Mladinska (unmarked) path leads directly under antenna. In climbing section still torn cables.

Jasminka hello,

I don't know the official price list, but for me it's (no advertising), by far the cheapest hut in the Alps. No sheets, but I think for PD members it bills 10eur.

Kal is the work of human hands.

The stink is the consequence of the decomposition of fungi that multiply in sweat. Fungi don't thrive in an acidic environment.
The simplest is to add some citric or sulfurous acid (potassium metabisulfite) or non-aromatic vinegar or lemon juice to the water when hand washing or rinsing.

Despite gloomy weather and light rain, the afternoon drew me from Razdrtem to Nanos. Usually I start along the logging road from the parking at the former landfill, but this time the vehicle stayed soon after the water intake, because from there on fallen trees are on the path. When I push through to the parking I realize my mistake, as the pine forest through which I plan to go shows an apocalyptic image. On the forest logging road everything that could fall has fallen.
Stubbornness and persistence overcome all obstacles via detours through branches, thorns and blackberries, I break through some three hundred meters, after which conditions normalize instantly.
Rain turns to snow just below the summit. On descent in a real snow squall, for a few moments through the snowflake curtain appears the scarlet reflection of the setting sun on the sea. Nice!
I return on the marked path, on which there's one single obstacle. Fallen scrub just above the meadow above Razdrtem, which can be easily bypassed.

Until 4th Nov

Little horn or sweet bread

To avoid heat, on Wednesday evening from Neveja went to Corsi, slept there, hut empty, staff very friendly, and yesterday early via Mojzes up to Koštrunove špice. VanSims detailed description came in handy, which I screenshotted and printed into map. Thanks VanSims. Descent via prednja špranja.
Enjoyable, otherwise solitary as met no one on path. Conditions ideal.

I don't know, why clueless? Dolomites with Antelao and Civetta, from Triglav, in good weather of course nicely visible, even from the highway Divača - Sežana.

No bickering without provocation and challenge. That dictate "one must not walk" raised the pressure and triggered the avalanche.
Golak is the most non-skiable hill in Slovenia. Here skis are just lipstick.

In pictures 4 and 5 there is the hut, behind it repulsive "Kič".

Paths in our mountains are almost like highways, just missing the mesh fence. Too many signs and iron. Neighbors have less, so fewer "morons" there.

Yesterday visiting Mr. Nabojs. Welcome warm, or better said hot. Morning in Zajzera waited for end of thunderstorm and started only when sun appeared, which I later regretted as humidity and heat turned Žabniška krnica into a sauna.
Ascent past Pellarini and along »cresta est«. Wonderful, unprotected and locally very demanding path. Hard to follow rare marks. Strayed several times but following ridge and logical passages brought me back to marks.
At top refreshing wind and nice views of entire western Julians ambience. Missed morning views of surrounding peaks so waited for evening glow, whose shine turns mountain faces into balm for the soul.
That day only »climber« on this nice mountain. Two jackdaws at top, chamois herd, three dippers and group of three »servus« gentlemen at hut. Otherwise peace, peace... peace and solitude, even silence fell quiet, planes all fly over eastern Julians and mountain experience is complete.

Surprise!
Since when is there a cross on Krnčica and who put it up?
