Kopitnik

On Sunday 4.1., the last free day I'm thinking where to head to the hills, as I planned to go to Konmo but buddy couldn't make it, alone I won't go either. Well I decide for nearby Kopitnik. I also take paraglider, conditions good to descend with it to the valley. Start from Rimske Toplice past Lurd chapel. Weather cloudless, clear, no wind and cold. After good hour already at takeoff, bit ahead of hut towards Kopitnik top. Snow about 10-15 cm. Immediately unfold glider for takeoff, and happily fly to valley where my Uršika already waits.

On Saturday "walk" to Kopitnik, from Rimske Toplice, from in front of the church. BP path, weather ok, a bit cold, up there still quite white winter...nasmeh

They say morning is best in the morning. Anyway frozen stiff from train arriving at Zidani Most station at 3am, headed to Kopitnik, 910m. Up through Širje by full moon and through Gore with cm snow to top about hour before sunrise. Down direct through Velika Širje to train at 10am.

Day is completely different.
(Here comes the sun I sang at -5°C :-)

Happy hiking!

Yesterday before work I do second part of recon tour to Kopitnik from Zidani Most via Veliki Širje. Path leads through Mali and Veliki Graben and at path start at quarry I have quite trouble finding start zmeden, and also on some sections markings just disappear or so faded hard to tell age. Despite minor searches I check whole path to Kopitnik top and must admit path nicely routed steeply but pleasant walking. Except chamois in Kopitnik walls that day meet no one.

Yesterday Esther and I from Rimske Toplice headed to Kopitnik. To top ascended via path past church Our Lady of Lourdes in Ogeči (Lurd), descended via path past hamlet Borovo. Both paths normally passable, just few spots muddier due to rain past days.

To Kopitnik we went from village Širje. At start followed markings to direction Gore, then at well visible fork turned to Kopitnik. Path well marked all way, steep only initial part. First ascended to top, then stopped at hut which is very nicely set up.

Rimske Toplice - Hrastnik: Morning was mežikanjeright one, still some night chill, 4:52 Poljčane & at 5:45 new day in Rimske Toplice. Still sleepy settlement and rail station of course first contact with place under mighty Kopitnik massif. Cheerful teens - assume sleepless too got off train...and we with buddy Vinko facing new challenge and connections between Savinja and Sava...Path via Lurd to Kopitnik and real challenge in morning that sun relentlessly carved more into day. Flashes of spirituality and silence at Lurd church but sturdy step to hut uphill while chatting about this and that, at Kopitnik and top of course for - height of day. View from top excellent., still some fog in valley. Continuation extension to hut in Gore and more on hiking themes conversation thread ran. Of course to subsidiary church St. George parish Dol pri Hrastnik, which was pleasantly in glow of earthly - Sunday peace and kind of supreme spiritual protector is St. George, places nearby and wider area...

Next some path section that interested me most and was complete novelty. Into world towards Dol pri Hrastnik we set step and in talk switched to theme of hard and strenuous mining/miner tradition and modest hard-earned bread crust. Mining somehow marks these places, sadly more in past. In this path section connecting links certainly Rovškov hrib and Kovk, which additionally represent this unique and somewhat own world between Dol and Hrastnik. Still pleasant Krnice above Hrastnik and quickly we dropped to Hrastnik – one of three main pillars of mining tradition and pride. Still some time left and we set somewhat step towards Kum via path over Matica to end of big meadow somewhere basic acquaintance of path start. 11:45 hour, meaning end and also departure from mining areas.

Route:Rimske Toplice - Hrastnik, 16.06.2013

Weather calendar appropriate, paths dry. Old good Kopitnik with surrounding points always freshness and right measure for tour to taste, not too short not too long, I'd say – just right. Hiking activity we somewhat extended with path via Lurd and Rovškov hrib/ Kovk of course planned, to get somewhat wider view into space between Rimske Toplice and Hrastnik. Still interesting note at Hrastnik station somewhere in style - ,,We like you Hrastnik hooligans,, and somewhere I return message in style ,,Interesting places, we'll return and miners Good luck. End. 12:57, Poljčane. Lp Bruno/bruny

The hiking path is somewhat poorly marked in the section between the hut on Gorah and the junction to Dol pri Hrastnik - it would be necessary to renew mainly the markings, while further on the path through Kovk and Zavrate to the junction with the path from Hrastnik the marking is even more deficient or in the form of red five-pointed stars, already heavily faded as it's also an NOB path. This path is also much less visited as seen, which is logical as we take shortcuts somewhere and mainly locals use it. In pre-tour preparation I expected this somewhere and it didn't surprise me in practice. Locals however extremely friendly, ready to help with information...Lp

Today we were hunting for a botanical treasure,
we moved even above the abyss,
to spot the fragrant flower,
that adorns Kopitnik's world too.

Blagaj's wolfsbane is a protected flower,
it has felt the knife's blade too much,
so a person honestly strains their eyes,
to delight in the flower that beautifies nature.

Our found wolfsbane unfortunately adorned a human dwelling,
I think that's not the owner's nicest deed.

A mountaineer who goes to the spa for a week can't go without hills. While the wife was bathing in Rimske Terme, I went alone twice to Kopitnik (via Ogeški stream valley and past Lurd), which is only 914 m high, elevation difference about 700 m, so at least I didn't fully drop out of mountaineering. Paths go through the forest, the summit also has some cables.

Kopitnik/Gore
Before 8 o'clock we park in Zidani Most next to the railway station. In fog we head to Kopitnik. At St. Mary chapel we hardly see Gore in the fog. Then we decide to go "our own way". Steep in beech forest we reach the ridge. No idea where we emerged...?
A bit on meadows, among flowers, in the sun, through mud we wade past the hut to the summit (KOPITNIK 914m). We look around a bit and to the hut. We snack and on to the mountain hut in Gore. If before we waded through mud, now asphalt. In Gore past St. Jurij chapel and descent to Hrastnik. Finally end of road and nice path to valley. Sava already nicely visible. After cca. 20km, 5:30 hours walking at station. Train in 15 min.
Tour pleasant, but for us used to pathless a bit too much road...zavijanje z očmi
