Tojzlov Peak, everything winter can offer you... 13.2.

In the morning, snowfall woke me up again... I couldn't help it... off to the snow... to Tojzlov Peak on Kozjak... so my gar and I drove to Bresternica and further "slid" to Šoberhof... further it was a pure snow fairy tale... more and more snow... the last part was virgin again... up there about 40 cm of new snow... a real fairy tale... the hut closed of course and I was thirsty again... no big deal... I quickly headed back... and experienced a real snow blizzard with wind... also one avalanche... rather small... but enough that for a while due to the powder I couldn't see anything... it was crazy... body of course... this time I couldn't tame it... a real circus show... hehe... I got down properly soaked and frozen... nice tour

I snapped this flower on Kobla

@ Peter hello. Thanks for going to check this gentian and it seemed to me it could still be blooming, because we photographed it last Sunday if you need that photo too, when it's in full bloom, contact Katty. Best regards!

Apolonija... Slightly smaller, that was all on the pic. I'm thinking maybe of going, dunno how with time... It will surely flower still this weekend.

Miri... Hehe not photomontage, we three saw this flower

Daon primrose isn't it because leaves are larger and don't have smooth edges

Hi Apolonija and other flower hunters hehe... Yeah this primula is really interesting... I spotted it a few meters above the path and it caught my eye just because of the stems which are about 10 cm high ... Katty climbed higher and photographed it, it really is interesting.. And nowhere around was there anything similar... Wulfen's was already past bloom... It has slightly smaller flowers... Hope the puzzle gets solved, I've noted the location lp

does anyone know this one

Same day did the path.. extended to Koča on Čavn.. Wonderful... Next day over Kucelj and Veliki Rob to Šempas

on Thursday 14.5. everything was already blooming

Great job you two did, we hesitated about snowshoes and they stayed in the car.. uphill still ok... downhill already sinking quite a bit because it warmed up

If I'd gone a bit later I'd have had plenty of sun at the top

A few comments were moved.. no problem... We all are visitors of mountains or hills, slopes.. there we are guests.. and as guests we must follow certain rules that mountains dictate.. and rules long in force.. I walk a lot in hills in Austria.. must say here you hardly meet anyone in winter... except hikers and even those more in spring... by the way.. colleague mountain guide from the place where I live in Austria explained to me straight that such rescue and treatment... the victim would have to pay himself here.. insurance would check all aspects of the accident to the last hair... here they don't give money just like that.. in short.. all who walk, ski, cycle and do plenty of stupidities in hills... same rules apply for safety and behavior.. not that a cyclist almost knocks you on the path from Bukov hill... well a hiker already knocked me... and some stone I got from someone.. not to mention two skiers last year above planika overtaking the whole column and in between imitating monkey Šoja and bear at once.. yeah normal hill walkers were in their way... wind though taught me to fly on nanos years ago with my 90 kg.. of course we were roped properly and I didn't climb into accident myself because I could have nice 20 second view of Razdrto and surroundings... not to mention lightning hail and rime.. dangers are always objective and subjective.. on some we can influence on others not but mostly can avoid them...with knowledge experience patience and caution so mountaineers hillwalkers skiers alpinists highlanders hikers snowshoers cyclists and all else that crawls up there, each with their reason.. respect mountains and safe above foggy valleys!

I almost laugh reading some comments about terminology ... if someone knew mountaineering terminology they'd know what pasture, hill, mountain mean etc and that's how the one who lounges up there is named in the library for a book

I rarely post here, but it doesn't give me peace. I fully agree with serznoz... I've been a mountain guide for almost thirty years and the experiences in those years teach you many things... I'd just write this: mountains have their own laws and there are rules, even written ones, by which we should behave in the mountains. Dejan violated at least three: consideration of the weather forecast, the avalanche forecast and going alone into the hills in such conditions... already in one of his previous posts from the Kamnik Alps I noticed something similar... In the hills, knowledge and courage aren't enough. Above all, the head is important, which must always be in the right place, and experiences which you get mainly with years... pushing somewhere at any cost I don't approve of. I think Slovenia has a lot of nice huts, which in those conditions were much more suitable for some nice adventure... I know there's no 100% safety but we can do a lot ourselves to avoid dangers, above all by going to the mountains mainly with head... Dejan, I wish you the quickest recovery; you had luck... luck accompanies the brave... return to the hills as soon as possible but with more sense and thoughtfulness... when where... and I hope you've learned something from this experience... and others too. Best.

Nice.. a tour worth checking out up close
