Yesterday I completed a wonderful tour on an unusually warm October day amid varied and colorful views: Hotel Plesnik-Slap Palenk-Icmanikov stan-Movznik-Ute-Travnik-Krofička-Klemenča jama-Hotel Plesnik (through the tunnel). I was at Icmanikov stan for the first time. From the waterfall the path is very steep, but the colorful autumn forest made up for everything. The first magnificent view opened under Rkljeva peč. Unfortunately at Icmanikov stan everything was torn up, a new road is being built - construction machines and felled trees left a bad impression and markings have disappeared too, but luckily my companion who had been here remembered where the path continuation might be. The path to Movznik seemed much more trodden to me this time than the last time I wandered around there (which is really several years ago
). To the shepherd's hut under Ute it went quite quickly and smoothly (ropes are even installed on the harder section, so you can self-belay). At the hut a well-deserved snack then onward over scree almost to the ridge and under the wall left to the meadow. Then debate with companion, which gully is the right one. Right or left? Right, that first one! On Ute the sky cleared too and wonderful views opened. Along the ridge it went nicely flowing, although at first it seems among these dwarf pines there really is no passage. But there is
. Soon Travnik summit was conquered, then a bit more dwarf pines, then retreat to Robanova side and grassy slope, via gully back to ridge, some more scrambling over rocky outcrops and suddenly Krofička summit was right in front of my nose. Yay! Followed by initially quite slippery then beautiful forest descent on marked path to Klemenča jama. From there after excellent Segedin goulash just a pleasant walk to start. Still in short sleeves (would have worn shorts too but didn't have them - who would've expected they'd come in handy), even though it was already around 5 pm
