If anyone knows someone from PD Kranj, tell them that the wind uncovered and damaged the bivouac under Kočna. The caretaker from Kokrsko sedlo reports.

Today I went from Suhadolnik over Taška to Grdi graben to the bivouac under Kočna. Actually I had planned Kočne with Grintavec, but the weather didn't allow it. Let me mention that on Taška the last wooden ladder before the Taška summit is still badly damaged. The wood is completely rotten and climbing it is already dangerous; we have to step between the rungs. At the summit, rocks on the right greet us with Zois bells. From the Taška summit we continue towards Coisova koča and at the former planina a sign directs us to Grdi graben. Grdi graben offers even edelweiss and full of other flowers. After about two hours from Suhadolnik we are at Spodnje Dolce. I always run into a chamois herd grazing carefree on the beautiful greens of Spodnje Dolce. Somewhat offended, they slowly retreat higher and disappear from sight. Grassy fields full of holes, marmots live here, but I saw none. At the top of Spodnje Dolce I turn left into the rocks to the bivouac under Kočna. Really surprised by the bare roof, so the entire tin roof torn off. Lining visible, which rain and wind will soon destroy. The doors really can't close, just leaned; I nailed them with the crampon bottom, but don't know when the wind will push them and cause more damage. Interior not damaged yet. Doors either stretched or really twisted. Anyway, calling on the responsibles to immediately start repairing the damage, as it would be a shame if this bivouac falls apart after so many years. It offers pleasant rest and shelter to many hikers to Kočne and also to Grintavec and Dolgi hrbet with Skuta. I aired the bivouac a bit, closed it as best I could and went to Coisova koča over Ovnov črez. After a good hour at the hut. All in fog, no photo possible, then just the old path to Suhadolnik to the car. It rained the whole way on me. Second time I didn't reach the goal in this area, no problem, summer season still long. I like returning to this corner.

Fantastic, guys. Sincere thanks for saving the bivouac. Judging by the pictures, it looks like quality work has been done - for the next 60 years.

Great, what all can be done if there's will and a pro team. Just in time you saved the bivouac's wooden formwork from collapse. Congratulations!

Since the guys are modest and don't praise themselves, it's right that we do it. And all who helped prepare the action in the valley. Congrats! Which PD is behind it?

Bravo and thanks! Regularly every year I go, sometimes only here and then to Ovnov čer to Zois Hut. On Saturday I'll visit it again.

The bivouac is really excellently repaired now. It still lacks doors and then it'll be as it should be.
Meanwhile, Andrej and I climbed to it today via vesine under the SW wall. Access to them is a moderate orientation challenge (if you know where to look), but you spend a lot of time in steep forest, overgrown gullies and of course superb views.
From the bivouac we continued to Kokrška Kočna and onwards to Jezersko, then descended to Dolce via Hudi graben and Taška to the forestry clearing and "nailed" the loop.
It was great!

In September, when I was hiking to Grintovec, I noticed they were renovating the bivouac. I'm interested if there is any path from the upper parking lot above Suhadolnikova homestead to the bivouac? Namely, at this parking lot a forest path branches off to the north and I assume that's where the bivouac maintainers went up. If there is a path, what is its difficulty? Thanks for the info.

There is basically no path. But there is more or less passable terrain, where you just have to find passages to the grassy ledges that take you to the bivouac.

When you go to Kokrško Kočno and when you reach the smaller "meadow" at Spodnje Dolce with depressions and left up there is also a sign where the path branches off to the bivouac, of course you see it from afar so you can't miss it

@Pando probably interested in the direct approach to the bivouac, via unmarked path.
At the parking you mention (I call it forestry) you head left into a very steep gully. When it ends follow the track left and follow it about 200m to a larger log. There head straight up into the steep forest towards the rocky-grassy barrier. I know there is some hunting passage secured with a piece of cable here. Last time I didn't find it (we usually go there in winter and it's easier to pass due to snow). So I traversed under this barrier about 200m to the left, where a steep grass-covered gully "threw me out" under the SW wall of Kočna. There is even a small cairn that directs you right into the grassy slopes. If you're very attentive in these grassy ledges you catch some slightly trodden path. The bivouac (otherwise not visible from the path) is located right under the prominent pointed pinnacle in the ridge.
Difficulty? Mainly orientation, mixed terrain, locally very steep, in wet risk of slipping.
best d

Maybe this will help a bit.
Panda, check ZS too.
