What's happening with the PZS.SI portal, specifically with the mountain huts section?
Just a few weeks ago you could read a lot of useful information about each hut, from lists of all accesses by car, bus and train with walking times, hut description and short history, list of paths to nearby peaks and list of nearby huts with walking times to them.
Now the pages are almost useless.
Is it a long-term renovation? Will it add back all the useful information we had before? Or has it simply disappeared in the name of modern minimalist redesign?

I've noticed that Aljažev dom and Poštarski dom no longer have sleeping reservations via Alpsonline, but directly via pzs.si and everything is charged immediately.

I can't find any details about it, reservation cancellation, money refund and similar on https://www.pzs.si/vsebina.php?pid=268

Does anyone know more about this change?

Does anyone know if you can drive to the Rakov Rob parking lot or is the road still under snow? Thanks

Thanks a lot I didn't get that extra click. Now I see all the information. Here's e.g. for Pogačnikov dom:https://mapzs.pzs.si/poi/127
Excellent

Members of my hiking club Bundek were there on Saturday 9.8.2025 on Hanzova. Still need winter gear as seen in the photos: https://www.facebook.com/100063727342757/posts/pfbid02um2MMbUGi9qV32h5SFDHmi9HdUBxRRe2UVngWvWC4T4hz6KLMR6gSzoctzzAoyA8l/?app=fbl

No snow over Kalvarija. On the trail to the summit there's snow at the start, shortly before the secured part begins.
Herman, the keeper, said 50 of us are sleeping in the hut, ideal unlike the summer crowds.

5 snow patches from Konjsko sedlo to Kalvarija

I just passed through Kurica. There's a bit of snow on the trail so I went along the rock on the right.

Now further towards Kredarica. It seems there's snow here and there.

Konjsko sedlo is snow-free. The trail towards Planika seems too.

Mirnes was there again yesterday. Hats off to that guy. Looks clear to Kredarica: https://www.facebook.com/100082491222206/posts/pfbid02doymKiQvaLZYnZAZ5gTe6j4xUF2G19KLWeEPyrkF8U51Hgs33yuFC4L6tNHiS6m1l/

I'm going up tomorrow so I can write first-hand impressions.

We from Croatia also love Triglav a lot 🥰

What is the excavator doing at Kredarica? Did they fly it up by helicopter?

Mirnes was up there on Monday, for the 27th time this year: https://youtu.be/uGOIx_twiaM?si=KREqpH9d0Ee9tAgL

Looks like only 1 snow patch and that's at the start of the trail, the one down in the shade before the via ferrata.

Triglav Lodge at Kredarica has started daily operations. Does that mean the path is clear? Has anyone been to Triglav these days? Can you get to the top without winter gear?
I haven't been to Triglav this early yet, so I'm thinking about next weekend.

I was last weekend on Kepa from Dovje. Slept in Austria at Berta Hutte https://www.bertahuette-mittagskogel.at/
Thrilled with the mountain and the hut. From the top excellent view of entire Julian Alps, entire Karawanks, Kamnik-Savinja Alps, what a beauty. This became one of my favorite mountains
The trail is very attractive. Contains 4-5 short ferratas as well as several narrow crumbly sections where you really need to watch out. Otherwise similar to Stol or Vrtača.
I don't understand why more people don't go to this beautiful mountain and why it's not part of the Extended Slovenian Mountain Trail

From Dovje to summit about 1500m up, then about 700m down to hut. Took me about 5h30min with breaks. Opposite direction longer because I enjoyed about 2 hours on top in the views.

Has parking fee started in Vrata valley? How much per day?

I just passed the trail from Kisovec hut to St. Primož. Trail condition is bad, very dangerous. Several dozen fallen trees to bypass or pass under/over. But at a couple of spots no trail, washed away by flood. Worst is one section ~10m no trail. Surprised it's not closed. Recommend avoiding it and go via Pasje peči.

Kot is passable. I just slept in the Stanič hut. More people came from Kot. You can check by phone with the hut

Did you go Tominšek to Kredarica? Are there snowfields? Is winter gear needed?
Or has someone else been there these days?
