Yes, on the picture there is a machine gun nest, maybe also a mountain artillery nest, a window that looks out onto the open. The Italians relentlessly attacked, that's why so many remains on the path.

majčica19. 09. 2012 08:00:43

@ksena.. it was really nice and Krnčica is definitely worth visiting nasmeh

Thanks to both

Since when is the path to Krnčica marked? jezen

majčica19. 09. 2012 08:56:20

@BT88.. the path has been marked since November 2011 mežikanje

BT8819. 09. 2012 08:59:57

Yes, majčica, in 2008 and when there was no cross yet it was really nice there, beautiful it was zadrega

Really nice photos, congratulations! At the same time also informative, since rarely anyone shows the path so nicely, where you can even see how to get by car to the starting point. Mostly only close-up shots are posted, from which you can't discern as much as from your "distant" photos.

I'm wondering who allowed putting a cross on Krnčica? I thought there was a general consensus that summits shouldn't be littered with new and new "ornaments". Especially not ideological or religious ones. For God's sake, let at least some summit remain "natural"...

Maybe the Drežnica mountaineers would know, who allegedly also marked the mentioned path.

Kriška19. 09. 2012 14:30:24

Personally I don't see crosses on mountain tops as religious symbols (religious symbol is mainly that cross with corpse nailed on top). The cross (equilateral) is much older symbol than Christian religion. I really like that summits are somehow marked and this marking is not our Slovenian invention at all; if crosses are too problematic, let it be something else, e.g. X sign or such :-).

cebelca19. 09. 2012 14:54:25

Or e.g. red star? mežikanje

I'm also of the opinion that the cross is superfluous. Summit logbox with stamp suffices completely.

turbo19. 09. 2012 15:08:45

No stamp!

panda19. 09. 2012 15:33:13

In my opinion, stamps are losing meaning, since sometimes they're not at the summit, but in the hut or similar. So it's not necessary to step on the summit to get the stamp. For me, photos from the trip suffice, which I always gladly look at again or share with friends.

cebelca19. 09. 2012 16:08:57

Well, that's what it's called, box with stamp. mežikanje

Personally the stamp is useless to me. Actually the box neither. nasmeh

turbo19. 09. 2012 16:17:51

No stamp and no camera mežikanje

And every ten years with one more cross in the mountains zavijanje z očmi

A mountaineering tour is like figure skating nasmeh

It consists of an artistic and technical impression zmeden

Artistically, it's all that feeling that so pleasantly warms your heart when wandering in the useless world.
Technically, it's all that you grab with your feet and hands, which is sometimes steeper, sometimes less.

Well, each in their own way, of course. And to each their own too.

@majčica nicely described and pictured the ascent to Krnčica, which is worth a visit; even nicer is the full ridge traverse to Krn, which truly delights the real mountaineer. But I can't overlook that there are always some who are bothered by everything, although they haven't been in these mountains for 5, 10 years or never and have so much to say.

The cross on Krnčica is a very nice product - look at the picture again and enjoy...

mirank19. 09. 2012 21:46:43

Almost all illegal constructions are nice products, especially in protected areas...

Yesterday despite forecasts of hellish temperatures I headed to Krnčica. At the starting point above Drežniške Ravne at 6am 18 degrees, on return even 31.
But in the morning most of the path was in shade, no excessive moisture either, so I reached the top of Krnčica all fresh and could have flown further. After some time sitting in the sun all enthusiasm evaporated. I returned the same way and climbed Lopatnik, which fog rolling from the valley started to cover. I descended to Vrata and sat there quite a while in pleasant coolness hoping the fog would clear so I could continue ridge traverse to Vršič.
Fog wouldn't budge, I got tired of sitting, so descended to planina Zapleč.
After about an hour of walking sky above peaks cleared, only Krn still hid in clouds. With each step sun burned more mercilessly, skin almost burning at end. 3 liter water bladder almost empty too.
Despite that it was great.

Towards Zapleč pasture in morning coolness cows graze on pastures, sun illuminates sky above Vrata

through enclosure on Zapleč pasture, Matajur in background

Zaprikraj pasture and Krasji vrh already basking in sun

view down on path with countless zigzags leading to Vrata saddle

Krnčica summit to which no trail sign in valley points

Krasji vrh above the pastures Zapleč and Zaprikraj, in the background Kaninsko pogorje

Drežnica with neighboring hamlets, in the background Matajur

even stamp collectors get their due at Krnčica, to which from the path to Krn only the sign VRH points

on the path I scare a 20-30 cm long little snake that looks like a huge viper in the photo (which it actually is, and it will grow even more)

sheep on the juicy pasture below Lopatnik

smartly thrusting their heads into the shade under the rock

towards Vrata the mists are already rolling in

the summit amid countless remnants from the First World War still resists the fog

above the highest peaks clouds are already gathering

while waiting for the fog to dissipate, I admire the flowering slopes

the fog persists, so I descend to the pasture Zapleč, which I catch sight of when the fog thins after a short descent

in the lower part the path leads through tall grass

view back towards Vrata, which the clouds are leaving

saddle Vrata. Lopatnik and Krnčica (slightly zoomed)

path with countless switchbacks that leads to saddle Vrata

path across pastures below planina Zapleč (Vrata and Lopatnik on the right)

Sorry, wondering if car access to planina Zaprikaj is possible? Some time ago the road about 300m above parking above Drežniške Ravne (at bend in cutting where terrain slippery and wet) was deliberately dug up and damaged. I think it was done so we wouldn't drive to planina Zaprikaj and shorten paths to Krasji vrh or Krnčica by a good hour...

SuzanaM29. 07. 2013 09:26:56

The road was repaired last year because they were hauling wood from the forest. This year at end of winter it was locally quite dug up, especially to the bend where path to Curk waterfall branches off and a bit higher where quite some stones fell on the road. Given numerous cars driving on it, probably in better condition now. If your car has higher ground clearance, no problem.
Since the car I drive doesn't, I go on foot via hiking path branching right right at start. Path is nice and scenic, also hot in these summer days. Better to do it morning when sun not shining yet. Otherwise via path to Krasji vrh which mostly goes through forest in lower part.
