For me earlier is better, because temperatures are more bearable then and you use less water. Plus, there are often afternoon storms, which you avoid that way. Once I got caught in hail and it wasn't pleasant. Also, some who overnighted at Kredarica only start waking up at 7 am, so you can still pass them.

Thanks nenap. It'll be fine without, it probably won't be a problem for me and I think most go without those protections. The only tricky part is meeting oncoming hikers.
I'm wondering if the parking at Krma is reachable with a slightly lower car or if the terrain is too uneven and I'll have to leave the car earlier? It's supposed to be macadam, that'd be ok if there aren't potholes galore. Does anyone know about this? Thanks!
From what I've read and seen in pictures I can tackle this ascent solo or without company.

If you find the starting point in Krma, you've already solved half the orientation problems.

Does anyone have coordinates for that starting point?  Thanks, garmont, true, as I read the path isn't that hard at all. Physical and mental readiness are key, of which I have plenty hehe.

At a few spots you have to drive slowly because there are ditches across the road.
And at the last meadow before the woods, at least last time I went, there were longitudinal ditches along the road and you had to drive one wheel in the middle of the road, the other a bit over the edge.
At the end just before the parking at the woods there's apparently a torrent and sometimes it washes away the road and you have to be careful.
You can park at the woods. You'll see it quickly because there are quite a few cars parked. Or you can park at the end of the last meadow where the road sharply turns right and there's a concreted ditch across the road at the end of the bend. That's where people usually park mainly in winter when you can't go further.

You guys are great, thanks iUnknown, great instructions! If it doesn't work on the road I'll just leave it somewhere earlier, no problem. Thanks!

My advice on SVK... take it with you, just in case. There are quite a few encounters and you can't imagine how slippery the rock is if a shower hits you... which has been standard this summer. Keep in mind there's still plenty ahead in life, leave the "heroics" to others. Good luck... it'll be a day you'll remember forever

Thanks a lot! I appreciate every reply, opinions, advice and especially warnings. Also the kind wishes. I believe it'll be beautiful! Today I planned to go but I didn't have all the stuff I plan to take yet. So now the trip is off a bit due to weather and other things, but as soon as I sort things out I'll report back. Of course with pics. Be well everyone and safe in the mountains and elsewhere.

This morning conditions were ideal, if you'd gone early enough and been back before noon.
As for gear. I used to drag everything possible with me. But that just increases weight and you're consequently slower and more tired. Now in summer with good weather forecast I reach Triglav with a standard 10L Osprey Raptor that has extra pockets on the belt. OK. If buying now I'd take a 14L one. But if you look at some runners, they carry even much less.

I don't know if anyone would be so good to mark approximately on this photo the paths Krma-Planika-Triglav and Krma-Kredarica-Triglav. Probably won't go alone and would leave one hiker at Kredarica. Could someone e.g. in Paint or somehow else mark approximately the path? Just so I can see it visually? From this relief I really can't imagine. Thanks!

What if you look at some map?

If I can't find my way from this. Google maps leads me on some strange path. Google maps shows me arriving at Triglav from the north side, which is impossible. Just visually (by eye) if someone draws lines for me.  I'd kindly ask. I know I'm overcomplicating, because there are markings anyway, but obviously I need to know this to orient better. Thanks!

Thanks. I looked at that, but can't find my way from it. If I click Planika it draws the path somewhere else, not towards Krma

I don't know what there is to find out.
If you're interested in the path from Krma to Kredarica just follow the red line from Krma to Kredarica. And you have three map options topo/relief/orthophoto.

On the link that coffee gave you all paths are drawn in, you don't need to click anything. The path from Planika towards Krma goes over Konjsko sedlo and Kurica. Also drawn is the path between Planika and Kredarica (under Triglav), if you leave someone at Kredarica you can return there too and go back together.

Thanks to both. I set it to relief, it's better and I found it. It shows nicely.
