Triglav

Ascension carried out between 11/1/1999 and 11/3/1999

1/11: Departure at 9:00 on the parking lot of the Hotel Zlatorog (Ukanç - 525m.) Where I leave the fur. First flat section until you reach the end of the track that comes from Ukanç, then a steep climb inside the forest (final part very right with some section with cable, easy) until you reach Lake Crno. From there, the path plans quite a bit until it climbs a bit to reach the lakes of the Ovojno and Mozivej and the refuge of Triglavska Jezerih (closed in November). Follow the clear and perfectly signposted path (as always in Slovenia) that gradually ascends into the shadow of the summits of Za Kopico, which are on our right. Arriving at the refuge of Zasavska at 4:30 p.m., at five it is dark. Refu free open and well equipped, blankets and everything.
2/11: I take it when the sun goes down and I return to work. Just go out and give me a good day a group of wild goats. This section of the route is the most exposed of the route, the path winds through a small terrace hanging over a 500-year-old rocky bar. The most dangerous stretches are properly protected with cables, taking the usual precautions in this type of terrain.
After passing this stretch, we turn to the east and climb to the refuge of Trzaska or Doliçu (closed in November) and from here we climb zigzag to the vast plain with a lush landscape that slowly brings us to the west face of the Triglav . Rise by a fairly straight channel equipped with cables (some step from II) to the top (2,864). Impressive views of the Julian Alps and the Austrian peaks.
The descent is quite technical for a via ferrata in good condition that in little more than an hour takes me to Planika (also refu closed). From there follow the path that leads to the refuge of Vodnikov, under Monte Vernar (2,235). Free open and well-equipped part. I share a night with a group of young Slovenian hikers.
3/11: Vodnikov downhill through the path that crosses the woods over the valley of Voje, precious, green meadows dotted with wooden houses. Long but clear descent until you reach the town of Stara Fuzina and from there bordering the lake on the northern shore until you reach the Hotel Zlatorog again, where today I sleep ... ($ 42)
