Today we headed into the long valley that takes you from Brunico under the three-thousanders – Tauferer Ahrntal (Valli di Tures e Aurina). We drove right to the end, to the organized parking lot (Kasern – Casere, 1566 m). The wide gravel path (no. 13) leads past the Prastmarn hut, past an interesting little church from 1455, Trinkstein hut, to the pleasant stop at the end of the valley, Kehrer. From here we continue on the path, where stone steps made from local rocks impress us. The path offers a wonderful view of the valley and slopes crisscrossed with larger and smaller torrents. After 20 minutes and over 100 m elevation, we reach the Lahner hut (1986 m), pressed against a huge rock. From here a view of the Prettau glacier opens up for us. Wonderful trip for when you don't want effort!

Our starting point for the ascent to the 2818 m high "Red Wall" was the Staller Sattel pass, 2050 m (the border between Austria and Italy runs over it). The path is very well marked (no. 7), the terrain extremely watery. Along the path and on nearby slopes there are still quite a few "winter remnants". The summit itself, in contrast to the plateaus which the approach follows, is quite crumbly, steep in the last part. Nice and technically undemanding tour.

Something from today's walk

Pleasant circular tour, we start at the parking lot for Osolnik a bit along the road, then left by a small stream to Dom na Govejku. Pleasant path to Beli plaz saddle passes quickly, then a bit of steepness to the top, short rest and we're already heading towards Osolnik. We finish in Brunarica with a cold beer.

Yesterday a pleasant tour to Veliki Vrh - Veža, path without special features, quite a few hikers, weather wonderful for hiking.

I'm interested, and probably others too, whether the parking lots along the Vršič road will be marked with signs that parking is allowed. For example under Tonka's hut, at the Hut in the forest, at the Russian cross, Russian chapel, there are quite a few such places along the Vršič road and from them there are quite a few nice hiking tours. I'm also interested if the price list has already been determined.
Thank you for the answer and good luck to hikers with the new traffic regime!

Thanks for the information

Well, I completely understand that the road is bad and rutted, since at key points it was never ideal, but it was possible.
But I'm interested whether driving to Jermance or to Konec is now allowed (there was a prohibition sign) and whether environmentalists and wardens happily write fines?
Thanks for the answer and information. Best regards and good luck.

Pleasant circular tour Prtovč, Razor, Vratca, past the shaft of St. Joseph and Francis to Altemaver and short rest at Krek's hut. Then mini via ferrata (short and sweet for old goats), descent to Povdna (Poden) and on to starting point. Parking 4 euros, paid at Petrol in Železniki. Path BP, many hikers, weather super anyway.

Thanks.

Congratulations, you two are great.I was up there with my wife on 02.08.2012.

Yesterday for me and a friend to an unknown area that I hardly know. Destination Racna gora, some descriptions are on hribi.net. The path is marked from Vrhnika pri Lož, in the lower part pleasant for walking, but when the markings direct you to the trail it is overgrown in places and the path is not visible at all in places, so, one has to be careful where the markings direct you, but there are many cart tracks and forest roads. We return by the same path, in the lower part we turn right to the paragliding takeoff and straight to the cart track. On the top it was windy, but there is no view, because the top is overgrown. We didn't meet anyone.

Are they maybe some kind of breed, in 2017 on Zgornja Krma mountain

When "tašči" language blooms

I wasn't the guide, but I was on the hike on 28th and 29th September 2018 along the first ascenders' path, on the 240th anniversary of the first ascent to Triglav.
Best regards. Good luck on your paths and I hope we meet again sometime.

Did we maybe meet?

Pleasant ascent to Dovška Baba, fresh morning, pleasant for walking during the day with a light breeze. No more snow, paths are dry. Quite a few hikers. The pictures also say something about the day.
