You need to read the whole article to understand what it's about. This is interesting, to put it mildly:

"President of the regional association of hunting ground managers of the Gorenjska hunting-management area Andrej Avsenek says: Among solutions he sees establishing regulations on where and when people could move, so not on off-trail paths, but on legal trails and at certain times."

So will off-trail be over then, and on marked trails there'll be a schedule when you can and cannot go?!

Monte Dauda (1765m) is a magnificent viewpoint in the Carnic foothills. The starting point for the hike is the village Fielis, on the square next to the monument to the fallen there is a large free parking lot. We get here if on the road connecting Tolmezzo and Arta Terme, shortly after Cedarchis we turn left over the bridge across the But river and immediately after it right towards Fielis, to which we have another good four kilometers of locally steeper and narrower road. I always start the hike (this time for the third time) at the fountain next to the monument, along a narrow and steep road that brings me to the Dauda pasture. Asphalt, concrete, gravel, locally quite steep, but doable. If going further along the road we arrived on past the playground and inn, you reach another parking lot, there to the left is the start of the marked path CAI 157, I haven't gone on it yet. On the pasture first views, there I stepped on snow which I had quite some all the way to the top. I continued on the forest road to the right and after some time reached the saddle Forcella Meleit, where the signpost directed left to the footpath. A comfortable track allowed enjoyable walking, crampons and gaiters stayed in the backpack, the weather was also great, some wispy clouds gave a mystical touch to the wonderful mountain and valley scenery. A short way to the right to the ridge or crest, there sharply left, just a bit more and I was at the top. There a huge cairn, cross a bit lower. Views to lick one's fingers, eyes mist up seeing these beauties, then some griffons glide in and it seems you're dreaming the sweetest dreams. Divine. I did the descent on another path because it was snow-free. In snow I wouldn't tackle it, up there are very steep grassy slopes, avalanche-prone and dangerous for slipping. Second time I took it, so I knew where on the crest to turn left, path less visible, junction not marked. Then a steep descent like the inrun of a ski jump, there on dry grass and muddy path slid like a hundred devils, literally minced downhill very carefully. End of the steep section another less visible turnoff where the path goes into the forest, then pure joy to the pasture, beautiful beech forest where we could easily film Little Red Riding Hood, Hansel and Gretel or similar. On the pasture a short break, then down the same path or road as the ascent to the village. Great trip, in winter perfect for snowshoeing, in the direction of ascent of course. Mandi

Marmot's offspring ...

Just go ahead, currently I have 810 of them No kidding

Bojan Turšič, Ljubljana (Ljubljana because there are two of us with the same surname and name)

No need. As for other alpine ascents, experience and appropriate fitness are sufficient.

Monte Tamau is also two-thousander

I should add to what @mimi129 wrote. I was in Bormio in June, cycled the passes Umbrail (CH), Gavia, Stelvio and Mortirolo (all IT). Everywhere traffic jams of vehicles, especially sports cars, cabrios, countless cyclists, not to forget motorcyclists. And mountaineers and day-trippers of course. All passes free, no toll booths anywhere, but everything runs

Parking will be free until the end of this year.

Before that, Vršič will be closed to all traffic and the detour will be via Predel. It will however be possible quite high below the pass on both sides. But not across.

Notification about the complete closure of the Vršič pass will also be arranged on the existing signs (CLOSED/OPEN) and on the variable content sign from the direction of Kranjska Gora and in the area of the barriers from the direction of Kranjska Gora and Trenta.

The establishment of the complete closure is planned in one of the following terms:

Monday 24. 8. 2026 (from 04:00) – Tuesday 25. 8. 2026 (until 06:00) – PLANNED TERM
Tuesday 25. 8. 2026 (from 04:00) – Wednesday 26. 8. 2026 (until 06:00) – RESERVE TERM
Wednesday 26. 8. 2026 (from 04:00) – Thursday 27. 8. 2026 (until 06:00) – RESERVE TERM
Thursday 27. 8. 2026 (from 04:00) – Friday 28. 8. 2026 (until 06:00) – RESERVE TERM

Day 1:
Stara Fužina-on bicycle and pedestrian path, separated from the main road, to Bohinjska Bistrica-Orožnova koča na Planini za Liscem-Črna prst-Rodica-Koča na planini Razor (overnight stay)
This is the longest and most physically demanding day, but with an exceptional panoramic ridge above Orožnova koča.

Day 2:
Planina Razor-Vogel-Konjsko sedlo-Planina Govnjač-Dom na Komni (overnight stay)
Lots of hilly terrain and grassy ridges.

Day 3:
Dom na Komni-Koča pod Bogatinom-Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih-Zasavska koča na Prehodavcih (overnight stay)
Highland terrain, without technically demanding parts, with the ambiance of the Triglav National Park and numerous lakes.

Day 4:
Zasavska koča na Prehodavcih-Koča pri Triglavskih jezerih-Planina pri Jezeru-Planina Blato-Vogar-Stara Fužina
A long cross-country final stage through the beautiful Bohinj pastures.

I tried to calculate the length of the stages and the height difference quite roughly, so it should only serve as an orientation.
Day 1: 24km-28km, ascent approx. 2200m
Day 2: 20km-24km, ascent approx. 1400m
Day 3: 18km-22km, ascent approx. 1200m
Day 4: 22km-25km, ascent approx. 400m, descent approx. 2000m

Radars are the digital age, in analog it was different

Some say it's forbidden, others that it's discouraged. Actually there's a spring there, so ...

There's no hero who doesn't pee when he poops. And there's almost none who chooses Erjavčevo as the starting point for Špik. Strange, to put it mildly.

This is how it was last August (photo) and this July it was no different at Pecol, of course free, gratis, gratuito, kostenlos
