That's why more and more Slovenes are heading to the neighboring Italian and Austrian hills... where they are often less greedy than at home. And it's not just Bohinj that's the problem... parking fees already in every other Gorenjska village, night parking in Lj...
Good thing we live in one of the most sparsely populated countries in the EU... imagine what parking fees would be like here if we were a more densely populated country...

And precisely because you use it so much, it's fitting that you support it.

Perfectly understandable. The website brings costs, work... let it also be profitable given all the work behind it. It's been almost 20 years the most useful Slovenian website about mountains. In Slovenia almost everyone who goes hiking knows it. It has provided many people with all important info for numerous hikes.
We pay for mountaineering magazines and books where only a few hikes are mentioned... here we have thousands of hikes at a click with all data, descriptions, photos... I gladly tolerate these few ads given all the info this site provides me.

Congratulations! It's unbelievable how the years pass... member since 2007...

Interesting, mountains are already artificial architecture.
Cinque torri are probably Five towers or even barrels...

One is to adapt or Slovenize, another is to create monstrosities. It would make sense "Three Peaks" or something similar.
California-Kalifornija makes sense because of pronunciation. By this logic Tre Cime would be Tri Čime in Slovenian.
Where is the logic in changing the Italian word "cime", which literally means peak, spire... into "cine", which means nothing in Slovenian or Italian.
Like naming California Kaliformija because someone can't distinguish m from n?

Degradation of the Slovenian language... I believe soon in orthography (if not already) the word delitacija instead of dilatacija. When we don't understand foreign words, nor hear them well... we write them ignorantly our way.

What horrible concoction is "tri cine"?
They are TRE CIME. Literally three peaks. In German Drei Zinnen, in Ladin Tré Zìmes.
Like renaming Triglav to Troklav for us...

It was nice to read this experience. Yes, definitely for a more "deep" experience of Pohorje, three days are more suitable than two. I crossed Pohorje a good month ago. First day from Maribor to Pesek, second day from Pesek to Slovenj Gradec. The path is more or less well marked, but still it was a bit unclear for me here and there too. I had the booklet of the Slovenian mountain path (last edition 2018) with me and here and there there was some discrepancy. An example was in the area of Klopni vrh. In the book it says that you simply climb to Klopni vrh and don't go past the hut at all. But I followed markings "1" and came directly to the hut. There I could treat myself to a cold drink and the friendly hostess/owner explained everything to me where to go. By the way, along the path there were quite a few signs saying direction to Koča na Klopnem vrhu next to the note "closed". From the hut I then returned good 5 minutes back and caught the path to Klopni vrh. When I descended from Klopni vrh to the road in the other direction (wasn't sure it's the same road as before), there was a sign "Pesek" pointing right, at the same time left down the road marking with label "1". I checked in the booklet and there it says after Klopni vrh turn right onto the road. Only when at home I looked at the GPS track on the map and read an older guide did it become clear to me where the confusion comes from. Sometimes SSP led to the hut, not to the peak. Now the reverse. Markings are obviously new and old, hence the confusion.
Maybe some additional marking would come in handy between Grmovškov dom and Koča na Kremžarjevem vrhu.
As for times, as bbugari1 already wrote, sometimes even the signs themselves don't match best. I walked faster anyway and shortened most times. But there was also some time realistic for faster walking (e.g. 2 hours from Klopni vrh to Pesek). Also the section past Šumik as I remember wasn't too generous with time on signs.
And along the path I came across closed Ribniška Koča (in the outer box only two more pictorial stamps, no oval for transversal).
Otherwise really a path worth visiting!

30.01 From hut at Savica to hut at Triglav Lakes via Komarča. Path via Komarča snow-free to top. From Black Lake on, conditions for winter gear.
Someone before me walked same path to Triglav Lakes Hut. From there trodden to Prehodavci or Komna. Weather perfect
