Thanks, Tonika

Has anyone been to Škaf recently? What's the condition like?

Hi,
I'm interested if there's still any snow and how the protections and markers are.

Thanks for answers.
Confused me a bit in path description (from Blato to Zelnarica 5.5 hrs, plus to Prehodavci good hour), at hut at Triglav Lakes they said whole ridge from there to Prehodavci max three hours.

Mukica,
thanks for quick reply. Please also rough time overview if you remember. How much walking from Štapc to Prehodavci - at least approx, since we'll be more, can drag. Path itself nowhere exposed? To other peaks like Mala Tičarica (optional) and Mala Zelnarica marked path doesn't go, I think?

I'm also interested if anyone recently crossed from Štapc to Prehodavci (plus Mala Tičarica, under Velika Tičarica, Kopica, to Mala Zelnarica, past Velika Z. to Vrat and further to Prehodavci). What about the path difficulty and if it's well marked.

Thanks for answers

On Saturday I was on Košutnikov Turn from the Austrian side via öTK path. The path to the wall entry is nothing special, only the ascent over the scree is strenuous. Snow is only left below the wall edge. For the climbing part (about 30 min) I strongly recommend helmet and self-belay set, as it's crumbly here and there. The path is well secured, wires nicely tensioned. Long legs come in very handy. From the ridge to the summit another 15 min over rocks and flowering grasses. No view due to fog, but greedy dippers occupied us. Descent on the eastern side is almost impossible due to missing protections, as those who turned back told us.
The path is interesting and beautiful and I recommend it to those without vertigo, as some parts are quite vertical. From hut to summit under 3 hours.
Toll fee for car 3 EUR, paid at the hut, although in Sele village no one checked.

Edos, thanks for the reply.
Also at Koschutahaus hut they confirmed to me yesterday that below the wall there's just a bit of snow left, otherwise the path is clear and nicely passable.

Has anyone been recently to Košutnikov Turn from the northern, Austrian side? I'm interested in the snow conditions and if the safety devices survived the winter okay. A couple of years ago, end of June, it was all clear.

Yes, nothing to pay. From the hotel it's 10 minutes, and you're there.

The road is passable, the toll collector says otherwise they wouldn't collect toll. On Sunday it was nice to drive, today they should arrange the road even better.

Planning trip to Triglav Lakes and Lepo Špičje. Unfortunately didn't find anywhere time for whole path from hut at Triglav Lakes over Špičje to hut at Prehodavcih. Everywhere only from one or other hut 2.5 hours. Don't know if for whole path or only half - to top of Lepo Špičje?
Has anyone recently gone this path - path condition?

Glad for any answer.
