Yesterday, despite the poorer weather forecast, we decided to head from Zadnjica over Kriški Podi and past Bavški Gamsovec over Plemenice to Triglav. The weather held up, the path is dry, where there's still some snow patch you can avoid it without any problem. We slept in Planika after the all-day tour, this morning we returned via Dolič over Komar to Zadnjica. That part of the path is also dry. The whole tour is quite strenuous. In the mountains these days there is a huge number of foreigners, especially Spaniards and Czechs. Huts are FULL! What if PZS introduced mandatory escort by local mountain guides?
This hustle in the mountains at the beginning of July really surprised me and I have to admit I don't like it much.

I'm wondering if the footpath to Golte is at all trodden in winter and where it starts from? Thanks for the info in advance!

Road to Jermanca is quite OK. On two parts it's a bit rougher, but it's doable slowly.

What about the usual path to Komna? Still lots of snow and sinks a lot given temps?

Park at the parking before the gondola. On foot you can go through DOL valley to Zeleni rob (marked path ca 2.5 hours) or over RIGELJ (hunter's, unmarked, a bit steeper, arrive at planina a bit further from gondola, also ca 2 hours). Good luck!

On the PZS website all huts and their status are listed. Cojzova hut is open!

Also today 19.3.2016 it's nice and there's quite some folk. For tomorrow's memorial it's well trodden.

Nothing! All melted due to high temperatures.

Yes Mukica, then we "unknowingly met" on the scree around 10am, when you were already waving down ? Really a wonderful day!

Today we went on foot from Mrzli studenec towards Blejska koča. Road passable only to first hut (200 m from main road). Otherwise nice on foot too and less hot than via planina Zajavornik.

This afternoon we were up there. From the quarry onwards there's enough snow, as the snowcat is still running. There were quite a few skiers too. For the weekend it might be crowded given the nice weather forecast.

Yesterday road dry to parking at quarry, snow further to Velika planina quite wet. Today nicely snowing, forecasted cca 10cm new... Can call inn at Kranjski rak for first-hand info!

Anyone have info how the parking at the waterfall is? If even more about the path itself to Komna even better. Thanks!

All congratulations to the competitors and all the numerous other visitors who cheered runners to conquer the top despite the fierce heat. In my opinion Grintovec never had so many visitors! The return to the valley unlike the morning pleasant temperatures was real hell!

Come on, stop it! It'll never be right for everyone. In as large a number as possible let's go cheer the runners and spend a nice day in the beautiful mountains, in good company, away from the hellish heat. I'll cheer for all, men and women, good and less good...! Courage and good will for the competitors and other visitors of this year's 15th Grintovec Run!

Today we headed from Krma via Kurica to Planika and Triglav. In Kurica there's one nasty snowfield, but with a bit of ingenuity can avoid it. From Planika to Triglav just a little snow at start, which on return can offer real fun. Otherwise path dry. Just mention well done road to Krma - deep ruts and holes probably still winter legacy. Not many visitors on Triglav today, weather offered bit of everything - we got washed too! Safe to all!

Today we finished the week in style. Kamnik Saddle was quite inviting. Snow starts from the basin where the turn-off for Srebrno sedlo is. With every step it gains height and there's quite a bit of it. Just before Pastirci avalanche remains are visible, and today it was avalanching decently from surrounding peaks - but not dangerous for hikers, surprisingly many of them. Only at the top did we realize that the Memorial for ski and ice axe was taking place. Wonderful sunny and warm weather made the day even more magical.
