Yesterday (Monday, February 3rd) to Fužinske gore just like that. Started at Planina Blato and continued along the hunting path to Krstenica and then across Planina Jezerce to Adam and Eve. Back along the same path past the lake and at the end of the valley along the hunting path under the eastern slopes of Ogradov to the Planina v Lazu - Krstenica path. Along this path to Planina v Lazu back to Planina Blato.
The road to Planina Blato was dry, but the first kilometer of the hunting path was annoyingly icy. In the Krstenica area there was little snow, mostly in forest and sheltered spots. Further down the valley there were about 15 to 20 cm of a few days old and wet snow on indeterminate base. It broke through unpredictably in many places. In the valley I was more looking for areas where I believed there would be less sinking than the right direction. Due to trampling and thus slow progress I only climbed to Adam and of course Eve, the last 100 meters I put on crampons (12 points), more out of caution. It turned out there were no hard, slippery dangerous areas, but I progressed more comfortably. The snow was slightly frozen only on top of Adam (2012m) or Eve (2019m). The ancient tale of how these two peaks were formed was recorded in PV 1950/12 and on Gore in ljudje.
Along my own tracks I returned past the lake to the start of the valley. Where it's narrowest I tried sharply right over a fallen tree to follow the almost abandoned hunting path above the Podogradi bottom. The path was not covered with snow here and there and runs very logically, so I somehow found my way. Except for a 20-meter descent on dry, frozen grass somewhere in the middle there were no major problems. Wildlife uses it a lot, whose tracks in the snow sometimes helped me figure out where it actually runs. The last 100 meters the trail was lost to me, so I went straight through the forest to the path to Planina v Lazu. From there to Lazu it was another hour of walking through 15 to 20 cm of untouched newer snow.
I reached the path to Blato just before dark. After trampling all the way from Krstenica (usually to shoe height, many times to mid-calf, a few times one leg painfully hit bottom) on the trodden cart track in the forest I happily put on winter running shoes, clipped on micro crampons and whoo-hoo down the valley. The spikes were useful, the path was icy in many places in the lower part.
It was sunny, warm, no wind. And actually almost real winter, including wading through slush. Only the loose snow was not wintery at all.
