Despite the "cloudy forecast", it turned into a beautiful morning. From Kamniška Bistrica through Repov kot and then towards Macesnovec below Planjava. Descent to Pastirci. The path is well traceable.

Hi! I'm about to make (my first) purchase of low hiking shoes (for short light trips with kids, for "training" on Smarna Gora, Polhograjec etc.). For such things I don't want to walk in high boots, until now I've walked in regular sneakers, now I'd like something in between... but in the flood of offers I can't find my way around very well... I have another problem... I have a very large foot (42 or 42.5), but narrow and especially with a very low instep, so women's models I practically can't get, men's are okay in length for me, but don't hold the foot, because there's too much "air" everywhere except the length... What do you use, what do you recommend, with which brand or model are you satisfied, what to watch out for. Thanks for every advice!

This is how it looked from the path to Vrh Korena

description in Stritar guide Grintovci southern approaches- Under Brano and Planjava just like that.

Despite the crowds at the parking in Kamniška Bistrica and higher up, there were none on the hunters' path branching off from the Repov kot path and running under Planjava. We didn't meet anyone. The icing on the cake is the view from B. Kuclja.

both, clearly visible already when ascending Velika Zelenica from the east side. At the bivouac there was no snow yet

Just before Planina Ravne we emerged from the foggy sea. Above it sun, golden larches, blue sky, peaks whitened with new snow.

Pika, you do exceptional tours! Congratulations to you and your group.

pika, I always enjoy again and again looking at your photos,

Pika, congratulations on the trip, for the nice photos and clever and witty captions

Yes, you can. The road is open. On the Italian side there is still some snow. See the picture from 18.8.2014 by lakkon.

Pika, to you and the group sincere congrats and many more similar ascents

Some photos from today's ramble on Dleskovska plateau - from Podvežak, past hunters' hut on Brežiče to Deska, Tolsti vrh and Vodotočnik. Surprisingly still lots of snow.

Snow surprised this morning at fairly low altitude. Already before Črnivec there was some by the road. How Velika Planina looked this morning is shown by the following photos.

Today from Planina Jezerce to Vrh Korena. The path to planina Koren is nicely passable, but there is still some scree on the path. From Planina onwards snow starts, about a meter at the top. The avalanche signs on Vrh Korena haven't left yet either.

I was impatiently waiting to hear from where Pika would report. Congrats to both for the nice tour.
