I was also hoping for this view from the third picture when I was on Briceljk for the first time two months ago, but due to thick fog I couldn't see five meters away. But I can be glad I didn't get lost.

Didn't they recently write in the Slovenian constitution that people have the option to pay with cash? Meaning all these parking meters where payment is only with stupid apps are unconstitutional.

I however understand much better those who post this for money or even live off these posts, than those who do it just for "fame". So that neighbors and colleagues see how they climbed Triglav and how photogenic they are with ice axe in hand.

Also nearby in Veliki koriti real mess with parking payment. Don't know how much to pay, how to pay, where to pay. Various signs with different data. Even checking web nothing clear. Real experts in complicating at Bovec municipality.

PZS is looking away in all this or even holding the pole. This year is the last I'm their member.

You have to pay the parking fee, if not, you'll pay a fine. You'll pay something anyway so the municipality and state fill their pockets.
When they break into your car in those same Vrata, the cop will tell you right away that they won't find the thief. Of course not, because they don't even look for him. Because a thief is just a cost for the state. Gotta judge him, send to prison, all that costs. Better to fill pockets than empty them.
That's how it is in our country. One big mess.

The funniest thing is that if you drive to Blato you pay 20 euros a day (not little), but if you leave the car in the valley then 30 or more. And they do all this just for the environment, not for profit.

On Tuesday returning from Planina Blato I overtook two Germans at the parking meter before the barrier. Since they didn't know how it works they asked me for help. "Insert ticket here" I say, "money here, 20 euros". "Oh my God" the woman says quite loudly.
Yes, even for rich foreigners this is quite usurious. And someone will say why not go by bus. Because in September it runs only on weekends. They say don't go by car to the mountains, then offer us impossible alternatives.

Thanks for the reply. Thought it was some prank.

Today on the way to Blegoš I saw several such mushrooms with upside-down cap. Maybe someone knows what species?

Just one recent example from mountaineering or alpinistic circles. Article title:-Tragic: Slovenian alpinist died. Further on we can read it's an 87-year-old former alpinist. Why such a title? What does someone imagine under that title?
I'm no expert in media, but I follow them every day and see where it's all going. In all fields and not just marginal media. And God forbid criticizing journalists, they are a protected species

It seems that mountaineers have also fallen for these sensationalist media of ours, for whom shock value is more important than truth. No one was rescued from Triglav or mountain paths, but from the mountain hut in the valley, where they were stuck due to the closed road. Isn't the purpose of the hut also to provide shelter to people? And this Gregorčič is pontificating, when just two weeks ago he was apologizing when it rained unexpectedly all night.

The biggest problem isn't trampling if you know where to step.
On this path markings are already a bit lacking in places even when dry. Now all under snow and someone not knowing the area could have orientation issues. Maybe by Sunday some trampled, probably better to wait a bit. Good luck.

Even when dry there's quite some walking on asphalt, now even more so. All these footpaths are deep in snow today (half a meter and more) and it's not certain that it will all be trampled by Sunday.
