Not much is written about this peak; people usually visit it in passing (Juš recently) or do not notice it at all. I heard about it for the first time less than two years ago when someone took it as the goal of their trip. I immediately warmed up to it and added it to my list. Yesterday was dedicated to it, which is why I also chose my topic title for it.

Yesterday there was not much traffic in the direction of Prisojnik; some went via the Grebenska path, some via the Slovenska. In my direction I met no one. Well, from the point where the paths split, that is in the area called Grintovci (I learned that from the description).

It was not only the path I walked that was special; the trip was also rich in terms of observing nature in general. Already on the ascent towards Gladki rob I noticed a capercaillie that was calmly moving among the grasses; a bit further I came across a white wagtail but did not manage to photograph it. On the top of a spruce I observed the rather rarely seen wallcreeper; immediately afterwards a herd of chamois descended through the gully under Turn. A marmot also fled in front of me. There were also plenty of flowers along the path, even edelweiss on the path.

The area between Prisojnik and Razor is very interesting and will surely be visited again soon. Just walking there is inspiring, as we often say that the path can also be the goal .

This path wasn't in the plan for long, the desire was too great .
We started at the Belopeška lakes, took path 513 and soon turned onto the quite steep path 517A and walked to the next path junction by a large boulder. Here we first saw the waterfall from the left side, which I didn't know where to look for before. But it shone strongly in the sun and thus drew attention to itself. I went quite close to it to have a better look.
Then the path became even steeper, and some parts are quite exposed, so one needs to be careful. In two places higher up there are cables and they are not unnecessary.
At the top by bivak Nogara we sat for a short time, there a Czech family was also preparing for the further ascent, but our plan was different. Below the bivouac we filled up water and descended back to the mentioned boulder, where we took path 517, which leads through a larch grove at the foot of the beautiful walls of Mangart, Koritniški Mangart, later Vevnica, Strug and Ponc. This is the Alpe Vecchia path, which really doesn't leave one indifferent. We didn't envy those who might have walked on these peaks at all, as the path is incredibly scenic, so we kept turning, a bit forward, then looking back, and the cushions of mountain avens also did their part. At the next junction we were tempted by the sign for Vevnica and we wanted a bit of its closeness, so we took its path a bit higher to see these walls even closer. Strug also attracted our glances and it seemed to us that there was still some snow right at the entry to the route.
Then we continued towards koča Zacchi, where we encountered friendly staff and also friendly prices. Coffee 2.5 eur, spaghetti 10 eur, mixed salad 6 eur. This really isn't exaggeration.
We returned via path 512.

If I repeat the numbers of our paths, they alternated in parts like this 513,517A,517,513A,513,512.
All in all a wonderful trip, it would be worth repeating in the time of golden larches, if not sooner, possibly also in a slightly different version

Lučki old man?

georgia, it was you who once gave the idea and tip that past the waterfalls you can continue the path towards Porezen. But I have also already read that the path through the quarry can be closed, maybe during the week. Next time we'll go via the ferrata!

In my elementary school years, I was subscribed to the magazine Vseved

PATH PAST DAVŠKI WATERFALLS + HOČ (1514m)

I have wanted these two for a long time, and we combined both on the ascent and visit to Porezen. I must say, the drive through Davča is always beautiful in itself for me, as in one part there is only space for the road between the walls, which has been nicely renovated after the floods and of course the stream.

You can also spice up the path past the Davški waterfalls by stepping a little closer to them, but to step on this path, you have to go through the quarry, which was not a problem yesterday. We had to cross the stream three times, but before the fourth crossing we turned left. At the beginning it was not a marked path, but later we stepped on the marked path, and past the increasingly dilapidated house to the top of Porezen. The view of the new snow was magical, especially on the high mountains around Triglav, and also around Stol.

We continued along the ridge over Pohoški kup to the neighboring peak Hoč and then descended a bit on our own back towards the starting point and thus completed the circular route in full. There is not much to read about Hoč on the web, I would say almost nothing. But what is interesting is that it is apparently a recognized peak for ski tourers. Well, that surprised me a bit. In many places I saw that Hoč was the main goal of the ski tour. Well, I thought about it a bit.

Good tour overall, a good idea for others too.

Super! Someone recently posted this path, hiked from the opposite side, so starting at the hunting lodge. But not in full, of course.

Very nice!!

lencka, I didn't get many answers. Someone told me with certainty that it's a willow warbler.
But you made a great picture of such a small bird!!

Wonderful !

lencka, me too. Can I borrow the picture and ask in the FB group?

Just give another one

Sheep's side

In fact this is already part of PP, right?
