This circular trail has long attracted me. We parked at the turn-off for Devil's Ravine, where they were just clearing the aftermath of the last snowfall. There's also plenty of fallen trees along the path through the ravine, but they don't cause major issues; there's quite a bit of water. We continued towards Srebotnik. Here the snow started along with the winter idyll. On the descent, the steel cables were very handy due to soggy snow. We admired the autumn-winter idyll also while heading to Thick Peak. Descent to Celjska Hut via snowy meadow was pure enjoyment. But I couldn't say that about the muddy path to Grmada; you had to watch out not to land on your nose. Then a drink and "štrudl" at Pečoniška Hut, then through Dry Stream back to the start. We met quite a few hikers, weather so-so... I recommend it, we really enjoyed it!

Yesterday with a slightly larger group in a van to the Jezerca parking lot. The path can be continued by car to Dom na Gospincu, with a toll of 5 euros, which you throw into the box at the ramp. We went across the pastures on the marked path to the transmitter on Krvavec. Continued towards the accumulation lake on Zvoh, across Škrbina towards Vrh Korena. The path is well marked, and the views of the KSA peaks were wonderful, while the valley was bathed in fog. Unfortunately, this fog caught up with us between Kalški greben and Kalška gora. Part of the group decided on a quick descent towards Cojzova koča, the other part climbed to Kalška gora, then to Cojzova koča where we refreshed ourselves. The road between the lower part of the cargo cableway and Kamniška Bistrica is nicely arranged (last year, when it was still allowed to drive on it, it was in very poor condition).

Road from Solčava direction is normally passable.
Trail also without issues.

On the whole Logarska-Brana path you do not step on snow even once.
Cheers

In Turski gully today steps were made, if they are not covered by tomorrow like yesterday's
Snow soft and sinking through. On Turska gora no views.
Hut at Okrešelj open, path partly icy slide - recommend small crampons.
Best regards and safe steps

Zoran you have Zs

The nasty snowfield on Tominškova is no more.

Yesterday walked same path as MANGRT. Thanks for ,,right" under entrance to Triglavska škrbina.
Descended via Tominškova, which has one annoying snow patch - where we used winter gear. Observed two Frenchmen with kid, who since no ice axes used iron bars left there - ,,cable" if I can call it that is better for psyche

Yesterday on the traceable - once-marked path over Grlo - wet and steep path. Towards Škarje, bigger snowfield, no problem. Descent on the marked path under Ojstrica - cross a couple of snowfields - top of Ojstrica is completely bare. Summit all mine - watched helicopter flyover over Korošica, later it dropped a couple of people at the hut fire site.
Descent on Kopinškova - crossing softened snowfield below the summit, which gets the blood pumping a bit used full winter gear. Later cross a couple more snowfields, which pose no major problems.
Strudel and beer at Klemenča jama hits the spot as always

On Saturday we walked this path. Path through Repov kot no problems - snowfield below the jump to Srebrno sedlo.
To Planjava one more snowfield, which can be bypassed.
Descent towards Kamniško sedlo - crossing several snowfields - we used full winter gear - rotten snow.
Descent on marked path to Jermanca.
Road is in pretty good condition - apparently repaired a bit after May 1st. Nice to have a higher car.
Regards

Through Kačji graben

Yesterday over Tirske Cliffs to check on blooming auricles. On foot from Rečica ob Savinji direction, timber removal on Ston still ongoing, but the path itself mostly cleared of fallen trees.
Later here and there a bit scrambling over fallen ones.
Gully dry, full of leaves and scree that rolls down quickly despite care, careful...
Whole Tirske Cliffs clad in yellow - auricle in full bloom . Wind carrying spruce pollen, all allergens
Last pastures blooming, snowflakes, crocuses, even some snow patches remain. On the Three Plots views for the soul.
Descended via hunter's path from Medvednjak, or rather some gully, path completely impassable and untraceable due to fallen spruces. Glad I was on foot, motorbike would only be in the way for loggers hauling timber.
Recommend start under Bela peč.
Best regards, Tonika

8.4.2017 nice Saturday morning inviting to nature. Curiosity lures me to Tirske cliffs and they didn't disappoint. Path dry, everything blooming - white crocus and yellow primrose. Quick hop to Tre Plot and descent via hunter's path over Travnatnca to valley. Met no one except chamois. Recommend.
Best Tonika

Yesterday walked the same route as Metod and met at Stenar summit. But since we climbed Križ too, during descent over Sovatno it broke through properly for us. Gorgeous day!

Congratulations Dejan- you're really strong Many more such feats! Good luck

Yesterday Vranček - Hajnževo sedlo - via secured path to Veliki vrh and descent back to saddle - continuation to Košutica. The path is dry, crosses a small snow patch that causes no problems. But it was muddy and wet and caution is needed on descent.

Yesterday early start at Vranček - Planina Korošica - Hajnževo sedlo Košutica via eastern - hunting path. Path bp. Met only some chamois. Descent from Grunt pastures towards Ljubelj hut was quite muddy and wet, a bit acrobatic . Protections above the drop are new, as are all cables - excellently taken care of safety at the most dangerous spots.
