Hello,
It was a nice day, perfect for visiting our Kovk, but on the way to the top I encountered a terrible sight.
A few meters off the marked path I spotted a little pup whining and limping.
I approached him and saw he was caught in an iron trap - jaw trap.
Who still uses these traps, people without conscience, as far as I know they're banned and last I saw them in the movie Shepherds, which I watched with kids.
The dog growled when I approached, but when I bent to free him, he became very tame and scared.
I freed him and the pup limped away, after a few meters turned as if to thank me and disappeared somewhere.
Thank God I chose this ascent today and saved the little dog's life.

Yes @miri, Otliško okno or hole above Ajdovščina is the correct answer.

The legend about the origin of Otliško okno is also interesting
I recommend it to families

@miri, one could say it's part of Rob, but can you define the target more precisely, the one in the cirque on the right

Where is the lad heading?

Drago, where are you aiming, as far as I know it's asking about the Peak here, but really it's only - the one in the fog

..maybe into male company

Bravo mukica, it was photographed about 25 min below the summit when we were moving on scree.
I had you in mind for the correct answer, you can continue

One from abroad.
Which peak was our goal?

this one is quite SPIKey

Congratulations....

The direct path between Triglavski dom on Kredarica and Dom Planika is well done and marked as an easy path.

@spyderskidoo, if you're really that interested and not in a hurry otherwise, I suggest you go "time" all routes and post them here, then you'll at least know which path is the fastest by time and you'll answer the question for many others ...me too...

The path over Prag is shorter than from Kota in terms of length in meters, but I'm not sure it's also faster... it depends on how strong your legs are.

@Smetar
My feet have been using Salomon hiking boots with Contragrip sole for the last few years and I have no complaints.
The boots are extremely light and comfortable for walking, as if I were wearing gym shoes.
I use low boots for trekking on local peaks and I think after five years they still serve their purpose, despite a lot of mileage over rough and steep terrain.
With high SALOMON QUEST 4D 2 boots, I go to the high mountains without fear or prejudice, whether it's rock or grass, though the sole is much softer than on boots for semi or automatic crampons.
20 years ago or more, I remember we "crawled" over Plemenice, Jalovec... with high red PUMA sneakers and there were no problems.. now... no comment!

Well done guys,
you pulled it off great. Nice report.
Keep it up.
