I fully agree with @korl. UI apps often give completely different answers to the same question. That's why I put my answer in quotes and topped it with a smiley.

Now for fun I put the same question and picture next to chatGPT into other UI apps and got different answers (Bard, Bing AI, Perplexity, Deepseek and Grok).
And it's true: mostly they conclude it's an old wall meant for what korl writes; few mention game.

My suggestion: let the guys in labs keep working and refining things. In two, three years show them this old wall again to see how far development has come

That's what "this new smartness" says

Bravo for such feats. I hope you two agree soon for another trip - with report of course.

lynx; I heard about that diagonal variant. But then I was already at the larches, it was also the second half of September and I had to watch out not to get caught by night. So it seemed safest to return on the known path. Thanks for the tip - I'll definitely go up there again and check all these variants.

@funnyboy: exactly like that I tried too. I stuck to the right side looking down. I also saw that path further on, but I wasn't sure - neither about the way to it, nor about myself. So I turned back.

@Kostja: thanks for the description. But, as I wrote, I was at MMP and on the way back I also reached the Three Larches. I just didn't find the descent from the Three Larches. Did you go down like funnyboy wrote, or is there another path.

Since we're already on the Mala Martuljška Ponca page: also with the help of photos and descriptions on this website, I went (and returned) to MMP in 2019. At that time I also left my track here (in the GPS tracks tab). https://www.hribi.net/gps_sled/konec_gozdne_ceste_parkirisce_-_mala_martuljska_ponca_mala_martuljska_ponca/702
You can see what kind of mountaineer I am from the line or track where I walked Nevertheless, I hope it helped someone.

Tone: your sentence caught my eye: " Down veeery slowly, because the left knee is completely in th..." I assume you have a worn knee. I had similar problems myself, especially on descents. The next year I had surgery and got an "artificial" knee (total endoprosthesis). And now I walk much, much easier than before. If you have a similar situation - I hope everything will be fine.

The GPS track also shows that on the way back I went to the Three Larches. Then partly because of the knee and also because I didn't know or dare to go further down, I returned over the scree to Kotle and descended to the valley.

Kostja: you mention that you went down past the Three Larches. Do you have any more photos or can you write (or someone else), where and on which side is the most suitable descent from the Three Larches.

The logbook was already quite poor in 2019. Thanks for the renovation.

@lijaneja: with greatest pleasure. Maybe you don't know how often your descriptions and pics helped people like me. Usually forget to thank. Anyway; more of your posts and pics - even if some a bit sideways

@lijaneja: if it maybe helps. Simply rotated the pic with Win 10 standard program.

A few years ago, when I went to Snežnik I drove through Bloke and then past Grad Snežnik. There somewhere by the castle the asphalt road ended. From Grad Snežnik to Sviščaki there's a long gravel road ahead. And I thought they had newly asphalted this road.

From which side to Sviščaki is asphalt? Ilirska Bistrica or Bloke?

I always park in Strahomerje at (free) parking and so far no problems.

I join Janez's opinion.

Such pictures, especially if equipped with captions, are not only interesting, but very useful and welcome for many hikers. This has nothing to do with Instagram or Facebook culture.

I hope that @lijaneja and others don't stop "tiring".

Such a location as Tičarjev dom has is worth gold. A restaurateur/manager who can make a loss there must be a real master of his trade.
I think something much dirtier is being played in the background.

If it was really about traffic regulation and environmental protection, then the solution is simple: up to a certain time (e.g. until 8am) driving into Vrata and parking at current prices is possible. That would solve the problem for all serious hikers and walkers.
For tourists arriving after 8am there's the bus.
But since those responsible actually don't care about mountaineering nor nature protection, but only about collecting as much money as possible, it won't be like that.
