I'm interested if anyone has done such a tour, starting in V Koncu going over Kokrsko sedlo to Dolgi hrbet, Štruca and Skuta and slept in the bivouac under Skuta, next day then to Turška gora, Brana, Planjava and back to V Koncu? How demanding is this tour, how much time would it take? Is there any option to cross somewhere from Planjava to V Koncu so I don't have to walk the same path? Thanks

Bravoooo, what views. I hope I'll be there someday too

Has anyone been to Marmolada in the last week, what are the conditions? Thanks.

Hi mirccar! I was on Watzmann last weekend, the path is dry. The path is quite physically demanding, you do 2200m vertical. When I was browsing the net I saw that some go circular or traverse the entire ridge and return the same way, we didn't have enough time for that feat. To the hut we needed 3 hours walk, although it said 4 hours at the start. From the hut to the first peak Hocheck it was two hours walk and then to the next peak Mittelspitze about 45 min. To Mittelspitze it's recommended to have a helmet, before that you don't even need it and a via ferrata set, we didn't use it though, but the path is quite exposed in one section. Most were without helmet and also without protection kit. If you're interested in anything else just ask. Below attaching a blog link, interesting read:

How many hours for the entire circular tour? Thanks

I need help buying a backpack. I need it for one-day and two-day trips to high mountains, for via ferratas and normal paths. I'm deciding between three. Please, if someone can advise me. Thanks.
