Yesterday we were up there. First snow patches appear in Dolu pod plazmi, higher than the pasture V Plazeh, a good part of the path is still under snow, winter gear not needed, caution yes.
We spent the day charged with emotions and full of memories. Infinitely grateful we didn't meet anyone… we really wanted to be alone with our thoughts and feelings.

@ločanka
At the end you wrote "just those bears  "
A few years ago I read expert advice that went something like this and might help:
"When heading to an area where you might encounter a bear, tie a small bell to your wrist or ankle with a string. The bell will jingle (rattle for the bear) and if you cough loudly every now and then, you'll greatly reduce the chance of meeting the beast, as it will retreat if it hears you. Occasionally step aside from the path and look at the ground, you might spot a pile of mud (bear scat). Poke it with a stick and if you see human teeth and seeds from forest fruits in it, that means it's really bear scat, since they (also) feed on that. But if you find a string with a bell in the pile of mud, then run away as fast as your legs can carry you"

What did you make of Gita's emotional farewell to her mountain friend?
You switched to bear poop. But life goes on and Igor would probably add something cheeky too.

Drago,
more than once I was with Igor in the mountains, also on Čisti vrh, on foot and on skis . . . And once even together with Gita and Igor . . . Her post is wonderful and my post has nothing in common with her or Igor.
It is exclusively a mischievous remark on the concern of @ločanke ...

Turbo, excellent and instructive fable. Anyway, if we go challenge the bear, we must also accept the consequences of the encounter with it.

Gita, very very nicely written and it reaches the heart. Igor and Tatjana rest in peace.

I was not on Čisti vrh, but close below  Conditions were appropriate to the heat wave, so the tour went differently than planned. When I drew the line under the day's experience at the end, it could hardly be better. Posting mainly for the photos and a few words to show what conditions are (were) like if someone goes to these wonderful areas. And what to expect (with some luck or misfortune)

Today on Čisti vrh.
From the barrier at Skala village to the Plaz pasture we cross three fairly large screes. If someone doesn't know the path, there might be some problems finding it when crossing the screes.
From Plaz pasture to Čisti vrh the path goes almost always on snow and it's sometimes hard to find the right one. Luckily the direction is always clear.
On the summit some blue sky briefly, otherwise mostly threatening rain.
For newcomers to the path I advise against a visit for a couple of weeks, otherwise the usual peace and quiet (and incredibly many fresh bear tracks). Well, the sign warns of bear presence right at the barrier.

The bear is no longer a rarity. They cover lots of ground. Last year the Špič hut keeper told me a bear came to the hut. Last year, end of October, while descending in the dark along the dry streambed from BG I thought some bear could get me. If you're going there, take a whistle. They say it doesn't like noise.

Ločanka, you have two options to choose from when going on a path where you can meet a bear.

What if he's also in sneakers?

Ah, no way. He won't be in sneakers, since he's not afraid of you
