Nice greeting.



My friend and I want to do a two-day hike this weekend.

1.(Logarska-Ojstrica-Planjava-Kamniško s.)

2.(Kamniško s.-Brana-Turska g.-Koroška r.-Okrešelj-Logarska).



Below I list times and elevation meters that I found in books and online. Wondering if they are fairly accurate:



Day 1

Logarska-Ojstrica 4:15 (1580m)

Ojstrica-Planjava 1:30 (385m)

Planjava-Kamniško s. 1:00 (10m)

Total 6:45 (1975m)



Day 2

Kamniško s.-Brana 1:00 (390m)

Brana-Turska g. 2:00 (380m)

Turska g.-Turski ž. 0:30 (0m)

Turski ž.-Koroška r. 1:00 (320m)

Koroška r.-Okrešelj ??? (3h)(10m)

Okrešelj-Logarska 1:00 (0m)

Total 8:30 (1100m)



Especially interested in the path from Koroška rinka to Okrešelj (time and descent difficulty)?



Hope it's not too demanding.



Thanks for any response and advice.

On July 27th we visited the summit of Kum.

The previous day we checked which trail, we decided on the trail through Škratova dolina, but we shortened the trail and drove up to 500m altitude. The trail to the starting point was a steep road, first to Jelovo, an excellent asphalted road, then past St. Katarina on a narrow poor trail further, past farms first down the valley then a bit uphill. Where the trail from Zidani Most joins we leave the car and head to the summit.

Already after 200m of walking a friendly hunter addresses us. After an hour of walking, when we reach the asphalted road, a very friendly elderly lady awaits us with schnapps, we chat a bit and promise her in return to pick a bouquet of flowers which we did. The trail to the summit was pleasant, not too hot, and there was a little wind at the top. At the summit very nice view in all directions. The trail was well maintained.

Road to starting point from Radeče: 11km
ASCENT: 2:30h, 800m elevation, 6.3 km
DESCENT: 1:45h, 20m elevation, 6.3 km

On Sunday, 8.5., my girlfriend and I went to the hills to check from afar the conditions in the KSA mountains.

From Velenje, the drive to the starting point took one hour. To Lepenatka we took the ridge on the sunny side; it was pleasantly warm, no cloudy wind yet, but it appeared on the summit. On the summit there was a nice view of the surrounding hills and mountains. From the NE we soon saw clouds gathering in the distance. On the summit, pleasant 15 degrees and 52% humidity, so it was nice to "martinčkati" on the lee side. After one hour, back to the car, where clouds were already starting.

Walking time to the summit: 1h 10min. I recommend the loop, first via the gully to the bivouac then back via the meadow. The sun already has its power.

fpetel1 good suggestion for reverse direction, hope the weather allows, but as it looks now there won't be anything this weekend.

Maybe shorter trip each day early in the morning.

What about the descent to savinjsko sedlo?
