Today my colleague and I went to the summit via Kopiščarjeva through the front window, descended through the back window via Jubilee path. One also came up Hanzova path, said with some improvisation you can cross the collapse spot.

I'd mention also to be careful on Kopiščarjeva path as marks have completely faded. Especially in fog.
Protections on both paths in satisfactory condition. Hardest part of the whole route is descent from back window. There you need to trust yourself and the seemingly wobbly stone. Jubilee path not for vertigo sufferers.

P.S. No pics because camera had empty batteries

Descent from Dolgi hrbet is easier to Mlinarsko sedlo than crossing to Štruca. It's also closer.

According to descriptions and time estimates on this forum, which are very similar to those on signs, you would spend a total of 10.5 hours on the path. Of course, it all depends on extra stops, weather and ability to keep a steady pace. And be careful on the descent to Ledine.

Ravenska Kočna - Češka koča - Dolgi hrbet - Skuta: 5 h 30 min http://www.hribi.net/trenutnerazmere.asp?slo=1&gorovjeid=3&id=1902

Skuta - Koroška Rinka 2 h 30 min http://www.hribi.net/trenutnerazmere.asp?slo=1&gorovjeid=3&id=2687&stran=3

I had 2 liters and some fruit. It wouldn't have hurt to have an extra liter or two. Of course it depends on the individual how much fluid one loses in the heat and while hiking (ascent, descent).

Yesterday I also did the same route as Damien 83 but in reverse order. Start at Suhadolnik and past Cojzova koča and bivouac under Grintovec to Skuta. Then over Dolgi hrbet to Mlinarsko sedlo and to Grintovec. Followed descent to Dolška škrbina and ascent to Jezerska Kočna. From there on to Kokrska Kočna and through Grdi graben back to Suhadolnik.

On the route no snowfield crossings, protections in perfect condition, views in nice weather incredible. Only complaint to route maintainers is the upper ladder on the path over Taško, which in current state is more obstacle than help - so careful there.

Best, M

Yesterday we were at the top, the saying "early hour, golden hour" proved true, since later the heat became unbearable, the parking at Planina Pecol too small for all cars. There was real chaos on the return.

Otherwise, the unmarked path without features or difficulties, a helmet can come in handy if more chamois or ibex appear.

About 10 years ago I did the tour: Bohinjska Bistrica - Crna Prst - Rodica - Vogel - down Žagarjev graben to the lower cable car station. The route took approximately 12 hours including all breaks. But note that I was in exceptional condition then. Hope this helps. Best regards
