Yesterday, 18.11.2015, a Slovenian army helicopter with the help of mountain rescuers took the bivouac down to the valley. They couldn't tell us exactly when and what kind they will install in the future. Considering it defied nature for almost 80 years and was a second home to mountaineers, the sight was quite sad. I hope that in 2016 we will already be able to enjoy the comfort of the new bivouac (let it be similar to the bivouac under Skuta, which was first intended for this location).

Hello! Few days ago on Kukova Špica and before Gulce saddle left towards Škrnatarica noticed path into gully. Read predecessors' notes but still curious about approach to Škrnatarica summit itself. Possible belay on descent and falling rocks? Thanks for reply.

Hello! In the coming days I intend to conquer MMP, but I have a question for experts of Martuljek mountains. Interested which approach is more suitable, via Velika Dnina - MMP summit or approach bivouac Za Akom - Pri treh macesnih - MMP summit? Thanks for answer.

Today the larches on Strelovec were very beautiful, as well as beeches, maples and the first snow of this winter.

Thank you for the reply, if the weather allows ascent in the coming days, I will head to the top.

"Lijaneja" thanks for the info. Regards

Please, can knowledgeable people of the ascent to Middle Rokav write more precisely where the route or path to Kotel branches off, before entering Škrlatica wall or after the path on picture 2 of Gorska planika. Thanks and good luck!

"Todi", please for information, in what condition is the bivouac, is it possible to sleep in it. About ten years ago it was solidly equipped, a couple of years ago I slept in it on bare boards. Thanks for the answer.

Hello!
Since Dom Petra Skalarja on Kanin is closed, please provide information on where one could stay overnight for a multi-day visit to the Kanin massif. Thanks for the answer and regards.

On the 13th and 14th photos there is a spring plant called dog's tooth from the lily family.

Next week I plan to climb Dovški križ and V. Oltar and ask for info on current conditions on the path Poldov rovt-Dovški križ-V. Oltar. No recent posts from this area on the forum. Have they replaced the bivouac removed last fall with a new one as promised? Thanks.
