Does anyone perhaps know why almost all choughs have rings on their little legs and who rings them and how.

Yesterday my husband and I left our poles on the path from Češka koča to Kočna at the first pegs. There were already some there then. On return one pair of ours was missing, the previous ones were still there. We took them and hope someone mistakenly took ours instead of theirs. Hope they read this page and we can arrange a swap.

I'm also interested. Has anyone been up there recently?

On Thursday, 22. 10., at the lower cable car station to Kokrsko Saddle I saw a bunch of keys. Hanging on the direction sign. When I free up some space on my phone, I'll add their photo.

On Sunday we set off to Kompotela, but due to thick fog and especially high snow, we turned back. Snow starts already soon above planina Koren and you need to be fully winter equipped. There's more than a meter of snow.

Path from Ledin to Rink shorter than Kopiščarjeva, much less protection, but very crumbly. Especially downhill need to walk very carefully. On path from Ledin to Češka koča self-belay kit not needed. In my opinion. Žrelo very short, pegs more helpful than cables, not hard. Further path dangerous at few spots due to slip possibility. If decide for this variant and at Češka koča still have strength, go also to Vratc.

Cat is driven by instincts, humans should consciously control instincts. Animal killers don't.

Yes, Maja, I completely agree with everything you wrote.
But the concrete case seems cruel to me personally. The man lost his wife. I can only sympathize with him and nothing else.
Justice is something else. Certainly useful, but sometimes terribly inhuman and corrupt like politics. Who knows what's behind this verdict - insurance interests seem very possible to me. Anyway, this is only the first instance. What if the husband was also inexperienced, or if she didn't have a transceiver at all. There are still quite a few different variants possible. This is a field for lawyers and there are tons of unanswered questions. The fact is that in Austria the use of avalanche transceiver is not legally prescribed or regulated by other acts.
Of course, Gita, I'm also for using as much safety equipment as possible, especially common sense ... Well, a lot has already been written about this in this debate, Turbo summed it up well. I wrote about the usefulness of the transceiver only from a legal point of view.

Maja - I found a couple things online. No one sued the gentleman privately, they charged him criminally. And that even though the avalanche transceiver wouldn't have helped the lady at all. She was in fact dead on impact from the force of the blow.

To me Triglav doesn't seem any less worthy because of this, since Stroj landed on it with a helicopter.
But do you know the rules on helicopter landings? Can one land only at certain points? Are those points predefined?
What's the reason for such a harsh attack on Stroj?
Well, maybe I'm a bit biased, because he seems honest to me. I have a purely personal experience with him - when we wanted to install solar cells on the roof, he said it wouldn't pay off for us due to tree shade. But the craftsmen had already done useless things just to cash in.

Hiking in the mountains is modern. For many it's just a sport. Almost everyone engages in sport and so the population of people in the mountains is almost the same as everywhere.

Gregor, it was really nice to see this path so detailed again. We photographed very little. We were at the top just a bit before you. As for poles - the thief will fall into our hands someday. Slovenia is small. From now on we'll carry poles in the backpack.

Yes, I think they were really better. Still I have a little hope it was a mistake.

We also saw that shit yesterday under the Rinke. Could have gone a meter off the path, damn exhibitionist.

What snake is in the picture?

Are the comments next to the pictures a bit shifted?

Hi. My daughter also had a broken little toe on her foot. After about three weeks she was walking like before and now, after three years, she can't remember which foot it was on.
