Many thanks!

Please let me know if the road from Kranjski Rak to the parking at Marjanine Njive is dry. Thanks and safe travels on all paths.

Hello! Has anyone gone to Kojnik and then to Lipnik and Kavčič these days? I'm wondering if the orchids and everything else are already in full bloom? Thanks a lot for reply and regards!

Dear ana13, this time with your reply to Igor you missed a bit. Obviously you don't know yet that the western Julian Alps are the wildest, most beautiful and also very, very demanding. And Zlodej's descriptions are very well written, so you can excellently "follow" them and climb some peak that seemed unreachable before. Shame he doesn't compile his mountain visits into a guidebook form. Therefore the reproach that his range is narrow is mildly put impudent. Just as Savinja Alps are far for people beyond Vršič, so are the mountains around Bovec far for us on this side. But it's sad that we argue about New Year's Eve. That's an individual's matter and let everyone experience it as they wish. Let's be patient and have a nice time in the mountains or in the valleys. There's enough space for all. Good luck!

Please add a new section (My mouth, praise me...) and let the self-praisers argue there who runs faster. The basic purpose of this website is already quite perverted. Ordinary walkers just like to look for ideas where and of course with route descriptions, since this site is very useful, route descriptions are well written.

Since this morning I've been humming that song from our youth that we sang on this day: 'It's nice to be in our homeland....' It was already OK for that reason, because we were more or less all modest (poor). We didn't even know it back then and were satisfied with everything. And we felt so grown-up when we became youths. Have a nice day, everyone!

What more can a soul wish for that loads 6 crosses on its back and is happy for every trip it still makes? This year will remain mainly in my memory when the day after the new year at minus 16 I "crossed" from Pokljuka to Zajmanike, when in July on Krasji vrh I got soaked like not for a long time. Čisti vrh completely captivated me, as well as the pastures under Tolmin migovec, and again Krasji vrh in August dog heat.... yes, every trip is my little pearl in the string of memories that will one day, when the leg can no longer go uphill, beautify long days without mountains. I heartily hope that next year too every weekend and a bit in between I will somewhat "thaw out".
I wish everyone a nice and friendly year and that we all find our paths.

Good pics are never too many. I agree, they give drive and ideas where to go to mountains. Whoever they bug nerves, liver and more, just don't look.

Thanks a lot for the reply. Tomorrow early morning hit the trail, to enjoy the autumn colors. Nice weekend and happy trails!

Hi Heinz, how much time did you take for this path and did you have "hellish" pace. Your description gave me an idea where to go among the larches, so not too crowded. Thanks for the reply and happy trails on all paths.

In my young years they told me I must go to the mountains so wisdom would meet me, because there the paths are narrow and wisdom would have no place to avoid me. If it met me... I don't know. Now looking back, I'd say I'm a happy person because the first time they dragged me to the mountains and "poisoned" me with them. Thanks, sis. Why I go, what pulls me, well... no simple answer. I know though that up there silence whispers, wind in larches sings, views to the sky are divine, vistas into the valley... And when it was worst for me I always found myself up there high... Also I know that my time for mountains will expire and I'll live off memories and yellowed photos, avidly browsing web pages and feeding on your experiences, all of you who have many paths ahead. May we be granted many more days in mountains.

Dear planinka, Panoramik is a bit higher up, nicely written and not only written but also attached photos of how this path looks. Well, you could also peek into some guide and map of Julians. Good luck to all on mountain paths.

Triglavski definitely deserves all our support. Within PZS there should be a few more such presidents as him to finally make order. For some time I've been thinking whether it's even worth being PZS member anymore. I pay membership fee out of some loyalty and habit. That something's wrong in PZS is best evidenced by membership practically halving (if memory serves, we had 120,000 in best times now supposedly only just over 50,000). Isn't it time to create some competition for PZS??? Safe and happy to all.

Excellent suggestion. Not only those who love mountains, every Slovene should contribute 1 EUR (or more, whoever can). When "this new" Kredarica was built or extended, the entire Slovenian community helped too. In those times all employed had to give one day's earnings for road construction, in return we got bonds redeemable after so many years. Those bonds could then be allocated for building the hut at Kredarica. I allocated mine for that purpose. It would be right to help now also with the renovation of the Dolič hut. The PD managing the Dolič hut should open an account to which individuals and companies can transfer their contribution.

I fully agree that the tower stays up there as it is. If the tooth of time gnaws it over many years and one day it's gone.... everything in life is transient. Then let descendants make a copy and bring it up. Easier for them than for Jakob Aljaž. Money for this madness let PZS allocate for Dolič hut renovation. More useful.
