Sun is setting,
everything turning orange,
moon is rising,
I'm running out of breath nasmeh

Exceptional morning hike to Matajur today. As always beautiful and rewarding tour...

It's always nice on Matajur, but when there's no crowd it's even nicer nasmeh

Despite a very late start (at 9.30) from Avsa today without crampons I wouldn't have seen the summit. Icy snow starts even below Idrska planina and goes to the junction for Svino. Further on a bit of fresh snow, which just makes walking easier. View on Tolmin mountains, south Julians, Karnics and even Dolomite giants around noon surprisingly good. Southern side in sea of fog to the hut on Matajur

Yesterday, because of the ice, I preferred to take the old path. Phenomenal views from the top though.

Yes, how many beautiful corners of our little country reveal themselves when you can't go on ferratas and abroad. Among them was Matajur, which I had long planned anyway.

Up from Svino over Svinjska nasmeh

planina and then along the ridge to the summit. On the whole path only one (presumed) Italian on the summit, who didn't even greet back (don't know if the Slovenian greeting bothered him or he was so absorbed in his drone which he was flying around) and we stayed at a safe distance!

Descent to Maršinska planina (yes, to the Italian side ccccc...), snow was still causing some trouble and yes, a bit dangerous in such conditions. Further on the Italian side everything closed of course (both the Slovenian hut and the It. hut), no living soul anywhere.

Back via the Italian side over planina Glava and back to Slovenia to the junction of the path from Avse, from there still about half an hour of re-ascent to the junction where I arrived at the start from Svinska planina and then of course back to Svino.

Hey, if I had known that the road which this path joins shortly after crossing the border goes directly upwards to the junction, I would have saved about half an hour of descent and re-ascent.

When the border opens, of course also Via Palma!

Yesterday's visit to Matajur definitely one of the nicest so far. Lots of snow, road and parking which was almost too small, well arranged. Rest in picture.....

arrival at the border ridge - without test

another of the sculptures - artist still at large would write Oskar

On Sunday from Avše to Matajur, the path was slightly icy in the lower part (small crampons enough), towards the top hard base and enough grip, no crampons needed. No stamp in the summit logbox.

Given all the warnings, my babe and I yesterday chose a more relaxed tour. Almost unbelievable that we did Matajur in short sleeves mid-February. Up and down. Quite a few mountaineers at the top, no crampons needed. Despite the seemingly easy tour, from Svino village near Kobarid where we started, almost 1400m elevation gain and 15km. Interesting tour. nasmeh

Yesterday wonderful day on Matajur. Parked a bit before Svino village. In the village there are only two markings sufficient to direct us to the forest, where from the little bridge onwards they are very frequent. The forest section drags on, cart track well crushed and very steep. Mule track in continuation also steep. In this part met only one female hiker who was already returning.

On Svinska planina lots of livestock, otherwise the pasture looks quite abandoned. Path onwards to junction with usual path from Avsa through high and thorny grasses, full of rocky terrain like on Karst, otherwise always marked. Stopped several times looking back at ridges rising above Soča valley. Very scenic.

Day was hot, only on ridge a little wind blew. In this part also found tasty ripe blueberries. Summit wonderful viewpoint. Some visitors but not too many. Also nice panels with named mountain signs. nasmeh

In the forest, a lot of Fuchs' speedwell

Arrival from the forest to Svinska planina

After a few meters of gravel the trail turns uphill between the huts on the pasture. Well, we read the description poorly and continued for about 15 minutes on gravel towards Idrska planina and met

We turned back and headed straight uphill through the indistinct grassy-rocky valley

Along the path ahead, full of woolly-headed thistle

Wonderful ridges above the Soča river valley

Here completely different flowers, along the path also ripe blueberries

On the ridge all the time right at the border

Clouds obscured the views a bit, but still many peaks could be identified

Left explanatory panel in Slovenian language, right in Italian

The stamp is in the center of the marker, you need to bring the pad with you

We are already returning, beautiful places

On the return right before the pass Svino, sun on Krasji vrh

To the right towards Krn and its neighbors

We swam briefly, at 16h it should have 14 degrees. :)

Bravo, Primož! Great photos, because of such views we go to mountains even more gladly nasmeh

And well chosen day and time. As I see, not the first time mežikanje

Thanks for the nice words nasmeh

Yes, it's true. I have already visited this pleasant summit several times at full moon and have things well studied. Nevertheless, each time it's wonderful and that's why I like to return to the kingdom of Matajur velik nasmeh

Afternoon from Avsa to Matajur, very long path, in forest already trodden track. Further something in between track and holes, on Mrzli vrh ridge blown bare. Further on descent it repeats track/holes and on ridge below Matajur again blown bare. Up there probably mostly Italians who came shorter way. Back same path, only half the way I ran with headlamp.

To avoid avalanches we head to safer summit. From Avsa over Srednji and Mrzli vrh to Matajur. Weather ideal, enough snow, path trodden, recommend at least microspikes for easier descent.

Bandzo13. 02. 2022 20:04:39

Quick visit to this wonderful viewpoint.

Path from Avsa BP, in forest icy, higher up from Srednji vrh onwards snow packed and hard, alternating also with some dry patches. Microspikes stayed in backpack, caution not superfluous.

At summit noticed some names on panorama boards wrong (e.g. Chiavals from this side cannot be before Zuc dal Borom, and visibility allowed to see it live well).

Didn't know until now how Antelao stands out by its prominence and is really distinctly visible.

Wonderful quick trip.
