Mala Pišnica / hunting hut

On Wednesday we went with the family (wife, ten-year-old, seven-year-old girl and four-year-old) to Macesen in Mala Pišnica. About two kilometers along the stream bed, sticking to the right side (direction of travel or left bank of the stream). Crossing the stream once or twice is inevitable. When the stream bed narrows and the path along it starts rising, we turn sharply and steeply to the right uphill on very crumbly terrain that's exposed in places. We climb about 100 meters, then the path gently enters the forest, where it joins the old path from Jasna, which has been closed for years. The path then runs fairly flat and after a good kilometer leads to the scree fields of the upper part of Mala Pišnica. There we still keep to the right side while walking and cross some gravelly debris cones falling from the walls of Ciprnik. Although the path gets lost on the scree, after less than a kilometer we can easily climb on the right side, slightly elevated above the scree, to the idyllically placed hunting hut. If we want to go to Macesen, we have to continue further. First we descend gently from the hunting hut to the stream bed, then quickly turn into the forest again, where we need to catch a small path. The small path is clearly visible at the beginning for about a kilometer and crosses a few gullies. Then it starts to disappear. That's when we encounter quite a few fallen trees and difficult passages. We have to keep more to the left and go under the steep walls on the right above, then, when the path becomes visible again, climb steeply uphill in gentle zigzags. When we cross a distinct gully to the right, we reach a viewpoint in a few dozen meters, where we can see the waterfall in the head of Mala Pišnica in the distance, falling from the walls of Robičje. From here there's no distinct path to Macesen. The path that exists leads towards Grlo, but if we want to Macesen, we have to leave the path by nose to the right and look for it under the scree of Grlo somewhere at 1430 meters altitude. We won't see it from afar, as it doesn't stand alone, but when we find it, we'll be sure, as it truly stands out with its majesty among mostly deciduous neighbors. Our goal was Macesen. But since the wife didn't want to return downhill over the rather tricky section of path that rises steeply and crumbly from the Mala Pišnica stream bed, we decided to play with the altitude a bit more, so we climbed to the marked path connecting Vršič via Grlo to Tamar. From there we reached the path to Slemenova Špica, then descended via Vratca to Vršič, from where we took the bus back to Jasna. Beautiful and quite adventurous tour. Last year we did it with our then nine-year-old son in a variant where we returned from Macesen back to the hunting hut and then went along the hunting path to Ciprnik, then over Vitranc to the ski slope and down with summer toboggans. In this variant it's a serious tour with 1400m ascent.
Along the Mala Pišnica valley.1
When the streambed narrows and the path rises, we will have to around the bend...2
...steeply upwards3
Then along a comfortable forest path...4
...to a clearing with views of Mojstrovke and Slemenova špica...5
...to the hunting hut, from which we continue ahead...6
...we descend again to the streambed and on the right pick up the path into the forest...7
The path through the forest is clearly visible for about a kilometer...8
Then it gets lost among fallen trees.9
When we pick it up again, we ascend in zigzags...10
...across the characteristic gully (view back)...11
...to a viewpoint from where we spot the Mala Pišnica waterfall in the distance (zoomed).12
From the viewpoint we continue left upwards along the slope, from where we climb less than 100m more and find Macesen below the Grla scree.13
Macesen is hard to find, but impossible to miss :)14

Today my son and I went to Vršič on this path and repeated @jbs's tour. After eleven months everything he wrote still holds true. The only difference is that crossing the stream wasn't necessary and we walked the whole path on the right bank (direction of travel).

Until we joined the Vršič - Slemenova Špica path, we really enjoyed the peace and quiet. Then ...eek

Yesterday my long-standing wish came truenasmeh. Through the valley of Mala Pišnica to the hunting hut we went. And even further, to Ciprnik, although it wasn't planned at first. We weren't even sure if we'd reach the hut at all. Only the descriptions on these pages were our guide and it was enough. Solitary world along the whole path, mysterious, wild and very beautiful. And a bit exploratory. The path is there and isn't, sometimes you feel you don't need it at all. But if you reach the hut, you were on the right path, which took us about two hours, or gave us them, depending on how you take itnasmeh. Wonderful wandering that continues in another storynasmeh.
Already at the start you have to put in some effort1

beautiful isn't it? was there last year and the year before on all variants, didn't post neither here nor to known ones from Italy because TNP doesn't like crowds in this place and so it stays quiet there only those who know and respect the solitary nature go.

Nice, ločanka, I'm still waiting to fulfill that wish (only to the hunting hut, not further) ...
Every year when vacationing in Kranjska Gora, that wish reminds me ... This year I almost fulfilled it, but due to certain problems we rather went only to the pools and there found the path junction. It was also nice and solitary in that corner nasmeh

alessio, you're right. When we reached the top of Ciprnik, we immediately felt the tourism. The buzzing of the drone right over the summit was something you don't expect and quite annoying.

georgia, fulfill your wish as soon as possible, it's nice also just along the path by Pišnica.

It's really nice and solitary there, a few years ago I was there too:

@ločanka: I bet they were Italians! I haven't seen a drone in our hills yet, in theirs I've had to listen to it several times already.

Oh, I've had to put up with that annoying "mosquito" (drone) several times in our mountains, I clearly remember last summer on the path from Ledvice to Prehodavci, right in the idyll and in the middle of TNP ... zavijanje z očmi

This year whenever I was in Italian mountains, the drone was only on the beach of Rabelj Lake, where it's equally annoying and inappropriate, of course. Some Italian retirees had it ... eek

In the TNP area drone use is possible only with appropriate permission. I very much doubt that all fans of these hornets have it.

I've also felt this nuisance several times.
Once at Kriški podi at sunset, once on Kofce and this year at Vodnikov dom. But the caretakers' dog bit the drone on landing and I think destroyed it.velik nasmeh Then there was peace. Most of us applauded.

After three years again in the solitary world of Mala Pišnica, which with its pristine nature, silence and beauty never disappoints. Path to hunting hut is well traceable if you find the start, but higher due to lots of fallen trees loses twice. Newly fallen trees under Grlo saddle provided real obstacle course velik nasmeh If first time here, would have trouble finding right path, but it was BP, ignoring escaped phone, close encounter with fat chamois and 2x soaked shoe, plus excellent guide dog with me nasmeh
From Grlo continued to Vratca, from where descended to Vršič, where Nessy sheep a bit aside watched what's going on and where so many dots from (probably they were a bit fouž velik nasmeh). After break in nice shade descended to Tonkina koča, where taxi waited. Real tour for the soul nasmeh

No, because I don't know where it is zmeden But I'd gladly find it. Can you give a little hint about the location? Supposed to be somewhere above Grlo - Vratca path, not even in Pišnica itself. Is that true?
Can also on ZS mežikanje
