend so very little noise, almost no hikers, very nice, through Krnica to Prevala and a bit on our own to the top.

Lopa from Možnica! Sounds crazy, but no. This is not a feat it's a desire that simmered in me for a decade, the day comes when you say to yourself, hey old man what are you waiting for? Time flies, now or never.. True the experience on this hike is crazy. At 7am he drops me off at the starting point for Jerebica and it began. First along the marked for Jerebica then along the path that is no path, now it appears and suddenly disappears, you climb and descend but you look and don't know. All cliffs, jumps, boulders gravel, steep grass, gullies you don't know which to choose, canyons torrents, but all that is the charm and pleasure of this ascent. It added up to more than 25km and almost 2000m elevation met only three people and that says it all about this pathless tour. Rebirth you experience if and when you reach the saddle over Brežič. Follows carefree wandering along the Italian marked path to Sella Robon. I continue towards Prevala but I wouldn't be me if I didn't get tired of markings. At the first stop and snack I turn up under Hudi and ugly peak and push through pathless world full of karst holes, scarps, bridges, cliffs, practically the path runs among thousand caves. Descend to Prevala and via Krnica and Kanin mulattiera to Bovec.

31.10.2024/My quiet wish fulfilled. Wanted ascent Rombon untouched path, vertical direct valley to Rombon no marked paths. Today beautiful day realized ascent border line WWI Italians Austro-Hungarians,,Crazy/Invaluable/Unforgettable. Descent used some hard shortcuts too.

After many years, I'm setting off again to the exceptional majestic mountain that demands caution, strength, and respect in every respect. For a change, I'm going for the first time via path 650 to Corsi hut, because I'd like to avoid the concreted road to Viška planina. Unfortunately, the hut is still closed.

Lopa/ this beautiful neglected independent single beauty, whoever knows her knows what I mean. Today out of curiosity I start from Nevje, and it completely thrilled me. Soon after the path to Prevala branches, at the first cairn on the left I leave the marked path and go my own way. Soon I notice some cairns and realize they serve the cavers under Lopa. A bit higher I see Czech cavers' camp and 100 meters higher also Laški cavers' camp. I get back on the little path leading to Lopa a few meters before the entry to the difficult part of the path to the summit. At the top only I and a couple of flies that eagerly fight over my sweat, when it dries I remain alone in idyllic almost unreal silence and beauty for a whole hour and a half. I descend also by my logical judgment near kuclja punta medon/prevalski kuntar I leave the path to Prevala and via scree reach the marked path to Nevje.

6.7.2024/Krnčica today did not offer views,,for that we enjoyed the beautiful botanical garden.

When you get up there once, all will be clear. I enjoy such spots,, it's unmarked, a bit remote, and offers huge pleasures.
